I give you permission to take the rest of the afternoon off to go sit at the dealership's receiving lot. Your MINI is going to arrive, expecting fireworks, a welcoming party, and it's momma....and it's going to be greeted by greasy wrench-monkeys.

This could cause MINI trauma that will require YEARS of therapy. Go! Go NOW!

I definitely don't want my MINI to suffer any more trauma, though it will be coming with me when I go anyway, we'll have couple's sessions.

Aye, but he's the sekksiest geek EVAR! Looking at him, you'd never ever guess there is a geek that lives within.

I don't think so. He'll still be a bit sweaty and scruffy from the voage. He'll want to get cleaned up before seeing his mamma.

Just a quick note... I've been told that the VDC is backed up for port installed options and my baby isn't released yet (maybe he got a VTD and they're not telling me ).

Going to pray for the weekend.

Did they tell you when it will be at the dealer? I can imagine with some of these boats being loaded with mostly MINI and BMW products that the VDC process must be busy for the first few days after unloading. I know it's not much consolation, but Im here for ya!
