I figured this was as good of a place as any to put my first post. My little one is on the Asian Chorus as well and we are currently in New York ready to set sail for the Panama Canal and then off to California.

Hi eveyone, I am as excited as you are.

AC left NY Harbor long ago. Should be nearing Atlantic City NJ by now.

Oh, and here's the thread for the Asian Chorus (june '08) trip.

Just ordered my detailing/washing supplies from Detailers Paradise. I have to admit that I am/was one of those people who took the car through a carwash occasiionally. With my soon to arrive Maggy, I am looking forward to using these products to enhance her beauty! Got the Hydro, Mystique and Slick. If they get here before Maggy I am going to try them out on my 87 Alfa -Guido.

Any pix will help! I'm going nuts knowing that my blue baby with stripes is off the boat but is now sitting locked up in the dark at the NYVDC until Monday morning, and I can't do anything about it!!

I'm soooooo jealous!

Picked up my MINI this morning after hitting terrible traffic (probably the worst experience of sitting in traffic I've ever had due to the anticipation!!).

I got "lost" on my way to work and had to take a 80 mile drive, shucks! I'm definitely going to have to relearn how to drive, I was doing 90 without even blinking! I even had two MINI drivers and four non-MINI drivers wave or give me the thumbs up in just under an hour!

Edit: Trying to figure out this picture thing...attaching thumbnails:

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
BEAUTIFUL!! 100+miles already?! You're not MOTORING enough on your first day!

I don't think anyone could overtake you DChap.. you're waaaay ahead of everybody!

I think the closer the delivery time I guess the more we post? Some sort of coping mechanism..

Oh, and Zone, MORE PICS PLEASE! And include yourself this time!
