just checked....the Trianon has been pushed back 2 days, scheduled now to land at port Hueneme on 12-17 (Tuesday) instead of 12-15 (Saturday). That might blow out a pre-XMAS delivery...dang

>Trianon has been pushed back 2 days
Ahh, phooey! Sorry to hear that. Do you think this pushing back stuff that seems to affect us mostly on the west coast is still due to the port slowdown? And if so, WHEN will they ever catch up???
Cheers,
Leslie

My HARMINI will be here sooner than I thought!!! She just hitched a ride on the Don Juan and after a brief stop in Canada, she'll be heading straight for NY and is due to arrive December 3rd. Crossing fingers that she'll get here by my birthday (Dec 10th). I can hardly breathe........
Who else is on the Don Juan?
Are you MandyinMD? I see the Don Juan is going to Baltimore right after NY. Bet they are going there to deliver one sweet Silk Green Cooper to YOU! You can always add the chrome bumpers later.

I'm there on the Don Juan with you Harmini!!! I'm sure our babies are having one hell of a time on their cruise!!! Scheduled to arrive in Baltimore Dec. 5th. Even sooner than expected. I originally thought it would be a birthday present (1/16) but was excited to hear my production date was one month earlier than I thought it would be. Guess it will be a Christmas present instead. YAY!!!!

Excellent Sacman! Glad to have a birthday buddy in the Dec. club. And your MCS is in my favorite color combo, DS/B. So classy AND sporty.

That's so cool! We've got Dec. 8th. 9th. and 10th birthdays in the "Can't wait for December" club.
I ordered my clear tail lights and chrome/clear side marker kit today. Now that I know HARMINI is on the way, I finally gave in and let myself buy SOMETHING.

I had the same thing happen. then, either the next day or the day after that, it changed. I hope that you didn't get left behind! I've got my fingers crossed that it didn't.

I was supposed to be on the Haul Trition and was suddenly bumped off and placed on the Don Juan. So I say no biggy, another week later, NO PROB. but today I see all the red and freak out. Is it true? Has my poor MINI been bumped off again? :evil:

Congrats to HARMINI, cgehring, billyg, Momentum a nd MiniCookie. You all can breathe easy for a while now knowing that your babies are on their way!
I think I just missed the Don Juan. As of Friday my MINI was still awaiting transport to the docks. Looks like I'll have to hitch the next ride whenever that may be. You all better send Don right back for me when you reach US soil safely!

Can I join this club :smile:
I have just changed my order, so now my Cooper comes in December!!!!!!
I've now got an IB with White roof 'n' stripes.
One problem, this order is now affecting my health. It has turned me into an insomniac - I can't stop thinking about the day when I will become the proud father on a new Cooper.
Got to go, I have some dreaming to do if I can get to sleep
