Yeah, I have to work but how can I be unhappy about anything right now. Looking forward to seeing everyone's pics as the MINIs start coming home.

Congrats, LynnCVT!

Supposedly my car will be ready on Tuesday (they are still working on the aero kit ....). One of these days I'll be able to join the "Woohoo!" group.

Shame on you, a good 'admin' does not let those certs get out of hand. Of course, I could just permanently accept it. But I wanted to nag.

Surprised... I did renew my cert recently but haven't seen any errors on either FireFox or IE.

Curious as Firefox burps on it in when reading this thread.

Thanks,

I was wondering that too!

Congrats on your new motoring partner Lynn!!

I'm at 330miles already on mine, and still about 150mi left on the first tank of gas. I am very pleased with it and have gotten nothing but compliments!

Thanks! I have not been able to drive it much yet, only about 60 miles because I am working this weekend but I love it already! No disappointments here at all, she is the most beautiful and fun car!

The Isolde should be docking tomorrow. There should be some more deliveries soon!

Commando Raid!

The MA had given me a heads up that it might come in today, so I was out having fun and decided to cruise by:


Seems to be the right color....


Looks like it....



Yup, that's my VIN!!



That's the transporter in the background.



Same father. Different mothers.



Through the back window.

Thanks to Neil Scheckter of Moritz for getting those first two pictures.

The nurses will need to clean up the little 'en, an optometrist will work on the eyes a bit, and those white ears will be changed. Other than that, you won't see too much difference when it's ready to go in a few days.

I'll post again when I've taken delivery and it's all pretty!

Very very nice, I bet your chompin at the bit to pick her up. I know I would be, especially after getting to see your Mini, I doubt I'd be able to walk away.

Must be great to see your new baby in person, but must be agonizing to not be able to take it home.

Keep us posted when the doctors give her it ok to go home with papa.

btw... I like your MINI's sib too. I see the family resemblance (color-wise)

I won't stress out waiting. I'm showing some empathy for my left coast week 26ers.

Yes, unixgal, that was the tie-breaker in color choices. Hate to admit it!

C-Bob: Congrats on your precious making it to the dealer! It's interesting to note that yours rolled off the production line exactly 60 cars before mine!

It is a bit strange: It came off the line a bit before yours, but apparently sailed on a later ship. You've been driving yours now for what, 6 days or so? I'm just glad to know it really exists. There are a lot of inconsistencies in the process, it would seem.

Oh, so nice to see your mini exists RhinoBob. I don't think I could have driven away without mine. I hope you get the call soon to take her home.
