OK guys. I am fairly liquered up right now. Anyone want to join me on some covert ops to rescue our cars from the Charleston port? Who's with me...ninja style!
My MA says my Factory JCW is sitting in Charleston. Other 2008 MCS for this dealership on the Western Highway were already released for shipping. This lends creedence to the rumor that new factory JCWs are being held at the VDC until July 7th for the official JCW market debut on July 14th.
Bummer
Mine is stuck in NY! My MA said it will be released on the 14th ... now I'm hoping for the 7th like you've heard!

Sorry, I'd be in with you but my baby is waiting too far away in NY. Have one for me and good luck with your mission!

Not a Ninja, but I think I know the perfect person to lead your raid... who else has worked as a Samurai, a Pirate, and a US Navy fighter pilot?
my MA called today and said the car should be at the dealership by Monday!! does anyone know how long it usually takes to have your bonnet stripes/checkerboard mirror installed? do you have to go "buy" your car and then tell them you want those and then they will take a couple of days to insall it? how does that work?
Seattle- that is too bad about the KIA! Wow. I would have cried too. Good news is Dutchess is on her way!
I know! I don't know how my best friend drives that everyday! lol I guess I'm blessed at our age... But shes in college and I work my butt off lol
Dutchess was offloaded and I guess the VDC is working overtime to get cars processed so people have been saying their MA's are saying arrival to dealers on Monday or Tuesday, hopefully that is the same for me!!!!!! I would love to pick up my car on Saturday!!!!

and to think, i missed Rigoletto by a day. Oh well, i'd be on vacation most of next week anyways and im not taking her on a 700 mile trip w/o a clear bra.
Sorry to hear about the kia. You're okay, and that's most of what matters.
Thanks!!!
It is good that I didnt cause an accident, but it was humiliating!

Once your car gets here they process it and anything you ordered (stripes, mirror stuff, etc) gets installed right away before you take delivery. If you havent told them you want it you probably should call them ASAP so they can arrange it. Then once your car is complete they schedule the pick-up time with you and then you do your financing once they do the "un-veil" (sp?). Hope that helps!

I'd join in and bring the swords, but my MA called and wants me to call ASAP. May mean that Maggy has or will arrive sooner!! Mine are real samuri swords and samurai type!! Relicts of a midlife crisis resulting in iaido studies and black belts.
Blueberry beer= Wild Blue??? Stuff is awesome, hard to come by but it's delish and highly recomended, not to mention it's like 8% or something. Oddly it's made by A. Busch.
Alright, it's 9:17 AM and I've got to get ready to get up to my parents house to sell the car (halfway for the buyer and I) then I'll be in a Dakota all weekend which works out so I can help a friend move. Just had to catch up on posts this morning.
Star person,
You, who have an amazing number of posts, will never be abandoned. You have catapulted the week 23'er's into the hall of Mini posting fame. I pledge with my soul, $26,000 MINI fortune (soon to be forfeighted, and the hair of my neighbor's cat, who really lives HERE, that I will post pictures for your enjoyment and all the other fan-tas-tic friends that i have made here.
More to come, by the way, your dog is kinda cute. Keep on posting until the keyboard breaks.....for.... I..... am.....with....you !!!!!
Now, back to the fridge for another blueberry beer.
Thanks! my dog is cute! She's 5 1/2 months old so she's a nut! Fits right in with me!
Blueberry beer??
Yes, got it at a local supermarket, real bits of fruit, made for people who like sweeeeeeeeet drinks. Very caloric, I think like 5 WW points or something.
Trashman took the bottles away, but Google or you local distributorship will tell where it is...
Glad to hear that your MINI is on the way ! Gotta wait till Monday for mine, although the wife may drag me up there to take a pic
The family just came by and drove the car. Super nice people and they appeared to like the car. Said they would call me this afternoon. KEEP THOSE FINGERS CROSSED!
Talked to the MA last week. The estimate is Zonker should hit Mpls (dealer) Wednesday or Thursday... I am not asking again as I want that estimate NOT to change.
