It's on the boat - here's the message...
 

Hey all, just got my latest email today from my dealer....

Hello!
I just wanted to give you an update....First, I have good news and bad
news. The bad news is that after much research by myself, our Sales
Manager and our Part Manager, we were able to confirm through BMW/MINI of
North America that a JCW Kit is not yet approved to be installed on an
automatic transmition.
However, don't get too upset about it, because they are working on it,
and one will be available soon. Now for the good news. Your MINI has
been loaded on to a vessel named the Tagus. It officially left the port
of Southampton 07-05-05 and eta to the US is 6 days from now. I just
wanted to keep you posted on all of the lastest info.
Thanks,

I guess I'll see it in about 2 weeks :smile:

Sweet! So close now! It's awesome how fast the ships skip over the pond in the summer, makes the wait that much shorter. My MINI boat came in yesterday so I've only got a handful of days to go! This is when the "take delivery" jitters really start to set in!
