the OL has my delivery date estimated at 8/5 so it was delivered on sunday?!?! they aren't even open on sunday. In any case I just might have my car this week, it's kinda odd to think that it's been 3 months since I placed my order, what will it feel like to finally take delivery.

Wow, first time I heard of a car dealer not open on Sunday! I thought all dealers open everyday.

My MA just told me she is expecting my car coming in on 8/9, and it will take a day or so to prep it. I maybe getting it this weekend!

My MA finally got an update and it should arrive in Portland Thur or Fri and we've scheduled a pick up date of 8/14 (tues). Of course the OL still says Estimated delivery of 8/5 and that it is at the dealer already.

At least i have a busy weekend planned to keep my mind off of things and would've kept me from driving.

You will be there before me then! See if you can see mine there. It would be DS/B one with a JCW rear spoiler.

Meet Piper...

R56 Production Week 27-piper1.jpgR56 Production Week 27-piper2.jpgR56 Production Week 27-piper4.jpg

This car is SO much fun! However, I have the dreaded "Check Engine" light already... I'll probably eventually get over it... just VERY frustrating! All that aside though. This car was the best decision I've made in a LONG time and the wait was SO worth it!

Motor on fellow week 27ers!

Yea! Congrats JTL!!! Peppy White is SOOOOOOOO nice. I love it!

About the CEL, read your owner's manual and you will see that they may not be as big a deal as everyone seems to be making them out to be. There are a million things that can cause it to come on and off all by itself. Not saying there isn't something wrong, but it doesn't ALWAYS mean there is something wrong.

Congrats on your sweet ride!

Picked up mine today! It is so great! Already a few strangers ask to see my car. That have never happened to me before. Sorry mondo07gk, I tried to look for your car, but I didn't see it on the lot.

Here are a few pics:

Well guys, it looks like I'll be without Piper for a day or so... . My check engine light came on DAY 2. Just talked with my SA, and he says it is probably the software issue you can find posts about all over this board. Bad thing is, my dealer is 2 hours away... He said roadside assistance will come and tow my car to the dealer, they will fix it, and have it back to me the same day (which I'll believe when I see). I should be happy that it won't be that much of an inconvenience, but my opinion... it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Anyway... just thought I'd share my sad story.
