I can't imagine any MINI being "plain ol'" - every one of them is SPECIAL!!! and as you know it's all about the motoring.

I was so excited knowing today was your day Muse...but now I'll have to wait to see yours and mine!? Mine should be unloaded from the train tomorrow and on it's way to the dealer by Wednesday or Thursday. Unfortunately, I have a few options that still need to be added...so it may not be on the road until early next week!!!!

Ok...2:00 pm here in CST. Muse MUST have her car by now? Don't tell me she took it over that bridge in the picture and is driving off into the sunset? Maybe she won't take pictures, but will just drive it to all of us of show her off?

First, I found out if my MINI was on a ship I could track. Fortunately it was. I went to this web site and clicked on auto cargo, entering my VIN. It showed which ship my MINI was assigned to and the various ports it would stop at.

Next bit was to go to this web site and click on "ship tracker" and then "find specific ship by name or call sign." Enter the ship name you found previously...the call sign is also displayed if you want to note that. When you click on the ship name, a map will come up.

Once your ship arrives stateside it gets more difficult....one's sanity suffers, but it is worth it!!!

Well I've had several, but my globe-trotting offspring seem to wander off w/ them. It'd be easy to blame them, but I'm the idiot who handed it over!!!

Muse...funny thing I noticed...since the converts are still the old style (which I really love), I noticed that you had a traditional style key. The non-converts are the new style and don't have a key anymore. A round disc fits into a little dock on the dash and there's the push button start.....no turn of the key for me!
