Agreed, these weeks are getting longer:impatient
Started off with LiB/B but then switched after seeing the LB in the flesh...made the dealer pull the two cars next to each other and paced around them for what must have been like 15 minutes debating. Everyone must have thought I was a complete weirdo

It was a real beaut - CF hood scoop, bonnet stripes, and R105 JCW 18’s! I’m gonna have a bunch of free time after tomorrow, so maybe I can go back to the dealer and snap some photos. Maybe even finagle another test-drive out of them

Wow, that's a cool photo of Titus passing through the locks. Thanks.

I ordered LiB, but now am thinking I like Laser better...hehe. But it's too late baby (as I humm the Carol King tune) and i'm sure it will all be good in the end.

I'm really worried I've never seen a 2007 MINI (in person) and I'm hoping against hope that I like my choice... If I don't, I guess it's not only too late but too bad.

I can't pick up my car until the 19th of June so waiting is not so hard... even if the car gets to the dealer on June 7th, I have to wait.

Nice work!

Thanks maxshrike0. My eight year old son was trying to see Titus go through the canal. Made his day.

all of you Week 18 Titus Watchers:

Minibike and I saw Titus pop up on AISLive San Diego Overview- She's about 100 miles from Port Hueneme, just south of Catalina Island.

She will dock on time 5/28/07, sometime in the Afternoon. Look for your Owner's Lounge to change to "At Distribution Center" sometime later in the week. (I find OL about 2-4 days behind)

Now, how long is the line at the VDC? 1 week? Hmmm.... I better clean out that Garage now!

OK fellow week 18'ers...

The home stretch has arrived... OL now shows my mini as "at the VDC"... Now we all watched Titus dock on 5/28.... So the week 18 mini's have been at the VDC since about 5/30... Anyways, I'll be expecting a call from my MA sometime next week....

Where are the pics

Mo, nice combo. I noticed the strips are under the wing, did you do apply the stripes. I have noticed that the strips are sometimes under the wings or an inch away. My MCSa is without stripes.

Ok, all you Titus MINI folks, pictures here or on the Big Titus thread! We must have pics.

Max, show us your pics when you get your reorder. Your an veteran Titus sailor, honorary member week 18.

Bump - almost here.

Finally, the Owners Lounge is saying something I'm really excited about. Click the picture.

Of course, I imagine it will be a couple of days before it is released from the dealer unless they really get it off the truck today (Sunday). Dealers are closed on Sunday in Colorado (ancient blue law on the books).

I've got an appointment to pick mine up at 1100 on Tues.

Kills me to know it's sitting at the dealer and I'm stuck working....

Oh well, soon enough!!!
