Woohoo , the MINI is the new child, she wouldn't wait to go to the hospital now would she

Guys they look great!!! Glad your baby's finally made it home

Jolly, checker board on the roof is pretty cool

Chris, I like that color, didnt think I would but it looks great with the black accents

Enjoy, they are sooo much fun to drive

Hello all. I just wanted to post a little something that may give those in waiting some hope. Everyone's waiting time will be different for sure. Since joining this thread I've seen some pretty sporadic delivery times. So here's hoping your wait time will be short. My personal experience was very good. My Coupe was ordered on January 8th and arrived at my dealer in Minneapolis on March 3rd. So keep the faith and know your wait will result in happy times with your new Mini. :-)

Hey, thanks! Yeah, it's a polarizing color, that's for sure. People either love it or hate it. My last car was a similar color...so, yeah, I'm in love.

As requested - pics of the floor mats, and daytime shots of the black trim.

You can't see it in the pictures - but the floor mats have a JCW logo centered along the rear edge. It's a 3d badge, pretty high quality. The mats themselves are not plush at all - they are more like a woven material, somewhat similar to cordura. Very durable. The black area on the driver's side where your heels rest is plush, however. They are thin and light, and I like them quite a lot.

And yeah, it rained last night...stupid tree dropped flowers all over my car.

No news still. All the boys are sitting at the port awaiting a ship. Hopefully we get put on the 11th. At this point ASKMINI is useless since they cant see past it getting to the port then not again until it hits the VDC. Heres to hoping the ships hurry up and update their information, ill accept nothing less than an every hour on the hour update of where my baby boy is on his trip across the pond lol.

Hopefully they're holding the boat for mine to get thru today's build completion!

If I'm not off, your Mini should be coming into port in Tampa along with mine.

Here are some more pics of our new baby. It's actually sunny in Seattle today!

Love it! Congrats!!

Awesome Chris!!! Congrats!!! Your interior is exactly what I ordered with the exception of the cool floormats. Great to see it in real life. How are you liking the seats?
Thanks,
Kim

Correct me if im wrong but i don't recall there being a port in Tampa. I was told we go through the VDC in Brunswick, GA.

Thanks! The seats are really nice. I like the cloth, the stitching in red is a great touch, and the seats are firmer than the standard pleather ones in the base cooper, which I like. And, the heated seats get hot FAST! It's awesome on my back too.

Chris

I can live w that. Then they dock sooner than coming around the state to the Gulf.

Brunswick, GA is the port for us in the south all the way out to Texas.

Didn't really need the heated seats, but decided to get them anyway. Will be nice for going to work in the morning when the weather is cold.

Cool!

So, they're waiting for mine to get done today so they can get it on the same ship as ChefTyGuy

Looks good! I'm seriously thinking about the floormats for our mini too, brightens up the floor area a lot. was going to ask the MA if he could throw them in for free
But not sure if it will be too many checks inside since we will get the checkerboard dash trim fitted...

Awesome! I only have two more weeks to wait to see mine. I should have gotten the heated seats. It's my only regret besides park assist. I spent it on the paint instead.

I've been through this waiting game twice before, and it looks like we're going for number three...

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Not too many checks at all. It will be Psychedelic man. Combined with the rotating light pattern, it will be cool, baby. Yeah! [/SIZE][/FONT]

wassup dewey!! so when you getting your baby?? mine just landed at the port and hopefully here in 10 days or so!!!!

as for the those waiting.. its def a tough wait but hopefully not too bad.. you get to meet a lot of cool future and present mini owners here and shoot each other ideas on what to do to our minis. as my signature shows, i've been pretty lucky in the speed of building and receiving my Mini Coupe; i think i was lucky enough to get a dealer reserved slot.

the next 10 days will be my longest 10.. just need to pass the time by trying to sell my civic si...

Quix - you out there? Have you gotten out of VDC yet? I wonder if the storm slowed everything down in Baltimore.

I'm here, totally carless as I sold my Jeep yesterday. I've heard that Quix will be at the dealers tomorrow, but I don't think they are completely sure of that. Time will tell, but seems that storm really put a wrench in things.

i think your right about the storm.. my baby was suppose to hit baltimore on the 5th but didn't get to port till today. hope you get your baby soon

I think I got really lucky too... my MA processed my order on Monday and I just saw today that it's already in production. I should be getting it just before my birthday!

Production is scheduled to finish on the 13th. Will my little guy have any buddies coming across the pond to NY?
