"...and I'm spent!" (for now, mwuaah ha ha!),

>>ME FIRST, ME FIRST!!!!!!!

nono... LADIES first!

oh, wait.. dang.

I'm definitely not one of those critters... I break out in hives if anyone ever tries to accuse me of being one.

I've been bad. I bought stripes from cooperflags... if my mini doesn't get here soon I'm going to have to break down and put them on the horses. Or the ferrets.

*twitch*

Surely there's room for all of us on the boat! Just kick a few of the other, lesser cars off... yesss....

 

push off the beatles, they float, And the French cars, they aren't even sure they want to be there!

 

don't push the french cars off. Every time the French get in troble we have to save their A**. and my little red dosn't have his water wings on.

Rachel, if you do that, I'm going to have to insist that you post pics!!!!!(Besides makeing us laugh, it will serve as valid proof of your insanity that would easily hold up in a court of law)

 

>>push off the beatles, they float, And the French cars, they aren't even sure they want to be there! :smile:

 

>>P.S. There's gonna be plenty of room for all of us on the Carmen, for sure! :smile:
That's it Ryan, positive thoughts. I'm hoping they update the waitlist tomorrow. Since the boat has sailed from Germany to Southhampton, they should now know how many slots they have available.

As for the French cars, I think we don't import them any more. They couldn't decide whether they wanted to run, so no one bought them.

...how times have changed...
I would like to see Peugot's lineup here in the states, as well as Renault's Clio; that's a hot little car

absolutly nothing beats the cheekiness of our MINI's though

Cheers,
Ryan

 

WooHooo....we're finally off to sea!! Asodestrom and Miniclo, it's great to be shipmates w/ you guys!! Hope my S doesn't get sea sick and barf all his coolant out...hahahhaa...peace!!

Cheers,
Ryan

Welcome to the April Club.

You can call ASKMINI at 866 275 6464. Tell them your production number and they will tell you what status your mini is.

Have fun.

Andy

ps. great color choice

Sailing on the MEDEA Due in CA April Fools Day! :smile:

 

Sorry guy's I think I am 1st in line to board the ship I have been completed since the 3rd This is taking forever

 

Just remember Rat, you are supposed to save me a space by the bar. I'm currently waitlisted. I'll be really bummed if I don't make it on the Carmen. The Carmen holds 5,234 cars. There are currently almost 600 booked or waitlisted on the Carmen. They have been adding to the waitlist every day. Surely they wouldn't keep adding to the waitlist if they didn't think they would have space. The cars are mini's, maybe 600 mini's takes up as much space as 450 7 series BMWs. Let's all squeeze in close so I can get on the boat.

okay! I'll have to round the horses up once I get the stripes... I'm sure they'll LOVE that. The horses, that is.. I'm not sure that the stripes have much of an opinion.

My poor horses. The ways I've thought of to torture them over the years...

Ferrets, too, just beg for that sort of thing... they're just so ridiculously serious ALL of the time. The most perfect name for a group of ferrets: a business.

 

Ryephile:

If our MINIs get frightened and come rolling off the the Jingu Maru, would they be scared shipless? :smile:

 

Ryan - I guess you missed my update post yesterday.

Update. Apparently my car never reached the VPC like I was originally told. Reached port in CA on Monday and as of Thursday p.m. it's still sitting at the port. Hasn't even made it to the VPC. Some sort of delay is holding up all of the cars at the port. SWEET. I was cranky already. These delays SUCK. Can't wait to see what my luck will be once it finally makes it over to the VPC???
