@Galandel Yea, i feel i was a week behind you. did notice my shipping dates were delayed a few days at VPC. love how most of us got the blackout done too! your baby is looking great!

Update on my Clyde. He has arrived today at the dealership!!! Getting the clearbra and prep done and hope to pick up on Sat!!! I plan on putting on a solid 100miles on sat.. will be disabling ASD right away and will also keep an eye on Sport mode exhaust (may hold off on putting in sport until 50miles).. updated timeline:

recap of timeline:
Aug 30th - ordered
Sept 14th - production started
Sept 24th - production completed
Oct 2nd - at port in UK
Oct 18th - hopefully at port in USA in Baltimore
Oct 30th - at MINI Dealership
Nov 2? - hopefully received!!!!!

 

actually.. i may have my Clyde tomorrow!!!! OMG!!!!! i bet i put on the most miles the fastest!! planning to get about 200-300 miles over the weekend, will keep an eye on exhaust in sport mode after i hit 100 miles (prob will leave in normal, drive in manual mode so i can control rpms and use engine braking to help set the seals!!)

doubt i'll sleep much tonight.. :P

 

Hehe, yeah, you already passed me. Mine is sitting in the garage with 99 miles on it. My 2012 SVT Raptor had 9200 miles on it I traded in and my 2013 Abarth is in the garage with 3400 miles on it, so I won't be taking any bets on putting miles on in a hurry. I will take mine for a drive tomorrow though to meet a friend for lunch.
