Man, am I jealous!

I was hoping you were on a WW Line and that the search worked for you. Now I have to bite my nails 'til my MA informs me on which "luxury liner" my MINI has boarded if she, too, is on a K-Line ship.

Doh!

 

Happy Birthday to my little guy!!

Anyone have a jet I can borrow and go pick him up right now?

 

After a long wait, the day finally arrived. The delivery went smoothly and the drive home was a blast. I rocked it old school with the Police. Tomorrow I'll post some pics of the new bundle of joy.

 

Congrats Dog Boy! Looking forward to seeing your new MINI!

 

Well, I'm just getting back ON this horse, for the third time...

Congrats! Look forward to the pictures tomorrow!

 

Right on & congrats to you! You can see your RO RO as it comes through the Panama Canal. They have their own live cameras set up. I was able to capture/track our MINI from the UK all the way to the Port of Hueneme via different AIS tracking systems- neat stuff!

 

Tex6,

Maybe my daughter can check out your Mini for you as she lives up in Lewisville. She'd be more than happy to give it a test drive, just to make sure everything is all right. Anyway, you and I are close on our guys. Mine is expected into port on 3-21 and pick up from Chicago area dealer on 3-30.

 

Sure, that would be great! I don't want to get cheated. I'll box up some warm weather and send it up your way for you being so generous. Born and raised up there (Sibley), that's the Hawkeye part.

Last night I checked and saw that the Chesapeake Highway was 30 miles off the coast from Virginia Beach, VA, now she's heading up Chesapeake Bay for Baltimore and looks to be a day ahead of schedule! We're getting there!

 

Fantastic!! I'm still waiting, can you believe. The Paceman launches tomorrow and I have no clue when I'll take delivery. Hopefully they were holding it back for the launch and I get the news today.

 

Thanks again Kim,

I'm going to have to make you my MA!
The schedule was a little confusing although I didn't have much time to really look at it.

By the way everybody, here is a picture of what I'm so anxiously waiting for...

 

WOW!
So I just checked the status of Marius and he's on his way!
As of this morning he is Enroute! He is on the ship! I don't know which one but right now I don't care!
Did I mention that he's on his way!? Yay!!!!

 

day three out to sea and Athens Highway has yet to report it location

 

"Out of Range" is what I get when I try to search for it here:

Just be happy it's not a Carnival Cruise Line!

 

And I just checked and they about to make the turn into the dock with tugs ready to nudge her in. Now just get the stewards working and get them MINIs off the ship so it can head down to Brunswick!

 

I used to know a stevedore who worked the car docks in Balto., but he's gone to that great boat port in the sky ... so I can't make that call to light a fire under those boys!

 

My car went into production 13 hours after my order last night. That's a new record, for me anyway!

 

Well this is the best I can do for pictures right now. If you know winter in ND then you'll understand what the car looks like now that it's home. Picked her up and left Minneapolis at 10:00am yesterday. Made it back home to ND at 8:30pm. A little story for all of us that hate our run flat tires(and I'm one of them)...... 10 miles from home last night I picked up a nail and my run flats saved me. Couldn't believe it.......

 

Today was the last day I could make changes to my order before it was locked in. I have to say when I was picking a color, it came down to SO, or BRG, but I didn't like the way SO looked on miniusa.com. So I went with BRG. After seeing these pics, and being down in Ramstein at the Dealer today where they had a SO JCW on the floor, I changed my color over to SO.

I already have all the parts sitting in my house to black out the chrome and the lights (Black LED tail lights, side markers and cyclops as well). I can't wait to get it here next month and get the work done.

 

Congrats!!!

 

VERY nice!! Congrats!!

 

Thanks :-)

 

Just got word that our CM is on the truck being transported to the dealer. My MA told me the 18th but then when I call Mini they said the 17th. That is a Sunday so I am hoping Monday!!!!!!

 

Looking sweet!!! And the run flats save the day. Hehe. Can't wait for more pics! Congrats buddy!! Green looks very nice.

 

how does the sports suspension feel on the mn roads? i'm curious to see if its as stiff as the reviewers all whined about. i forgone sports suspension based on what i had heard about stiffness/jarring on potholes.

you prob almost broke in your baby too!
