If motoring is a drug then I'm an addict (even though I do drive the speed limit due to possible government invervention)!!!

ROFL!!! Lemme tell ya about it.

If the FDA gets its grubby little paws into it, I think I'd go postal.....no,..make that postal-jedi on thier butts! I GOTS TO HAVE MY FIX,..ER....MINI!!!

She is on a boat!! Hope they give her some dramamine for the voyage. She is too young to be tossed about without repercussions!

Wonder how much it would cost to wait in Charlotte for her? Hmmmm.

Ask Charlotte how much she charges. The R56 S is definitely addictive and I have only used the Sport mode twice.

I washed my car with threatening storm clouds and a 100% chance of rain later in the afternoon.

My girlfriend said that maybe it was over between us.

I'm suffering from major withdrawal! Last test drive was a few weeks ago and my arms are shaking...anyone know of a place where I can score some Mini Methadone?

Bah! If they become regulated, then just claim you only motor for medicinal purposes.

No I think then they'll be referred to as dealers.

You can also add heart palpitations and motion sickness! On one of the more twisty sections of highway near me, I actually made myself car sick!

I had that same problem the first day mine was on the ship. MINI's site informed me it was loaded on the boat 2 days after it arrived in NY.

Not using MINIUSA. MINIUSA still shows my car "Scheduled for production". Using the Wallenius site. It could be my car is loaded on another shipping line though. Like "Posiedon's Rollover Shipping".

Or maybe she is taking a relaxing trip via Carnival Cruiselines? I could see her basking in the Sun sipping on Castrol 5W-30W, visiting the auto-spa for a thorough detailing and tuneup, or playing dodgetire with the other Mini's.

Sigh....

That was cruel, msh441!

Skuzzy, mine never did show up on the website. I'm not sure what line she came over on--two ships landed on the same day in Charlotte, and one brought over a bunch of MINIs, but mine wasn't shown as being on that one. And the car's not telling. Probably was a state secret--my license plate has the numbers 007.
