Can't wait to join the fun!

I'm waiting to take delivery of my 08 Oxygen Blue MC. I believe its at the VDC. My MA has been not been very enthusiastic about predicting a delivery date to Mini of Annapolis.

I know, I know its uncontrollable at this point. But give me some hope that it will be sooner than later. I'm leaving for vacation on Friday this week and want to take it with me. I'll even delay my plans for a couple of days just to make it happen.

Anyway, looking forward to joining DCMM and to participate in the fun stuff.

Are you sure it made the VDC ?





No wonder the MA is a bit sheepish on your MINI's status

All kidding aside, hope you get your car as planned ! Welcome to the fun

Great color choice !

Gang, sorry for re-using the pics and theme but you remember what it was like being a newbie waiting for your baby

The shipping site WW said that it was discharged and the ship has moved on.

I took that to mean it was at the VDC. Although the OL, website says its in route, and the phone says its waiting for a vessel.

Geeze I hope its not still waiting for a vessel. Although there is a guy in Philly that is getting the same information on the vessel that I am.
We are both supposed to be on the Mignon, EX806-MIG.

Cute pics by the way. I actually live across the Harbor from the WW docks in Baltimore. The Mignon was there yesterday...or at least some WW ship was docked there. thanks

Does the shipping site show that your VIN was on board and off loaded? If so I'd think you're safe in assuming it's at the VDC..

Yep!

The Sales Manager at Mini of Annapolis told me it would only take one day in trucking it from NY to Annapolis. So, thats quick. But the real question/unknown is when will that truck leave NY, and that is all assuming that there was nothing wrong with my MINI in shipping.

He told me that since my MINI was presold it would be in the last group loaded on the ship and the first off.

I can't imagine in this capitalist society that they are holding anything up. Everyone wants their money. The sooner it gets in my hands the sooner Group 1-Mini of Annapolis has a closed sale.

It should all work in my favor (I say as I cross my fingers and toes).

No Window Clings

I wanted to let the new members know that I'm out of window clings. Starting with the packets I'm mailing today, there are no window clings in them. I'm working on getting new ones and once I do, I'll mail them out to you. It seems the vendor we used last time has forgotten how to make clings.

I picked my mini up Friday night. Left Saturday morning for a New England vacation.

We've had a solid two days of bonding so far. Love everything about it so far.

We'll be gone a solid week so I should know everything about it by then.

New member saying hello!!

Hello all,

I have been lurking for a bit, but wanted to introduce myself. I have a liquid yellow/Blk 02 MC. I am actually going to sell it and get a new MC, obsessing on the color now, but planning on ordering it 14th July Mon. MoS is taking 09 orders, but MoA is still taking 08 orders. I think I am gonna wait for the 09 and go with MoS. It is hard to hold off till Oct. and wait for the 09, but I think that will be best in the long run!! But its killing me to have to wait that long. Also, I am a little concerned with any changes from 08 to 09, whether it be $$$ or package offers. Ok, I could babble for hours so I am going to stop now....just wanted to say HI!!

Dell

Cally, get one like the Patridge family bus or Woodstock Festival. That way you get all the colors you want! Now I am confused as to whether or not I am getting an '08 or '09 since MOA is talking late September to October delivery for me--just ordered on the 9th.

I am guessing they would have disclosed to you that it was an 09 or not. What does your paperwork say (if you have any yet)? But thats a good question...I dont know!
