Poor Glen!! go get drunk if you really feel the need ,,,, but!!!! All that will accomplish is giving you a headache to add to your anxiety over the Clubbie delivery.

Maybe you can order some extras for your Clubman? How about some grill badges? Side scuttles?
Maybe buy a Playboy and you can stay pre occupied for a few hours??? Or,,, say,,,, paint your home??

I think most will tell you on this forum that those last few days/weeks are the absolute worst!!! Hang in there soon you will be motoring and you will forget how long you waited.
I still love my Clubman just as much, if not more than the day I took delivery. They are a great little package.

Ha! Thanks guys for the encouragement - I might paint my house whilst downing some beer! That should get me through a day or two!!

No word yet from the Dealership on an exact date, although I have been told to pencil i April 30 as the date it arrives at the Dealership, which I guess means a few days after that for delivery.

Moan, groan!

cheers,
Glen

Congratulations !!

To pass the time, if you have not done so already, you could go to the MINI website and check out their MINI operation/controls, etc videos. You then can send an EMail to someone from the MINI website showing you in a MINI going down a ski ramp. These were on the MINI USA website and probably on your's as well. That should keep you busy for at least a couple of days.
