hey if you see her take a photo if you can. I know that is alot to ask because Altiod is your total focus tomorrow, and rightfully so... but don't forget about your fellow 23rs. and remember you alone will be breaking Nug's heart by tearing them apart!

I'm breaking radio silence - but for the wrong reason.
Poor communication.................on my part. My MA called and left a message w/ my assistant that Simon was in. Soooo, like a kid, I just took off towards the dealership w/o asking questions. I called my MA and left her a message that I was about 20 min. away. She called about 10 min later to explain the my car would need to be processed, inspected (dealer and state) and she wanted to have it detailed. Plus, it was still on the truck - she just wanted to let me know that he had arrived.
Long story short - I have an appointment at 10 AM to ACTUALLY get him this time. You have to laugh at the way I over-reacted and hauled *** down there without all the info.
Just a little over 14 hours to go.

OK so this is really bad, but can i be the first to ask - Was this false labor??

Oooohh.. they're talking about us on the Week 22 thread.. 
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...139432&page=10
And surprisingly, my name is on their list too! [Must've been when I posted that one time to a reply about coworkers being more excited about the MINIs than the owners themselves]. I think that was when I didn't know which week I was yet...

I don't want to get your hopes up, but *if* you came over on the Mignon (arrived on the 18th), it is likely that your car is already in Toronto right now. Mine passed through T.O. yesterday on its way west and presumably they would have pushed yours out the door as they went by (J/K ).
If you came over on the Fedora: it is currently docked in Halifax and discharging cargo.
Sucks that you don't have a VIN for tracking. If you can get hold of yours let me know (I have an account on the CN Rail website and can track by VIN on it). I'd call 866-DRV-MINI and bug them for your VIN if your MA won't/can't give it to you.
The latest update on the CN site shows my car now west of "Exton, Ontario". Tracking trains is even easier then tracking ships!
Good luck.

Thanks dude, I really appreciate that offer! You know what, I think I'll try calling the Mini number to see what I can get out of them. My MA isn't very responsive, nor detailed. It's taught me to be patient, but what the hell... gotta have some fun, right?

I know, I know.............bad visual there. But I figured that since I watched both of my daughters being born, I was entitled to the reference.
11 hours and 19 minutes........................but who's counting?

not quite, my manager responds to about 400 emails a day, that keeps him busy. I'm just a Sr, but i basically boss around all the associate employees when the supervisors are remote, which is 4 out of 5 days.
uh... 2 weeks to go.
