Another candidate for the "Skuzzy School of Whine". You are currently going through the 12 phases to ownership of a Mini. It is nothing to worry about unless you let it get control of you and you start attempting to dart in, out, and around tight places because the Mini can, only to be driving a luxo-barge car and you in fact are careening off of every other vehicle on the road!
We call this falling-off-the-deep-end. Or dropbottompititis. It can be lethal, but mostly just makes you look foolish.
Another symptom is when you find yourself sitting the middle of your living room floor going, put-put-put-put and making screeching noises as you barrel around turns at break-neck speeds. This will give your better-half pause and concern. In extreme cases (donning leather cap and goggles), the better-half may in fact have you committed.
Dunt(tm) worry though. At the "Skuzzy School of Whine" we teach you how to cope with these minor issues on your way to ownership and possesion of your Mini.

And another whine for you. Currently I am working on a project in California which is 3000 miles away for me. How much do you want to bet that my car is going to come in while I am away and I will have to wait a whole extra week or two to go get it?

Just out of curiosity, what are the 12 phases?

Ohhhh,..that would be evil if you had an artificially introduced lag inserted into the delivery time. The Mini Gawds have quite the sens of humor. Dry,..but very much a twisted sense of humor.

You are experiencing the MINI cult indoctrination. Once MINI receives your order, they send out droves of MINI zombies to re-educate you to the way. You will love your MINI. You will willingly accept any flaws it has or develops. You will go on far away trips to join other MINI lemmings. You will run errands, even to buy feminine hygiene products...... Get used to it. You cannot resist.

The answer to all those questions will be in your package upon receipt of your Mini. You think it is an accident you see all those Mini's? Eh?
The kool aid is fine. Have some. Drink it all up. Partake of all that is Mini. Be one with Oxford and you shall receive the greatest gift of all. And no, it is not the payment book.

By the way kiddies, MAD, in this context stands for "Mini Associative Dysfunction". Where every vehicle on the road starts to manifest as a Mini. In extreme cases, even the Wife unit, and other family members, start taking on characteristics of the Mini.
They appear to be shorter, wider, and dart about more, all the while with silly grins on their faces.
At this time it is not known if it is contageous or not, but some beleive it is spread in the water. In the early stages, it is not uncommon to refer to a cowboy hat as a bonnet or make reference to other visual items taking cues from the Mini.
It is not fatal, but it does make you look really foolish and silly. The only known cure is taking delivery of a Mini.

Geez, I was hoping those 12 phases would take place over time. I go through 4 - 10 on a daily basis. Sometimes twice.
Maybe now all the ones I have been seeing will go away and taunt daveag98. Sorry, but I can only take so much and must share the pain.

On a positive note, my car is done and on its way to the docks for shipment. 
Hoping I will make it on the Toledo which leaves on the 12th, as the Integrity is leaving on the 9th and I probably don't have a chance at making that one. That's three whole days of more waiting.
And that's if the carrier doesn't crash or the boat doesn't sink. 
Luckily I will be working in California next week and will probably be so exhausted that I will not know that the week has gone by.

ARGH!
Someone in my Squadron parked right beside me this morning with their brand new Yellow 07 MCS! I felt like cussing up a strom. 
She picked it up yesterday... but did buy a demo, so I got over being whinny for a moment, then started cussing again (too myself). 
I didn't think I liked the yellow, but her's is sharp with the black roof and bonnet stripes.
10 MORE DAYS UNTIL WEEK 25!

My car is now loaded on to the Integrity. Flipping through channels last night and Poseidon was on, and my stomach tied in knots. Turned on the TV in the middle of the night (Not getting much sleep since this all started) and the Perfect Storm was on. Hopefully my tv is not trying to tell me something.
