So congrats, and hopefully the OL will update for us soon to show an ETA for our babies!!!
Well, my MA is on vacation, but I talked to the other MA at my dealer, and their system hasn't updated with an ETA for my car either, yet. He said their system typically updates on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, so maybe it will show an ETA tomorrow.
I HAVE AN ETA!!! I HAVE AN ETA!!! I HAVE AN ETA!!!
The OL just updated to "At Distribution Center" for me, and I have an ETA of August 7th!!! That's Tuesday!!! TUESDAY!!! Oh man, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited (in case you can't tell by the excessive use of exclamation points LOL)!!!

Monday
Mine finally changed this morning to read at distribution center with ETA of Monday!
Any thoughts on what I should ask the dealer to throw in? I'm thinking floor mats and maybe torpedos and/or lasers, snorkel, etc. Seriously, with and MSRP deal will I be able to get at least floor mats?

I talked to the other MA at my dealer today since mine is still on vacation, and he says their system is actually telling him August 6th! WOW! To think that I could be motoring by Monday night or Tuesday after waiting all this time is amazing! I'll post pics for sure as soon as my baby is home!

Early Arrival
My Chilli Red/Black Bonnet Striped, Black Roof, LSD, Sports Suspension, Xenon, Fog Lighted, 17 inch wheeled, Red and Black seat Mini actually got to the dealership today (the computer had predicted Monday) I went and saw it and drove it around the block. Cool! Unfortunately, the Cosmolene (sp?) had screwed up the bonnet stripes so I didn't take it home.
They said it would be fixed by Monday though. Two last questions. I looked at the finish and saw light circular scratches on the hood. Could the detailers have already screwed up my paint job before I even bought it? Also, I want to put the Blazer pinwheel (black) somewhere inside or outside of the car. Floor mats, a small pinstripe on the outside somewhere, I'm not quite sure. I don't want to put a sticker on the car and I do not want to create a customization that cannot be reversed should I ever decide to sell the car. Any suggestions?

The light circular "scratches" are more than likeyly swirl marks. Pretty easy to remove, but also precisely the reason my dealer will NOT be detailing my car before I take delivery. They are caused by over-zealous detailers armed with electric buffers who don't care because it's not their car. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr to them I say!!!
Well everyone, here he is!!! I snuck down to my dealer today to snap a couple pics before I take delivery TOMORROW!!! WOO HOO!!!



Oh man I freakin' love this car!!! He even looks fast just standing still. I'll post a full ride report (late) tomorrow after I get home with him!

Thanks man! Truthfully I would have preferred CR/B like you got, but it just gets way too freakin' hot here in New Mexico. I couldn't see myself suffering with the black roof, so I got white instead. 
"GET OUT OF MY CHAIR!!!" LOL!

"GET OUT OF MY CHAIR!!!" LOL!
That does make sense and believe me I have had my moments where I think, hmmm....maybe a white roof would have been the way to go, so I guess I sorta like em' both.

Sneaking onto the lot to see the new arrival is so much fun! Eagerly awaiting your delivery pictures. Great looking car, and you made the correct choice for your roof color!
Indeed! 
Well I have been on the phone all morning with the General Manager, and he is making it all happen for me! My car will be ready this afternoon!!! WOO HOO!!! I'll post some nice scenic pics as soon as possible!
Thanks! I LOVE the white roof. I just think it is SOOOOOOOOOO uniquely MINI!!!
