Calm down Rat! Here's the deal:

Wastik is riding the Undine, which left Southampton March 1st, going to Cali

The Medea, also going to Cali, leaves Southampton docks March 10th with Asodestrom and JeremyPo (so far!)

*also; doing interior configurations is a bad deal, my Configurator is European only, meaning very few people's interiors will be correct Sucks for now, unless I get get ahold of an american configurator?

Cheers,
Ryan

OOh, British Racing Green in the house

Big news from the editor's room: I've added sample Interiors to the CWFAC page !!!

The page has a bit-o-disclaimer. I don't have everyone's interior data (colors, trims, toenail clippings, etc.) The Euro-spec Configurator doesn't do the U.S Nav system, or the MPH speedometer, or the H/K speaker bezels, or have controllable door trims.....(you get the point, it sux for us!)

Enjoy the representations anyway
Cheers,
Ryan

BRGMini - I'm psyched you went to 152. Since my VIN is a few ahead of yours I should be there too. I'll call tomorrow. I called this morning and they told me 150. If BOZO (the red MCS) is going to be motoring to the docks by Friday, they need to start with the red paint now. If you aren't finished friday, I bet you'll be finished Saturday.

This is you Rocket:
182 – Released to Carrier (aka where’s the boat?)
Rocketpop, MCS, DS/W, (TD66477), slated for Carmen, sailing 03/14

You're in the same holding pattern as Littlecajun, you two need to become "moving buddies" It's not available in the US, mostly cuz we suck, but also because Katie wants the wood trim really bad!

Cheers,
Ryan

My own opinion of course, but that green leather/wood/Ipaq/cellphone interior is pretty butt ugly. Maybe it's not offered in the US because we have taste.

In the old Mini you could get an actual wood dash, and supposedly it was very popular. Somehow it doesn't work so well, IMO, with the new MINI.

I'm not sure I would go as far as saying we have Taste, Hfranks!
