We just got word our car never showed up at the dealer as it was slated to today. Now they don't know where it is. We had worked our schedules so we could take tomorrow off the pick up the car and do some break in. Sucks.

If they said it was on the truck, it could be down in your area in one or two days. When my OL said it was at the dealer, the dealer told me it was on the truck and on it's way. Turns out it was really already here in Colorado, but the dealer does not do any off loading of cars on a Saturday. So.....

Bottom line, I am going to complete paperwork this afternoon and pickup my long watched/awaited and longed-for MCSa. I hope the process at the dealer goes fast as Denver South sucks for traffic especially if you want to go up to the Boulder area.

I hope you get your car soon.

Don S.

Look for some after 9pm Denver time. Promise unless I'm still doing the Peak to Peak pushing up the miles.

Ok, here is a couple of pictures taken by me and by my wife. We got down to the Schomp MINI about 4pm. We had wonderful time, it was a party. Mike the newly appointed Assistant Sales Manager and Vince did the honors. Two very nice and helpful MAs, Mike came in on his day off to see the delivery and Vince gave a most complete orientation. We got off to dinner and a brief ride at around 7:30pm. But I'm educated on the details of MINIDOM. Now if I can only remember all of it.

So, 2 pictures, then the rest will be in the gallery or over on my picasa albums.

It has been great waiting with all of week 18 and the West Coast Titus folks.

Better pictures after a bath on Thursday and a very though de-bugging, E470 at night at 70-85 makes the Cooper a nice bug zapper.

If they are on top of it, it is part of the delivery process. Explained to me as keeping idle hands off your MINI and folks just poking around since if it in the showroom, people will sit in it, eat in it, well you know.

I think all MINI Dealers enjoy the mystique. I enjoyed and I sold cars for a year as one of my retirement jobs. Trying different things I wished I could have done while I worked for 37 years in IT.
