I don't know if my MA will be in today, I just hope that the website status is correct. I don't see taking delivery until later this week due to the dealer having to check the car over and install an Ipod adapter. This is all assuming that it is at the VDC and is scheduled to be delivered either today or in the next few days!

I'm sure it's really close now though. How exciting. Maybe you'll have it by midweek!

I can only hope! I don't want to get my expectations up too high though. After all you know how long it can take for dealers to get up to speed on things.:impatient

Wow!

WOWWW!!!

Take just a few days off 'the group' and MINI's are a-flyin' ashore!

Envy is one of the 7 deadly sins so I'll just humbly be happy for all those receiving their babies in the past few days in the next few to come.

No news on my end....still due at the VDC July 9 (Sun?)

Keep the pictures coming...this is all too COOL

Thanks for the great song miniprof! I'm taking a short break from motoring, so stopped by the house for a few. Of course when I tried to take pics, my digital camera was dead, so its currently charging.

And I don't have to call it "the MINI" anymore. His name is Tanner.

Hyperkid, Tanner (LOVE his name!!) is a great lookin' car!

So do you think you'll be able to sleep tonite, or now that you have him will you just spend the next few nights MINI-gazing instead?

Hope we'll be hearing from Jayne sometime later tda too... Jaaa-aaayne... are you out there motoring?

Oooh I'm so jealous that some of you have your cars already! I have no clue what ship my car left on. My MA at MINI of Murray could only tell me that it left on the 19, apparently, and should be at Port Hueneme on the 9th. That's tomorrow! Hope I can go pick it up soon! :D

Well, I talked to MA in Denver yesterday to let him know I've made my one-way flight plans for August 9th and plan on going straight to the dealership from the airport for pick up! He said Wednesdays are his day off so I won't be able to meet him, but he says 'Don't worry, we'll still take good care of you!'

He also checked his computer and said my ship is coming in the 9th or 10th to Port Hueneme! FINALLY! Although now it's a little anti-climactic since I know I won't pick Scootr up til 8/9. BUT still really great news!

And here's my funny little story for the day... Yesterday on the way home from work in my Highlander (auto trans) there was the inevitible screech to a halt during rush hour, and I was shocked and amused to find that my LEFT foot had come up then travelled all the way to the floor by the time I came to a stop, without me even thinking about it! (guess driving a standard trans IS kind of like falling off a bike) i just busted out laughing right there! When I told my hubby about it he just rolled his eyes :impatient and said he guesses I really am about ready for my MINI!

YAY Jayne! I'm so glad Gypsy is home and that you're enjoying her as much as you thought you would. Can't wait for pics tomorrow!

Coopersmini - hang in there! August will arrive before you know it, and what a fabulous first motoring event you'll have!

Thanks Jayne! Can't wait to see Gypsy!

I hope to enjoy Tanner tomorrow. The rain today dampened things, no pun intended.

Hello all,

Tanner, great looking car and what a name! Was it inspired by the convertible top and all that sunshine in your state? My boys have named mine Nigel. It was either that or Tom Tom.

Congrats to you Jayne - your long awaited Gypsy has come home. Now the fun really begins.
