Well, sounds like acitydweller is going to be buying the first round of drinks. I'll be happy to send you an address for where to send mine. (This web socializing does have some drawbacks . . . .)

Congratulations.

Congratulations Citydweller!!!!!

Won't expect to hear from you for a few hours anyway....
I'm guessing that driving your MINI is going to be a tad bit
more exiting than talking about it on this thread!

Have a super week!

Sir Mini

Thanks all for the support.

My mini came with 11 miles on the odometer. Everything checked out fine and my wife was impressed with our anniversary gift so all is well. I kept the rpms under 3000 and cruised around 50 mph home.

The dealer spent 30 minutes going over the car with us. The car came with floor mats and my wife and sister both got MINI tshirts. Prestige MINI took good care of us.

photos as promised:

Isolde

Isolde is on its way to the Panama Canal. Still on schedule to hit Port Huemene on July 11, 2006. The wait is a killer

ShafTT,
Yes, the Pepper looks good, especially with all the black details! Amazing how the colors of these cars alters their personalities. Don't think I've ever noticed this in another make/model. Have fun!

What boat did you come in on and when did it arrive?

Acitydweller, you were on the Manon and it came in on 29JUN06 into Charleston; but I assume you were unloaded at NY (25JUN06?)or Baltimore (27JUN06?), yes?

You came in to the NJ Distribution Center, yes?

Where is your dealership in relation to the Distribution Center?

I'm trying to get an idea of the VDC time (which looks pretty short for you--suggesting no "campaigns" to upgrade for any of us ) and the trucking time from VDC to dealership (assume that this can be very short).

Thanks,
Odas
