Samwise is now at home. We had a great evening together motoring. A total blast. Pictures and details.

Hey Doe, Sam was parked next to a LaserB/B MINI on the roof at MOMV when I got there early. Don't know if it was your baby, but would be kind of cool if it was since they knew each other 'n all:

 

Haha that is awesome! I wouldn't be surprised if that was her. Did she have black strips? If so that's most likely her. This week is going to be killer for me. :impatient

Sam is beautiful Emily. Gratz!
Those are some beautiful pics as well. How do you get to that location with that lake in the background?

 

Here is the family after a fun drive up to Park City...We are having a blast!

I hope you are all doing the same and keep in touch!

 

Nice day! It looks like you're breaking the car in the right way...roadtripping. How many miles do you have so far?


BTW, I didn't know they made Crocs that small

 

All you week 26ers seem so happy with your cars. I love it! Hopefully us week 27ers will be every bit as happy. Even if we're not as vocal/active on the forum as you all are.

 

For those still waiting, any word on your Mini's?

 

Unforunately no. I'll give my MA a call today. This passed weekend has been exhausting both mentally and physically so I'm not really hyped up at the moment. Hope you guys are having a great time. Motor on.

 

Awww Doe, I'm sure you're going totally nuts.... makes me feel guilty.

 

No way, don't feel guilty please. I'm really glad most of you guys are motoring now. I just have to be a bit more patient. Do you guys have any additional pics to fuel my desires?

 

Sorry to hear you are still waiting Doe. They are putting on the JCW aero kit correct? That does tend to add quite a bit of a delay but I think it should probably be about ready to go for you. And here I was thinking I'd probably be one of the last in the group to take delivery. I feel your pain....

I dropped Demi off this morning to have a clear bra installed. I pick her back up tomorrow afternoon. Needless to say, I'm going through a tad bit of seperation anxiety.

If you are looking for more pictures I'm sure I can come up with some tomorrow afternoon/evening .

 

Yep. I called my MA today. He said the kit is ready to be installed, then the car should be detailed and ready for pick up. When exactly that is he didn't say so I'm guessing it'll be ready on Wed.

I really enjoy seeing other peoples cars so bring on the pics.

 

Sadly (or not) I'm almost to 450 miles...and Crocs are the best things ever! My son loves his "Lellow Shoes" and I think they make them even smaller than that for babies with really fat feet that won't fit into regular shoes...

 

Great news... you should have your baby by the weekend so you can go Motoring.

Since you asked for pics, here are a few near a lagoon in Redwood Shores:

 

That's a beautiful area. Where is that exactly? I'm planning to go anywhere nice during my break in period and that looks like a perfect place for a photo session.

 

I'll PM you with a map location. Also, if you ever want to hit the hills I know of some very nice roads.

 

I finally received that call! My MA said she's ready for pick up tomorrow and was wondering when I was available... I'm such a dork though. I should have given him a specific time instead of "Whenever you're free." But in any case I'll finally be motoring and just in time for the weekend too.

Oh and pics will definitely be on the way.
Thanks for the support guys.

 

Grats to you Doe!!! I'm so excited for you.

So what time are you picking her up?

You going to be able to sleep tonight ?????

 

Thanks Emily! Well my MA mentioned that someone else will be picking up their car around noonish... I'm guessing I'll be picking mine up late afternoon.

Odd though, I don't feel as excited as I did when Isolde docked at Port Hueneme. I think it was the fact that everyone was so hyped up, especially you and Gary, and now that everyone has received theirs I'm a bit more relaxed, which is a good thing.

I think I'll be able to sleep fine tonight .

 

Alright I didn't get much sleep last night but I'm finally picking her up at 3. Pix will be up later this evening. Rawr!!!!

 

Yay!!! We're all very excited for you! T minus two hours....w00t!

 

Congrats in advance Doe!!! I'll be thinking of you this afternoon.

Will be eager to see you're beauty with the aero kit on it.

Pics, Pics, Pics.

 

Congrats Doe! You should have your Mini by now. I'm very glad to hear you were finally taking delivery this afternoon. I'm anxious to see pics of the aero kit.

 

Oh jeez I finally stopped to breathe. Well she's home and here she is sitting high on stilts! These are pretty poor pix but I should be taking better quality pics this weekend.

Got to the dealer around 3 and didn't get out until 6. It was a smooth process despite the several hours at the dealer. I highly recommend Roger at Moutain View Mini, awesome businessman.

Notice the one picture with a GTI and the MINI. That was my previous car. I felt bad leaving her at the dealership but oh well, on to bigger and better things!

If you've ever wondered what the JCW kit looks like without rear fogs there yah go... I should have ordered those.

I took a couple quick turns today and all I have to say is wow... Little body roll compared to my gti. She's amazing, just amazing. Do you like?

 

Doe, she looks amazing !! Congrats

 

Drop dead gorgeous.

Congratulations!!!!!
