Spoke with my MA today and my car is on a truck en route to the dealership. According to him it should arrive tomorrow or the next day! I should be able to pick it up by the end of this week! I am so pumped!!! I will be sure to get some pics and post them, if I am able to get out of the car. Almost here....

BTW, my MA told me it would be approximately 24 hours after delivery to the dealership before I can pick up my car. Anyone else hear the same thing?? Why can't I drive it home off the truck, haha.

You'd better believe I'm a pro! I ordered my car on December 23rd, but had to cancel it and go through the whole thing again after my wife decided she wanted Hot Chocolate... right after the Chili Red car went into production. I've been hanging around these forums for months!

A few more days

We pick ours up this coming Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. We went and saw it in the lot at the dealer in the dark last Saturday night. Just sitting there waiting with its sold tag on it. It came to the dealership 3 days early than expected. They have a few things to put on for us ,and we have to pick up a check on Friday from the person that bought our other car we sold, so we have our down payment. We have keep the whole day open on Saturday to drive around and do errands. We can not wait. Ugh. And It is only Tuesday.

Argh. I just heard at least part of the Canadian rail system went on strike, and my MCS is going to be a week late!
First week in April now... by then I'll probably be the only dude still posting here!!!

Those crazy Canadian unions. Hopefully, they don't vandalize anything. I hear that happens on occasion.

Nice! I'm so happy for you. Your MINI and my MINI will be twins! Be sure to post pics so I can see what it looks like in person! (well...non-edited over the computer anyway...)

If I remember correctly, various packages arrived from MiniUSA weeks and even months after we purchased our 2003 Cooper. We weren't expecting anything then, so who knows this time?

I've got 100 miles on the Clubman now. It runs, rides and handles great. I've got about half the features and programming set up and everything I've tried so far has worked. A relief after reading the complaints and problems forum for the last six weeks.
I'm even enjoying the auto tranny, first slushbox I've owned in 30 years.

Twiggy looks great. I need to get myself a blue tooth phone now. I want to see what will work best in the car.

Hello all,
[FONT=Verdana]This is my first post here, as well as my first MINI[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]I am eagerly awaiting my Clubman: Lighting Blue with Silver roof/back/pillars. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]I selected the Premium pack as well as the Sports pack [includes silver bonnet stripes] [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]Automatic transmission & multi-function leather steering wheel & the Pacific blue interior trim highlights.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana]I ordered it at MINI of Peabody, MA [SIZE=1](IT'S A GREAT PLACE)[/SIZE] on 3/15/2008 - the ETA is sometime in June. I have no PROD number yet. . .[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]*p.s. Our salesman was Hrach: or should I say SUPER-Salesman ? He's not named Mr. Mini for nothing [/FONT]
