Still holding up there Bill?? What did Marcel give you for an est. delivery date? can't remember how long it took mine to get into Van from the Halifax port. But then it goes through a series of events after that. I'd probably guess another 2 weeks or so. I think it was almost a week from the port. And then, by the time it's ready after that, it's about another week. Hang in there bud. How's the snow over there?
Cheers,

Hang in there billyg. I'm in the same boat :smile: as my MINI shared the ride across the pond with your MINI. It looks like you're the only one here on MCO that was on the Don Juan. Do you think the ship made a special drop-off in Halifax JUST for you?? Funny to think of this big ship docking in Halifax just to drop off one teeny MINI.

Um...................Bill? Buddy? Couldn't help but notice something in your last post there. The last comment you made was to ask how it's going with my man. I'm guessing you meant to say "How's it going with YOU, man?" (???) At least I hope so. And just to clarify to everyone listening, no............I am NOT gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that (Seinfeld reference there). I've been happy coupled to my girl now for sometime. Thought I'd better say something before rumours spread.
Anywho, thing are great. Not even a slight hint of snow in the valley yet. Not even on the slopes. Marcel say anything about a pre-Christmas delivery of your MCS? Sell the Nissan?
Take care dude. You're almost there.
Cheers,

No harm done man. Water off a duck's back. That woulda sucked if some male MINI owner on this forum started coming onto me though. I realize there may be a common interest (MINI's) but I don't play on that team. Just one little letter too many went from asking how I'm doing, to making me gay. Don't worry about it Bill. All is good.
Cheers,

Well, you got out of Vancouver just in time. They're in for another big dumping of snow tonight. Looks like they're predicting a storm of the size a few years back in '96 that shut down all highways and reaked havoc everywhere. So, it's coming. But don't cheer it on too hard there, eh. It just might happen. I can do without it. There's enough for skiing and snowmobiling now. Don't really need it on the roads.
But good thing you didn't wait any longer to get your car.

There's enough stray cats around Vancouver. Collect a bunch and harness 'em up.

But I wonder. Just how many cats would it take to pull a MINI?
