Is that your INGOLSTADT in Norfolk? I can't see other ships but somehow this one stands out.

Ooh I think it is! It has a scheduled stop in Baltimore before going to Charleston. Where did you see that by the way?

It updates fairly quick, now it shows only INGOLSTADT
On the downside, I lost track of Don Pasquale.

Is a rear sway bar needed when I have the JCW package, or does the JCW suspension do enough? oh yea,,,,, where is my Betty?

Shrooms

I have been following a few threads on the mushroom effect with Mini's lowered on 18's. M7 has a few products to help prevent the damage.
I am wondering why the JCW Mini does not have additional support if this is a true weakness in the car.
Are people beating the s*** out of their mini's or what?!

I'm not 100% sure on this one...but I don't think the sway bar is any different on the Works cars...in which case, one would help for sure.

I hadn't looked at Owners Lounge order tracking in a while, but today it says under Review Order Detail "Estimated Delivery Date: 2/28/2006." Yay! The Ingolstadt should port in Charleston tomorrow and hopefully Toby'll get through the VPC with haste to meet that date. I might still beat the $500 increase *knock on wood*

Lost S

I have been trying to get an update on my S since they unloaded it in Halifax. No luck.
The MA can't tell if it still sits on the port or if it has been loaded on a rail car. A few days and I should have a more solid delivery date.
Til then, prep the garage.

You will, I have no doubt about that.

Let's see, I browse through our thread (good thing it's not ridiculously long), and got,
  • saakey (MCS/B/S) - 2/23
  • docjohnboy (MCa/BRG/S) - 2/28
  • camtek (?) - early March
  • mini pony (MCSC/orange) - March
  • hong (MCSa/PH/W) - 3/5 (hopefully)
  • patgoeglein (MCSJCW/BRG) - 3/7
  • daemon2 (MCS) - mid March
It's about time

I thought I posted this some time ago. My first post I think, could've put it in the wrong place.

Isn't the price put on the car when it gets into port? So all cars arriving in the USA before March don't have the $500?
