I shouldn't joke... that's likely the ship mine is going to be on.
What port is yours coming into?

Sweet.... I think the wait for something you really lust after makes obtaining it every sweeter. Was the case with my girlfriend in third grade.

Exactly. But with mine due out of production on Monday, I would not be a bit surprised if that's the ship it ends up on.

I'll keep some fingers crossed for you.

By the way, when mine arrives at the dealership, I suspect they will have it for a week to ten days for the dealer installed accessories i'm going to have them put on. Stripes, clear bra, tint, and a surprise that I'm going to keep to myself for now.

I've had clear bras installed on all three, this will make four, of the MINIs that were bought new. Would not dream of driving around without one.

Worth. Every. Penny.

When I sold my 06 Justa, it was 4 years old. Looked very nearly new. Not a single chip or mark of any kind on the bumper or front of the bonnet. Had one six inches behind the clear bra from a stone that had really bad aim.... or good if it was an evil stone.

Me either. I've had the clear protection package installed on my last three cars and will have it installed on my MINI before I take it home. My trade-in, a 3-year-old GTI, didn't have a single chip or mark in the paint where it was protected, and I know I got the value of the clear protection package back on trade-in value.

You won't be sorry, Zippy.

Make sure you ask for 3M film. There are some cheap and undependable films out there.

This will be my first dealer installed one. Your dealership installing yours? Or do they out-source it?
