[QUOTE=S'poreSTI;3703905]Well, our MINI came home today, got to meet her big brother for the first time, they seem to get along well...

Sure looks like the makings of a good old fashioned drag race. That Spicy Orange looks very nice with the Silver/White accents.

 

Sounds like a plan to me. We're looking at the possibility of coming down on Thanksgiving this next year. It looks like Lil Raggi has been unloaded from his luxury liner. According to my MA, there will be no more news until he is unloaded at the dealership. That'll be 4 - 7 days, but most are saying it'll be closer to four more days. Shucks, he may be now waiting for his truck to come in. Let's hope. This is crazy, I feel like a kid locked out of the candy store and it won't open for four, or more days. Am I the only one like this?

 

looking great!!! the color of each car contrasts the other hmm, like others said.. looks like a great drag race setup on a back windy road

 

Wow, they looks great with the two tone , top in silver.

 

Looks awesome Jimmy. Cant wait to see her all cleaned up and ready to hit the road. Congrats buddy

 

Is there anyone else out there on the "Tiger" coming into the West Coast to Port Hueneme?
I've been trying really hard to track this ship with no luck. I think she's been on the open seas for the past 10 days and I'm afraid she's on a lost course.
Can anyone else find her and let me know where she's at?
My baby's on that ship!

Thanks,
Jeff

 

I have a friend with a car on the same vessel and have been tracking also on her behalf. As it's manifest shows it heading straight for the Panama Canal, it's not going to report in until it gets close. Which is the 24th if I remember right. So don't worry! In my experience they don't check in on the open sea, only by the coastline...from the canal onward all the way to SD you'll be able to see it. And you can even see the ship on the Canal's video cameras if you're lucky...

Headed for Manzanillo on the 24th, per this page^

 

YES!!! And the wait in VDC and then to the dealer is killing me!!! From there I have to wait for the stripes, antenna and bonnet scoop to be installed. My MA said a full day for the stripes alone. Ugh.
So close yet so far away..... I was hoping to get her by Saturday. Oh well. Better than it being January still.

 

Thanks Dog Boy! I know it will be, but I seem to have run out of patience as it's gotten closer to home. I don't really have a choice, though.
Just thinking that this time next week, I'm going need surgery to stop smiling!!!

 

Hi Steve! Welcome! That's a nice looking ride! LOVE the color... !
Kim

 

Nice!!! Love that spoiler! I may have to consider that when I'm over the hump of the down payment.

 

Looking really good! Congrats again!!

 

Thanks thirdrail"d"lab,
I have to step away from my computer, this is making me crazy! Maybe I'll come back to it on the 24th so that I can try to watch it come through the canal.

 

I am on the Tiger also. On 3-22 it was in the Caribbean Sea at Lat. 17.828 Long. -68.587. It is due at Manzanillo, Mexico on 3-24-2013 which is past the Panama Canal. Due in CA on 4/2/2013.

 

Very good mb2020,

Where is your car going to from SD?

 

My MINI is headed to Denver.

 

OMG!! the day has come and gone.. now i'm just taking a very quick break to post some mini ****







more to come on sat.. sadly she's already dirty from cruising minneapolis..

btw.. the paddle shifting on the auto is actually very fun!! i drive it like my manual w/o the clutch.. not bad at all!

 

Very Nice Coupe! The color combo is awesome!

 

Cool, my birthplace.
Mine is staying in California, north of SD, to Santa Clara.

 

Nice!

 

Jeff,

On marine traffic app, the Tiger is showing to be just south of the Dominican Republic headed for Panama!

 

i'd totally recommend it!! looks sweet, mine cost about $1460 w/the silver painting and installation and i get the rest of the parts back too incase i want to revert back (which i doubt i will so i'll prob be selling my factory wing parts).

 

What?! Dirty already? Oh no! Glad to see your having fun. Don't forget we that do not have a new MINI yet demand more pictures!!!

 

Awesome! I'm super partial to Coupe's! Love the spoiler!
