Farewell California Highway, thanks for bring our new toys. She's headed back to sea as we speak to pick up another load :-)

Heard from our MA about 30 minutes ago. Our cars are still sitting waiting to be put on a truck. He said we will not get them today but we could possibly get them tomorrow but we should not plan on it. Sardian might actually get his before we do. I knew you guys were going to jinx me. ;-) It looks like all we can do now is sit back and wait.

These last few days have been the worst part of the whole process. Our cars are like 4 hours from us. Let's say a little prayer for arrival tomorrow.

Prayers are good. Ive said lots about having our MINIs in on Thursday. If it comes in im going to go see it and take it for a test run to make sure everything's in working order. Plus, once I see it i'll be able to relax and make it through the rest of the weekend! haha

Why don't you guys drive down and pick it up at the VDC? I'm pretty sure that's an option. If I lived 4 hrs away I would.

PopATL,

Where did you buy your mud flaps from? I usually get my MINI accessories from Prestige MINI eBay store. My MA told me they would only install the front flaps on the S and I want to install on all wheels.

(jumping in here) I got my front and rear mudflaps from the dealer, used the excellent installation info here to install, it was pretty easy - my dealership would have installed them for one hour/wheel or over $700! Look on the Countryman forums for all the info you need.

Trust me if I could I sure would, but my MA said customers can't go down to the VDC and pick their cars up. It has to do something with the strict regulations. They won't just release the car to the customer.

MA says my car has been released to trucking company. I am hoping to get it today but realize that is unlikely. Looks like we are back in the race against Sartain!

I sure will. My MA still thinks I'm crazy. I drive by the dealership everyday while I'm working, so today I see a white one and stop and check the vin and its mine. While I'm looking in the window of the car my MA sends me an email "Call me, good news". I told him to look out the window :-) He thinks I'm a spy.
