Did you get a chance to see a picture of your ship, Porge, at the Panama Canal on 9/10? We had a viewing party here that day.

Hey little sister, where have you been hiding? My MINI is probably going to be on the same transport truck as yours - all I can say is don't drop anything on me if they load you on top!
The Week 34 Support Group has been having a great time tracking our cars through the manufacturing process - and the agonizing period while we waited to see if our MINI made it onto the ship.

Yeah, post up the pictures when you are ready. We will all be on this thread for many weeks to come. Enjoy your new car!

Here is a show called, "How It's Made." It is a show that tells how things are made. I found an episode where they make Mini Cooper seats although they never mention the manufacturer or the car type.

Owner's lounge says it's at the dealers, but I can't get my MA to tell me that it's there or when I can pick it up.... "I'll give you a call when it's ready" is NOT good enough for someone that has obsessively tracked it's every move for over six weeks!!!

I feel like I'm on Apollo 13 going around the dark side of the moon and hitting the radio blackout. It's just me wondering what is going on and if everything will work out. Wondering if I'll reestablish a connection with an update. Wondering if something will go wrong.
#635
Yes, I definitely feel like that, too! My only solace is that I have a job and a lot of work to do and it distracts me occasionally from my obsessive worries.

Someday we will be saying "Beautiful! It's beautiful!"

Ken & Blousie - I do feel your pain about the wait. I plan to leave a message for my MA later this morning. Say leave a message as I rarely get him when I call but he is generally good about calling back. When I spoke to him last week he said he thought that it would be in today so I'll give him until lunch and then call.
I keep seeing all these mini's in my work parking garage and just can't wait until I can join the team. Plus I've even met with some of the NJ mini motors club - a real nice group of people who even accepted me w/out my mini. Can't wait to get motoring!

I think I can speak for the rest of us when we say that after spending so much time together, I think your "lady friend" needs to have a name..pseudo or otherwise. (Even "I" refer to her as "UAL's lady friend. )

So sort of early when compared to the WWL date of 16 Sept?

Dash - sorry that you've been having computer problems.

And, while you all have been a source of comfort, I also have the people in the Nightfire Red Support Group to help me get through this car-birth thing.
