OK, the day is arriving. After months of waiting, tracking the Jingu Maru, calling MINIUSA and the dealer, tomorrow Isaac and I jump the early morning train for Philly. We're picking up the MCS.

I am sure that you'll all be pleased when I finally get rid of the "Waiting for September" Saturn photo sig...but none more than Jay S, who will no longer see his crotch next to my car every time he logs onto MCO!!!

p.s. Yesterday the Zaino kit arrived; I'm ready!

Hey congrats! I was just wondering if you found out when you could finally pick up the car.

Schlub! (sorry had to get that in before you pick it up and I can't do that anymore. I know I promised but...)

Enjoy and good luck!!!

Thanks, Robyn.

Are you still going braless?

I just got back from Border's--couldn't make the trip without new music!

I don't know, personally, now I kinda like Schlub, I think it has grown on me. Perhaps we should make it Deli's new official nickname!!!!

Well Schlub, you should be on the train by now, so I'll just say CONGRATS, HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT TIME.

Show us lots of nice pics!!!!

Kev & Jenn

That's great news, congratulations :smile:

be sure to post some pics of your new MINI, and maybe make a new sig, although I'll miss the Saturn and Jay's crotch...
...ok maybe not!

Just got back from Philly; have pictures but not digital so that will have to wait a bit.

The trip back was just ok--sat for quite a while on the turnpike. There were several accidents. Life line medivac helicopter, the whole bit. And it was raining. On the positive side, I got to read the manual, play with all the stereo controls, and fully test the auto sensing wipers.

Now I need to figure out to do with all the spare room in my garage. More later; I'm going back out!!!
