Thanks.
I flip-flopped like crazy on the color choice. I'm not a black roof fan. Although some colors look good with a black roof, it would be too hot in the summer. The final three were MY/W, CR/W, and PS/PS. I went with PS because it's a classic color that I wouldn't grow out of over the years, even if it's a little boring next to everybody else's MINI. Now if PS/W was an option. Hmmm.

Wandrur - Woo hoo! About time.....
[So, you said Friday, right? Too much studying to do on Thursday...and it's bar night...and...]
I've looked at the Wet Okoles, which sound very similar... I think I'm getting used to the leatherette (geez, what a name!) - and trying to fidgit less!
But I suspect a set of these may be in Dory's future. I really like the look of the neoprene, and they would definitely add some color to the interior. Thanks for the tip!

WG if it turns out Dory's l'ette starts getting on yr nerves (like it did with a friend of mine in AZ, too hot and sticky in the heat) consider getting neoprene seat covers from Moss Mini, they are quite stylish and very comfortable in all weather, and clean very easy.
Plus they come in blue!

I know VDC prioritizes cars that are already sold (like ours) and processes the cars being trucked out long distances first (as opposed to local, sorry S CA folks), but this week?????? WOW.

I was also told that unlike 4 years ago, transports to distant cities are exclusive to that city, no more stopping off in Vegas or SLC or Phoenix or Albuwhatever on the way here. So maybe there was a truck waiting and our cars were literally loaded on Isolde last on/first off military-style high priority (after Galveston) and were sped thru vdc. god that would rock

It just still seems so soon here, has me completely at a loss, if this is true, that's fast. But then I also remember WtR's MA initially telling him Isolde would arrive 10/20--like it should have--so we'll see, as granny used to say.

(Or, after the canal Isolde had calm seas (faster transport) and made up a couple days to arrive at PH thurs or fri, and the internet site didnt show this. It's happened before. That'd be tres kewl.)

Yep, I remember. Luckily I've always been prepared with enough dough in my account to pay registration. How long are temp tags--30 or 60 days? Or...?
