We are planning a trip to Delware on the 26th so anytime before that we will be happy to get Mini Rose home.

Our MA suggested we not get any stripes and then let their guy who does all kinds of vinyl work and the clear bras do exactly what we want. It is a better vinyl and cost less. That gave Rosemary time to decide just what see wanted. On my Laser Blue Clubman with silver backend accents, I am going to have the c pillar covered in black so the glass area is black all the way around after the windows are tinted.

If you copy the entire page of Mini's, you can load into a picture editor like MS paint and chop down the Mini you want. Then save just that Mini in a seperate file. You can then make any changes you would like. I use Adobe Photoshop and Blaze Gif creator from most of my work. I am a novice to say the least but if you have something simple I would be glad to give it a try.

If you really do not want the stripes, they should be able to remove them. Of course I am sure they will still charge you for them.

Has anyone on the Western Highway seen a status change in the owner's lounge? Mine still shows enroute but if it's as accurate as it has been throughout this process it will not show at VDC for another week.

I'm going to render that site useless at this point. I've learned more from you guys throughout the process. Hopefully this is our week!

I agree. I am expecting to know more tomorrow (Monday).

If anybody sees a change on the owner's lounge site or hears from their MA, please post!

I have the feeling most of us will be driving our Mini's before the Ol catches up.

You've got that right! I'm still 'en route', too. Talked to my MA the other day to see if he'd heard anything and he just laughed and said that with the info I've gathered from NAM, I'm far ahead of any information he has!

Hey Brendily,

Did you order from MINI of Dallas? If so maybe we'll be there at the same time!

Hi all, just a quick update - I spoke to my MA this morning and as of this morning his system shows my car on a train from the port to the VPC. He wasn't sure if that is accurate/real-time but at any rate he said car should be in Nashville by end of week. Hopefully that will hold true for all of us. Have a GREAT week!
