As a trivia bit, my MCS didn't waste anytime once it arrived on the Isolde on 8/20. It's already at Mini of Peabody... makes me think they probably didn't do a whole lot at the VPC.

Congrats on a short VPC (Vehicle Prison Center) stay
Be sure to post pics of your '05 once you take delivery!

Cheers,

Congrats on the new MINI, and good choice of MOP! Will you be picking up this weekend?
Mine sat at the VPC for almost a week. There's a lot of factors, and sometimes they just sit a few days waiting for a truck. You just got lucky.

 

My car was on the Isolde, which, as it turns out, docked one day late, on the 20th. It is already at MOTH on the 26th. Thats a pretty quick turnaround. I guess whatever problems they were having at the VPC have been solved. Now to see if I have the old or new cupholder.

 

Tder,
Welcome to NAM, your MCS must have found a shortcut to the dealer. My MCS took a little longer.
