MINI dealership at midnight

This is how bad it is. After being told officially that "Smudge" is at the VDC, and knowing that a truck arrived at the dealership today. I walked around the MINI lot, at midnight, on the way home from work, to see if maybe, maybe my baby was there . Of course it wasn't, but how sad is that

I'd have done the same.

Somehow this doesn't seem wrong to me. Actually, I'd probably camp out until it showed up. Cowboy coffee anyone?

It's a small lot, they might get annoyed

It's good you didn't raise the suspition of the local police. that might have harder to explain to them. Looking forward to pics of Smudge-looks like a nice build list!

Not weird at all for future MINI owners, it seems.

I live near the train marshalling yards where the cars are unloaded from their traintrip. After my MA told me the train had arrived in Calgary, my wife and I would go by there everyday and stand beside the fence to see if we could spot our new baby. We eventually would get chased away by the security cops, probably due to the monster lens on my wife's camera. I wouldn't be surprised if my picture is still up in their security office.

I'd be disappointed in you if you hadn't tried to get a sneak peak. If there was any doubt (there wasn't), there isn't now - you are officially a member of the MINI cult.
