Try to keep focused on the end result. I've been having fun watching the about your MINI videos.

MiniCrazy09 wrote that her MA said her MINI would be loaded on a truck at the Port Hueneme VDC today, would not arrive in Tacoma until Saturday. So, I doubt she gets Bert until Tuesday or Wednesday. But, it is possible her MA was wrong. I wish I knew what MiniCrazy's "estimated delivery date" (as shown in the Owners Lounge) is.
The MA said it should be here on Saturday, able to be picked up on Wednesday. Since I'm working nights, I won't be able to pick it up til Thursday afternoon :(
The wait is killing me!!! I've been waiting so long for this car (although for most of that time it was only a dream in my head)...the last leg of the journey is the hardest!!!

I just wish Bert could have been on the same truck with Twiggy and been delivered tomorrow - we could have both picked up our cars on Saturday.

Sorry to hear that. But, will it really change when you get Bert? If your car had been delivered Friday, the service department would not have done their stuff until Monday or Tuesday - so, by being delivered on Sunday, they still should be able to do the final checks and prep work on Monday or Tuesday.

Hopefully it arrives on Sunday. I don't think I could stand to see another push back!

Luckily for me I've had a lot of after-work activities all week. Monday soccer, Tuesday kid swim class, Wed soccer, Thur kid swim class. It's helping me keep the weekdays in perspective.
I say that as I sit here finding it so darn hard to do work that really needs to get done, just sitting and fidgeting.
I've gotten my 3 1/2 year old super excited as well. Dad's MINI car was on a boat and then on a truck. Now he gets a new car seat for dad's MINI car.
It will be hard to break it to him that no, he won't be riding in it after I pick it up. That first drive is just for me

I mean if my MA had emailed me a picture of the ELEKTRA moving out of Southampton I'd be so amazingly happy (assuming I was who doesn't know these forums exist).
#892
Now, for $75, I'd want it to be dashboard mounted, and provide an emailed pic once an hour....

My wife said that if there was an option to add a GPS tracking chip that is turned on in the factory and removed during delivery for $49.99, that she could see me happily paying for it.

Oh.....you said "if" there was an option. Whew!
#895
My MINI is parked in my work parking lot in a spot in the back where I just have to glance out the window, see it and sigh wistfully wishing that I was in it motoring around! I do that about once every 3 minutes.

Have you already got insurance for Bert set up? I took care of that last week - all I needed was the VIN... I'll call them to let them know exactly when to start coverage after I am positive about when Twiggy will be ready.
In any case, hang in there. These last few days are painful, but once you are behind the wheel you'll forget all about the stress you're going thru right now.

I'd check with your MA on Saturday - maybe the truck will get there a day (or two?) early yet. You could stop by on Sunday to see Bert - and maybe even start the paperwork so that you could pick your MINI up after work Tuesday or Wednesday morning.

I've thought about stopping by on Sunday, since I have the day off. Maybe they would at least let me touch the car...maybe I need a 12 step program LOL
