FINALLY MY CARS HAVE SHIPPED!!!!!! HOORAY!
(Now I can stop my bitchin'!)

 

Oh and by the way....miniusa was wrong.....the boat is due in the US on Sunday.....they told me that they weren't even booked yet! Oh I am so relieved.

 

congrats hope you get it soon :smile:

 

I just got the call from my Dealer, I can pick up my Mini S tomorrow!!!!! Finally, after waiting since the beginning of the month. I'll take some pictures and post them as soon as I'm united with my baby.

 

That should have said, "since the beginning of March not month."

 

Congratulations!!!! I cannot WAIT to get THAT call!

 

ok... I'm really jealous now. but I'm glad for you guys, you deserve it after the wait.

 

When is your car coming? One of mine sat at the port of exit a month and some change before being assigned.....now I can call the kid who is buying my Honda and tell him he can have it soon!

 

mine won't come till around halloween. I was thinking if it came before Halloween I could fill the boot up with candy and drive it around and throw candy to all the kids. but parents would probably think it was drugs or something, so i won't do that.

 

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Or you could really injure someone if you beaned them with one of those snack-size candy bars.....

"Bobby....I told you not to take candy from the stranger in the little car....."

 

When did you put the order in?

And actually... I was also wondering....is it difficult to get bonnet stripes on the car after you get it? They are REALLY growing on me....

 

They're just stickers so it shouldn't be to hard to come by. Some places sell aftermarket stripes. That's one of the reasons I'm waiting till tomorrow to get my car is they are putting the bonnet stripes on and installing the cd changer.

 

I don't know how easy it is to put them on. I'd imagine it's not hard since they're not painted (they're almost like stickers, but obviously not just stickers). I saw a racing stripe kit for the minis on http://www.mini-madness.com for $100, you apply it yourself with a hair dryer! looked cool though.

 

Thanks.....that helps.....I just wanted to make sure it was still an option! :smile:

 

"FINALLY MY CARS HAVE SHIPPED!!!!!!"

did you order more than one L.Mini?

 

NO! The idiots at the dealership ORDERED ME TWO!!!!! I get which ever one gets here first....I guess it's better than forgetting to order anything.....

 

crazy. the lady that ordered mine forgot to add the bonnet stripes. luckily i caught it.

 

Yeah it was pretty strange....I had the first Vin# and then they suddenly emailed me a new one and I thought they were trying to sell the other car out from under me.....it has been something of an ordeal.....this is the first new car I have ever bought and I had no idea it would be this hard!

 

this is the first car I've ever bought as well. I own a 99 VW Passat, but I bought that used last year. Where did you order yours from? where you located?

 

I'm in Maryland.....Baltimore to be exact.....I got mine from Mini of Towson. The people that work there are really nice, but there has been some.....ummmmm.....confusion. However, compared to my last car buying experience....my used Honda....the people at least are better to work with. The guy I bought the Honda from was so gross....he kept asking me out....it made for a really unpleasant experience.

 

classy.

 

Where are you? I wish I knew more people around here that drove Minis so we could have a meet or something!

 

I'm from California. bay area.

 

So many people on this site are from California! I will have to drive out there for a meet!
(You know....just take off work....you see how busy I am right now...they probably would never miss me!)

 

I know what you're saying. although, i'm starting to get busy now. i'm in the calendar business so I'm really busy from July to November and then I just sit around and play games. (i'm exaggerating a little, although I do play a lot of free cell!)
