It's not an illness - it is an evolutionary adaptation.

speaking of back seats, i sat in one for about 30 minutes the other day.. wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. no room to stretch my legs, but at least my head didn't bang against the headliner like you'd do in my acura.

off to work i go.

I assume that was a coupe - now imagine the additional three inches of legroom in the Clubie.

confirmed.

Online Inventory showing my VIN for dealer means my MINI is at the dealer...

My MA is off today... Think i will call his cell in a bit to see if he can get the car in for the suspension sooner than later...

Best case Sat pickup, worst case tuesday pickup.. boo

Krim- my boyfriend has an Acura Integra and I know what you mean about banging your head and crapmped backseat. This time though, I am getting a car that I want instead of one based on passenger comfort I have yet to sit in the back of a MINI.

If they have no cars at MCM, I am wondering why we can't pick up our MINIs on Saturday? I'm not sure Maggy's there. Checked the inventory and didn't see a MY MCSa, but I don't know how frequently they update.
I have yet to hear from my MA now... I wish I was prepairing for her arrival!

Drat- called my MA and he said he has yet to hear an update of my sitting at VDC status yet and emailed a woman at the port and hasn't heard back from her yet but will let me know as soon as he does. As of today my MINI has been sitting in NY for a week Perhaps a car-napping is in order...

EMDEN Departed: 25‐Jun ETA: 5‐Jul

Given that those of us who have been granted the privalage or seeing our cars go on ships have experienced a 48 hour delay in the OL update, the EMDEN is a good guess.

Seeing everyone elses glee certainly isnt helping my insane desire for gratification. Congrats everyone.

PDX is a long way from California, hope they don't keep him at the VDC for 2 or 3 weeks.

Starry, my MA was able to tell which Kline ship Maggy was on. When they are loaded the dealership is notified. Hope your baby arrives soon!

Starry CONGRATS!!!

My MA could confirm my ship a few days after I saw it posted on the WW site. I know you cant track with Kline but I would think your MA should be able to confirm your ship...
