I'm on otello leaving on the 3rd. There were 14 other mini's on the same booking as me. Should get to ga on 18 th. You can go to the ww shipping site to check the boat info your self.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure our MINI's are not on the same boat since I'm based in CA and the Otello isn't going to be making a stop over here. Too bad. I'll just have to keep on waiting. But congrats on yours! I'm excited for you.

Can't wait to see the color, it looks really nice on the website. Sort of reminds me of Space Blue...

My car made it to Brunswick on the 18th. Now the question is with the slow down in car sales how long will it take to get processed at the VPC and shipped.

Very nice 1500 miles in less that a month. My wifes clubman is less that 5 months old and we have a little over 9000 miles on it. I wonder if the MINI speedo is a little off showing more miles that actual.

My MCCS HB is on the Topeka arriving at the NY/NJ port on 3/23 (Monday). By the time they transport it and the dealership does their thing, if I am lucky, I will have it next Saturday (7 days and counting !)

Looks Fantastic! I am really liking this color! I can't wait to stop by the dealer to see if they have one in stock.

Can't wait to see them. I thinks that makes you the #3 member. I started a list on the first page.

minicoopermike, looks like the same one I want to order! I need to see what my 08 tax hit is first, and let the market recover some more too... trying to stay debt free.

Traded in my '06 MC last month and picked up my new '09 MINI Clubman Horizon Blue last Friday, 4/3/09! No picts yet, but it's a wicked color for sure. Thrilled at its sophistication and presence. I'll post photos of Zazu soon.....

VERY nice. As you say....very sophisticated looking. You have the exact same color combo as our "JustaCooper" which is now sitting on the docks at Southampton.

Thanks! Be prepared for everyone, and I mean everyone, to go out of their way to say "I REALLY like that bodypaint!"

I'm glad I took a chance. All I saw was a color swatch in the dealership. Never got to see one in person until I took delivery of my own MCC. She's a beauty, for sure. Congrats on yours too!

SaltNPepa, we were on the same boat and I picked up mine 8 days later than you! Whew, but at least it all turned out okay and we're all motoring.

Pic from pick-up day:


I'm really happy with the color (and the rest of the car of course) and the people at my dealership told thought it looked really good as well. Now if only I could get the car as clean as it was when I first picked it up I'd have a lot more pictures!
