OK! This morning, the "Where's my MINI" online update finally says my Clubman is "at the Distribution Center". I know its been there for four days already (since Saturday). If they are this far behind in updating the site, it should be at the dealer pretty quickly!

2 Mini sighting on the way to work, one I sped up to 85 mph to catch up to- it was a PW/PW no stripe justacooper like I am getting!!!! Felt kinda crazy trying to line up with her but that's okay.... the other is one at work I have been trying to find out who it belongs to for about two months and no one knew, sure wasn't who I expected but I know the woman so now I just need to approach her about her Mini without seeming crazy.... fun commute in today!

Union Jack on top and all the mirror caps!!! Tinting after that... and then start the hubbys projects on it... ordering lots of accessories from moss and installing them ourselves. YAY!!

Probably trimming the existing antenna and getting everything organized in the glove box, console and boot "just so".... and getting selected CD's ready for Mini-ing.... maybe make a "Motoring Mix"....

ahh yes, i forgot about the stubby antenna and all...

I'm ordering a no holes liscense plate bracket, stubby antenna, and a third brake pulsar that will be installed the day I get the car... Maybe I won't install the liscense plate bracket as I'll have temp tags, but still...

No go on K-Line's Bill of lading

hopefully this helps you k-line folks out.. hopefully this works. though i can't imagine no one else has tried before.
I tried entering the bill of lading on the K-line, several ways, several times. No dice.

Speaking of fuzzy dice, will I get a pair when Sparky comes ? Prob not, but I -will- wax the white wheels. Maybe see if that fuzzy lamb's wool seat cover (that I bought but never used) will fit the drivers side...

4" stubby antenna, Blue LED light kit, and a full 30GB ipod! I think I'll follow suit and wax myself some wheels as well.

The license plate decision needs to be made pretty quickly! You have to instruct them not to drill your bumper or you're going to get holes there!

There's a MINI due!!!

This last week is killing me! But my MA just told me my Clubman is on the truck and on its way to the dealer!

How to spend these last few days????
Here is the result:

(Sung to the tune of 'Something's Coming', West Side Story)

Could be!
Who knows?
There's a MINI due any day;
I will know right away,
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballing down the way,
Money to pay,
Clearbra on its nose!

Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, at the VDC,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there's a MINI due,
Gonna come true,
Coming to me!


Maybe tonight............?

If you're on the K-Line Western Highway, due to dock in Charleston on June 26th, you can track your MINI here:

Yeeeeeeeah! Owner's Lounge says Expected Delivery: 6/20/2008 and we all know the OL is always wrong! I'm hoping my MINI comes in on the truck today. If so I'll be there at 9am tomorrow morning.

I don't think I can get any work done this afternoon until my MA calls me back......!

Rich,
This is sung to the tune of "We're in The Money"

We're near the Finis
Soon have our Minis
I hope those truckers speed along the highway soon!

We're near the Finis
Soon have our Minis
Can't wait to hand over my saved up gold dubloons !

Oooh cool rhyming with those songs!

At this minute, I'm actually downloading some for my iPod and getting it ready for some "MINI Motoring" tunes!

Oh yeah, I'm ordering the No-Holes LPB as well.. I'm just waiting 'til my ETA is closer so that if something goes wrong I'm still ok with the 30day warranty though I doubt anything would happen while my brother is installing it.
