G'mornin everyone...

Just a warning to those an the jingamabaloo (and other ships) or whatever it is... don't get too consumed in the Estimated Delivery Dates as the KEY WORD is "estimated" My original EDD was march 1, but I have yet to set eyes on winnie. The date is often updated around the time it leaves the VPC/VDC. Last night mine was updated to 3/9, which probably will still be off.

I'm pretty sure mine left on a truck yesterday morning, so it's quite possible that it's at the dealer today. In fact ,I'm going to drive over there to see if I can spot her anywhere. I'll let you know if I find her!

I'm leaving out of town later today for the weekend, so I should have a HUGE update upon my return. i'll keep everyone posted.

Have a great weekend Ryan, and send us pics of your new MINI next week!

Cheers,
Ryan

 

Ok, I was a litte dissapointed with that picture of the Jingu Maru, so I took it in to photoshop today, did a little tweaking, strictly for clarity purposes, and low and behold, you can see our mini's on there!


P.S. Ryan, nobody can seem to figure out the Undine's call letters are, so I can't tell if it is even reporting it's location. I have been trying to get whatever boats I can on the map(even the ones that are already here, but they haven't been reporting), hopefully after the Medea and the Carmen leave S.H. they'll start reporting. Also the other point is the panama canal(I think) which I put in there just to make the map more spread out and easier to read.

 

Great pic,Katie :smile:

>>Great pic,Katie :smile:

>>Lois

You are welcome in any club I am in Lois you fellow Girly car lover you

 

That's great Katie! It looks like the red and silver one are hitting it off pretty good. Do you think we will see mini MINIs? How about that rambunctious, dark silver one on the roof? it will be a pistol to drive, I'm quite sure

Regards

 

Lois, you can hang with us and chat all you like, no problem! How about posting a few pics of your "Louie" for us, I'd love to see what your Kaleido Red looks like


I plan to take some pics this weekend with the digital camera. The interior looks great! Thanks for letting me in the club :smile: :smile: :smile:
Lois

 

haha, that picture is awesome, katie! i have photoshop but haven't really played with it much to know how to do anything really cool...

anyway, i'm posting cuz my dealer (car one, not drug one) just called me and said that winnie did in fact arrive last night, and we scheduled pick up tomorrow at 9am. Couldn't get it tonight cuz Checkered Flag got a big shipment of BMWs and they have to go through the same process as the MINI. but i bet they weren't special ordered, so mine should have priority. oh well..

anyway, im definitely going to spy on winnie now to catch a glimpse.. will report back, not going out of town til 3ish.

woooooo,

ryan

Can't you almost hear the DS one yelling out "I'm King of the World"!

 

Katie,

Great picture. I hope you can do the same with a picture of the Carmen. Just make sure to place my CR/W MCS next to Rat's (he's supposed to be saving me a spot by the bar). I believe the bar is on the pool deck.

 

Very Well done Katie...my applause for you!

Bryan

 

I'm En Route too!
Can't wait for a few weeks to roll by!

 

Acording to Miniusa, my DS/B w/sunroof is awaiting transport. Will be transported on the Carmen. Waiting further infor from Miniusa.

 

Just an update for everyone. Look quickly! The Jingu Maru is on there...but might not be for long! (if things go like yesterday!)

Bryan

 

well, i wandered around a sea of audis, jaguars, porsche's, bmws, but didn't find winnie. she was probably in one of the garages getting checked out. today's rainy and cold out, but come tomrrow when i pick her up at 10am, it should be sunny and near 60, and sunday 65! will be great motoring weather. will hopefully post pics by monday evening upon my return...

see you guys then!

ryan

 

Have a great time Ryan! and enjoy the motoring. We are all jealous right now. Still waiting for our ships to arrive!

Bryan

 

And yet another Map....

this one includes the Don Q. which left for the west coast a day after the Undine, before the Jingu. So Wastik, try to imagine another red dot infront of the 1st red dot, and that's you!

 

AskMini reports "Delores" is complete!

Called my MA who said I should ne motoring 4 April which is also my birthday.
:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

I am rooting for the rest of you 3/14'ers to sail on the Carmen.

 

Also I verified the cars ahead of me:

MINIclo is booked on the Medea

PJ is booked on the Carmen - Please leave me a little room.

 

jingu maru folks: our babies are out in the middle of nowhere, with only each other's company and dreams of us to keep them warm.

but they'll be here soon! oh i hope i'm not the only one that's losing just the tiniest bit of sleep over this patience thing.

how are you folks coping?

 

Just another post to build this hyper-active thread and point out that not only have we passed the CWFMC in 'Replies' earlier this week, but we are on the brink of passing them in 'Views'. We must be more entertaining.

 

I think it's all the girly car talk

 

Katie! What a great picture of the all the MINIs on the deck of the ship! :smile:

Really made my day!
