A few short bits of video showing a few Minis on their way to the lot and processing Do a "Save Target As" on these links and you should be able to download and view these.

We had lots of "Mini Envy" as you see quite a few of them in Charleston. Definitely happy to be home and back to driving our own!

That is so cool. I spotted a silver cabrio right at the very end of your first movie clip. Who knows, could've been mine. Thanks for the Courage "spy shots" definitely keeping them for my MINI scrapbook.

Our 05 S came through Charleston as well and I remember thinking how cool it would have been to have some shots of the ship ours came in on, just to have. One more thing some people will just think is weird! hehe.

OK, so I'm a Week 49 guy who has been lurking for a while. I ordered my car the Saturday after Thanksgiving and picked it up yesterday. Chili red/white MCS, space gray cloth, LSD, multi-function wheel, and center arm rest. It will be a daily driver / autocrosser.
Thanks everyone for the great info on tracking the build and transport of the car.

Did your dealer have one already coming in that was unspoken for?

BTW, Happy birthday!
Edit: I picked mine up from MoritzMINI in Arlington, TX. Totally recommend buying from Chris Lord as he raised the bar on making this an excellent no pressure buying experience, and it was just a bonus that he threw in some goodies for making me wait so long.
