Web site says estimated delivery date is today - delivered to who?

Hi everyone!

The owner's lounge says my MINI is at the Vehicle Distribution Center. It also says the estimated delivery date is today. They actually moved the estimated delivery date up - on Thursday it said Sunday (4/10/05) but late Friday it said today, Saturday 4/9/05.

What does this mean? Is my MINI going to show up at the dealer today? I have a call into my Motoring Advisor but haven't heard back from him - and there's a fine line between enthusiasm and stalking!

What an awful wait ! Its porbably at some truck stop on a big rig with the driver wondering how he is going to pay for his fuel with today's fuel prices . Good luck hope you get your Mini home soon.

I would wait at least 30 to 45 min before calling back . Did you leave him/her a voice mail for a message with a reall person. I would call back right now and just say "didn't know if you got my message or not but I wanted to find out about my MINI. I know the MAs must be use to people wanting their MINIs.

Sweet man...congrats...so you got the auto with the paddles? Let us know how you like that. I'm sure you're out motoring right now with a huge smile on your face. On a Saturday too, no better time. Congrats again, glad she came in

Dave.
