Cville is getting two new Minis from Week 40 build
BHelton: My HC Clubman is on the same boat as your Mini. We should get pics of them together on the downtown mall once we take delivery in another week or so.

My wife's car is also on the Integrity
Even though it's not my car I've still been excited to track it's pending arrival. Had been using vesseltracker.com but it doesn't cover the midlantic so finally found this site and http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...l?call=WDC6925 its getting close!!!
It will be in on the 20th, I haven't even searched yet but does anyone know the time it takes to get through customs and delivered to the dealerships in New Jersey?

Congrats! Once the car hits the port it has to go through the VDC (Vehicle Distribution Center), be shipped to your dealer and then prepped by the dealer. Calling your wife's MA will give you the most accurate info as the time will vary depending on how many cars are at the VDC, if any work is being done there, the distance from the VDC to the dealer's and if any work is being done at the dealer's. You're soooo close though, so best wishes for continued speed.

One of my first picture will be taken with the classic Mini on the corner of Barracks and Emmet.

Correction... the Tombarra must have been headed out of Jersey City at the time I posted this. According to the WW tracker my MINI was discharged at 10:00 this morning!

Same here. Nice to see our MINI's are finally stateside. Now, let's just hope they didn't try to smuggle anything...

Anybody have an XBox? This is off of a game called Forza Motorsports...
It's pretty cool...you can go in and see what it would be like to custom paint/stripe your car.
I had a blast! Although this is not the R56 it still let me mess around and try different stuff out.

FIRST DATE WITH MY BABY:
Hello All,
My First Weekend and there is no way that I can express my feeilngs in words. Have to say, The best feeling I have had for a long time now. Everything about it so cool. It has been good 72 hours and Guess what I already have close to 500 Miles on it. And most importantly my First FULL tank gave me 31 MPG mostly freeway. The sound out of my IPHONE (Ipod) is little disappointing but music from CD is much much better. Apart from that, everthing is exactly how I wanted and dreamt it to be..!
Please find few pictures of MY MINI in my Gallery. Still waiting on Backorder Sport Stripes due this wednesday.

Do you have the iPod adaptor or are you using the stock plug in?

No delivery yet, but it has been discharged from the Tombarra. Hopefully, she's getting spoiled rotten today with a bath and a new set of eyes. I'm hoping she'll be arriving in Richmond, VA early next week. My calendar is cleared next week for some good motoring...

Looks like you and I are both taking delivery at the same dealership! I am in Va Beach and taking delivery at the Richmond Mini dealer because I refuse to give my money again to the Va Beach dealer (bought a BMW from there about 5 years back and was NOT treated well.)
Maybe I will see your yellow baby on the lot when I pick up my laser blue one or vice versa!
