The dealer called me today to let me know my car is here and the iPod adapter is already installed. I got the paperwork started with the bank and will be driving the car home tomorrow. I'll post pics of the 2 Minis in the garage for your enjoyment.

My bank screwed me over and didn't ask the dealer to refax the purchase agreement. I'm on my way to the dealer to either get the loan with Mini or walk out with a hand held purchase agreement that I can take to the bank tomorrow morning.


Edit: I managed to get a smile on my face, I guess I can wait until tomorrow. Here's the pic of it at the dealer. I did have to be presistent about getting the purchase agreement. They were really busy today but still bugs. Anyways, the girl at the bank is working at a branch right by my house tomorrow so I'm headed there at 9am tomorrow.

Hey Queen-

Earlier this week I was told by My M.A. that my car was scheduled to be delivered to Neillo on April 1st. but that date was just an estimate. I don't have an update but our cars may be traveling together.

Daisy's on a train from NY to CA. She left the dealership on 3/17 but won't be here until 4/11. I'm really pissed that it's taking so long, but there's nothing I can do except wait. I may very well be the last February build to take actual delivery of my car.

Congrats to all who have their babies home!

I've got my MINI home safe and sound! :smile:
960 miles of pure excitement from San Antonio to Phoenix this last weekend with no issues. The only bad part was all the bugs! We literally ran through 3 swarms of bees, and it made for an interesting & "sweet" drive. :smile:
I attached some before and after pics.

Thanks again to everyone on this thread for helping me through the waiting period. And best wishes to all those who have and are going to get their MINI!
