So my MINI got to the Pt. Hueneme vehicle distribution center on April 3, and my MA told me that it would be available on April 5. But now it's April 9 and the car still hasn't cleared the VDC.

I was initially prepared to wait a week or two at the VDC, but then my MA got my hopes up and I was looking for a two day turnaround.

It's just brutal waiting for the final few days. Waiting for months was nothing compared to this! I still don't have any ETA on when it will clear the VDC.

 

Been there. I can empathize. But it IS worth the wait... but I thought I was going to DIE waiting...

 

Best of luck with the final wait. It really does get to you once your MINI hits the VDC - I thought my baby would never get to me! I'm sure the long wait will be worth it.

 

Hang in there, Rog!

 

Yes! MA just called and said my MINI will be at dealer tomorrow. Now I just have to decide if I want to drag my wife to spend three hours at the dealer after a long work day or if I want to wait until Saturday morning.... Decisions, decisions!

 

And the decision to be made is.....what again?

No way you'll be able to wait knowing that your new baby is waiting to be taken home.

 

You have to go... NOW.... your car may not forgive you if you leave him\her there any longer they they have to.

 

I was in and out in an hour when I picked up Blimey... good luck!
