AerroJammin: Looks great! We went back and forth over Cabrio or Hard Top...Being that we are in Chicago and it's our only car we went with the hard top! Maybe MINI 2 will be a Cabrio?!?!?!

PS - Don't you just LOVE the chrome lined int.! One of my favorite parts!

Bosevii501 & aerojammin,

Great looking cars, thanks for sharing with us. The chrome interior is rich looking and sets the interior apart from others.

Happy Motoring

Wait until you see it under the ambience lighting. It's like a jewelry store.

I still want to post a pic of it, it's just that you have to take it either very early in the morning or at dusk to see it and the interior at the same time.

No MINI yet tho... I'll have to rent a car till Friday.. now I really need it by Sat!!

I didnt think I would be sad to see the ol' honda go... but now that it's actually going, I'm sad!! That car has taken me lots of places and has been through a lot of life moments with me... I'm sure the sadness will subside when I get the MINI but for now, I feel guilty! Especially since it's still in good condition... alright enough mushy stuff
I feel the same way. I also had to sell my Civic. As much as I was ready for my MINI I was kinda bummed. My wife and I had our 1st date in that car.

By the way, we were on the same boat too! Can't Wait!!! :impatient

the Integrity JUST left Baltimore... it was scheduled to leave today, but it was just sitting there not leaving, despite me sitting here willing it to "disembark" (if that's the right seafaring term).

It's due in Charleston on Sat. the 21st, where hopefully Grover will be quickly checked and spruced after a long, long, journey. I'm hoping he's here before/by Halloween.

namvet66... here's hoping this week brings you better motoring news. my car got to Charleston yesterday, so i'll be keeping everyone informed of progress, but yours is definitely taking too long... they are only supposed to be 3-4 days in VDC and 3-4 days transit to Tennessee... so I would think Louisiana would be similar.

----
rachaelstarr... not that it helps, but it seems like the West Coast VDC takes a lot longer to clear than the Charleston one (with the exception of problems like namvet is experiencing.) I'm reading other Prod.Week threads and people in Cali. seem to be waiting a long time. My only guess is that the West Coast must see more cars coming through the VDC. They must be jammed. hopefully you'll get some good news this week, now that your dot has moved!

----
anyone in PW 38 that has taken delivery have any inspiring motoring photos for us still waiting?
