Tomorrow.....

I just got an email from my Motoring Advisor... My MINI is at MINI of Sterling, ready for me to pick up tomorrow!

I can't believe it! The Owner's Lounge put my car arriving at the dealership this Thursday!

I might faint.

Just wanted to share the joy!

Exactly, Edge.

Thank you all so much for the well-wishing! My boss is nice enough to give me the afternoon off tomorrow, so it looks like all things are a go...

I'm so excited!

Only the afternoon???
Getting your MINI should be treated like a National Holiday.
Look him straight in the eye and tell him "I'll be back when the smile disapears from my face (or Thursday morning - whichever comes first)".
If he takes offense to that - promise him the first ride if he lets you take a day off.

Happy Motoring!

Congrats, 05MCSa! How nice of your boss to give you some time off! Try to sleep tonight (hah!), be sure to take pix, and TRY to listen to your MA as you are given the tour of your new MINI!

Happy motoring!

Hope it doesn't rain!

Just call in sick for the morning. Sick with JOY!

That's great news. Mi MCSa is in the middle of the Atlantic right now on it's way to MINI of Sterling. Hopefully I'll be a week behind you!

Wow, great news for Nugget's travelmate!

Good news, bad news for me. Nugget is ready today, but because of some critical meetings I was unable to drive down and pick him up till Wednesday. That's the bad news. The good news is my boss knows how excited I am and told me "Go pick up your Mini. See you on Friday!" Two whole days off to get acquainted!

Pete

Thanks again, for all the well-wishing! Yeah, my boss is pretty cool letting me take a half day when we're close to opening a new restaurant in the hotel. I have to report back in later tonight to check the progress, but I'll be so euphoric from FINALLY driving MY MINI, it'll be all good.

I leave for the dealership in about an hour...

The sun is shining, and weather.com puts the temperature right now at 67 Degrees. What a day to pick up a MINI!
