the final stretch! i'm hoping it doesn't have a long stay at the VDC. i'm just in upstate NY, so it can't take more than a day to get here once it leaves Jersey City.

I agree! If it weren't for it being a convention I'd sure pack it in and head back. It'll wait, just not too sure I CAN!!!

I can't say if I had a choice of either the Dentist for a Root Canal or a Convention that it would be an easy choice.....

It appears the Turtle has arrived and left NY so my Clubman should be on American soli by now! Hooray! Hopefully, for oor MINI's headed south, maybe the Tortuga can pick up a favorable southerly breeze!

Sounds like a plan! Hopefully that'll work for ya. I'll call my MA in the morning and see what the ETA for my Clubbie might be. Just wondering if Gizmo will be here before I get back. Charleston to Florida should be closer than NY/NJ to SE VA. Good luck!

Good luck! Mine has been at the NJ VDC since the 24th! I'm getting a little anxious! Sure would like to see my car. My MA said it can take up to 10 days to get in scheduled on a truck. Anyone else know this to be close?

Make that two of us. However, as far as anyone (OL, the dealer MA, The Amazing Kreskin) can tell me, my car is still "en route". I know it was on the Tortugas. I know it was discharged at 10:00 AM on Oct. 24. Beyond that it is a black hole of information. Ten days with no update is a bit of a p***er, especially when I have to travel on business next Sunday. I was hoping to take the new Mini up to Pittsburgh, but now who knows.....
