Yippee, Terry! That is great news. Soon enough, your just born MINI will be crossing the pond with great expectations of being united with its owner.

That's a really good sign. My MCS is still showing "awaiting transport," altho the automated voice has been telling me for a week or more that it's "in transit." My MA is pretty sure it's on a ship. I'm thinking I'll have it next week.

Hi Bob,

Well things are moving in the right direction for sure.

Ain't gonna be as long as it has been.

Say since you are a car guy I'll post some Pics. here on my (Thread) I just got back my Bullitt Mustang.

It is dirty in the Pics. that were taken but you can still see the general theme of it.

[SIZE=3]The Pics. below were taken at
Comfort Inn in Warsaw, IN.
We just picked the Bullitt Mustang
up from BRENSPEED.

These are the only Pics. I have of the completed Bullitt Mustang right now.

I know you are excited and I am glad you will be getting your new ride very soon.

Terry. Interesting my car (Canadian) with HK Sound was built on April 4th. By putting my Vin # in the decoder I can see the completed cars specs.


So frankly I don't believe the no components thing. My order speaks for itself.

Hello Greg,

I think it will all work out just fine.

Some will take longer to get built and some will not.

I'm one that will just wait his turn as it is not a Life & Death situation.

We both are looking forward to getting the 2014 MCS for sure but can wait until it arrives at our dealer.


I hope your's gets to you also in a timely manner.

Hi Bob,

I felt safe to post those Pics on this thread for you to check out.

I just drove it over 2,000 miles to what is called the, Mach-1/Bullitt Mustang Texas Shootout.

It is one Bad-*** Machine now.

And also it looks like things are moving right along with our 2014 Blazing Red MCS.

Take Care Buddy,
Terry

Hi Bob,

Yes things are certainly moving in the right direction for sure.

Cathy, will be a very Happy Camper probably in May I'm thinking.

Very nice! I'm not normally a fan of red - but with black roof and bonnet stripes - it's striking. Best of luck and many happy years of motoring!

I appreciate the compliment and I finally got to drive it some today and really like it.

The color combination looks good when seen in person.

It is going to be with the wife and I for many years.
