Hi Owen, thanks for writing into MINI!

Great news! Your Cooper S is completed with its work at the Vehicle Processing
Center and has been released to the trucking company that will transport it to
the dealer. It is estimated to leave the VPC on 1/23/03. Usually it takes the
trucking company 2-3 days to the get vehicle to the dealer. A couple more days
and you will motoring away. Please feel free to stay in contact with us for
further updates this week.

So, How long were you (or at least your car) at the VPC?

It arrived on 1/16 and is leaving 1/23. So, a week total. I would love to see the damage sheet to see what was wrong.
