Multi-Function Steering Wheel Options?

I have a 2005 MCS in Production. I am getting the multi-function steering wheel, and wanted a S-sport 2 spoke wheel, not the three spoke wheel. Can we still get the 2-spoke steering wheel?

I'm almost (almost!) as excited about your car as I am about mine... Watching for your car has become a surrogate since its a similar spec...... and I'll be able to get a first hand view and opinion of purple haze!!!

I will be in Anchorage for work... but believe me, I'm searching for a high speed internet hookup to see if you posted any photos!!

Spoke to my MA will definately drive the car by the 9th, hoping for this weekend.

Hopefully ASK MINI will have some additional information on the car by this afternoon. Maybe even an estimated delivery date to the dealer.

Baron's

Hi - new poster here. I also ordered MCS/05 from Baron's back in March. The SM is a *#ck - tried to tell me my car was still 'on the water' when I knew it had docked (Patriot in SC). His story was, what I was looking at (he thought MINI OL) was not in real time - I finally shut him up by saying it so happens the Coast Guard is. Anyway - My EDD is 8/3 and haven't heard any more.

Yahoo!!!!! I just checked the OL and to my surprise, my status has changed to "awaiting transport" :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: .... so, does that mean, I'm on my way to a ship? for all those that are in the know, how do I check which ship it gets on? I can't wait.....

Well, I'm back to civilization after two weeks of vacation. Lots happening here! Looks like many of you will be motoring soon - you lucky things, you!

All I know is our baby left Southampton 7/25 and will arrive Oxnard 8/18. How do you find out what ship you're on??? AskMini didn't know and neither does our MA - only the expected arrival date. Would love to track through the canal. Anyway, if all goes well we should take delivery by the first of September.

Counting the days...

With your VIN # from the OL site, go to http://213.31.205.37/GLWebApps.AppTracking and "track cargo by auto." Make sure you don't leave a space at the end of the #'s if you copy/pasted.

And here too http://www.2wglobal.com/www/customer...LaunchPage.htm

Thanks, danbanger. That's where I have been checking and there has never been any record of my VIN (cargo ID #). I've also looked at WW's schedule and can't find a ship that matches the dates I was told by Mini. Must be on another carrier but I don't know which one or how to locate it .

Any other ideas?
