Nice!!! I think I wrote this before - I originally planned on buying a MINI like yours - Horizon Blue with a White top. It is amazing how good all the cars our group ordered look - there isn't a single one that I couldn't be happy with (but, I'm still glad I got Nightfire Red).

Hey Everyone - been a little while. Just got back from vacation late Sunday night and picked-up my new baby last night. Woo Hoo!!! Took a couple of pictures prior to the pouring rain and hope to get some good ones this w/end. I'll try and post some later.
Congratulations to everyone else who just got their mini's! It's fun going through the past few pages seeing everyone's pictures.

I have some interesting news. Lynn ordered her 2010 on Sunday, 9/27. I told her to call Ask Mini today just for the fun of it. They told her the car went into production yesterday--the next day after ordering it.
The car has an estimated completion date of 10/5.
It should make the Port Hueneme ship on 10/9.

After Lynn ordered the car on Sunday, 9/27, I quickly checked the ship schedule. I knew the car had to start production this Wednesday at the latest if it had any chance of getting on the ship next Friday, 10/9.
Tracking the car this time around is so much easier. I knows what to expect.

I just read through that.. (it was page 37 BTW, but you are forgiven
)
I would fight to get the deposit back. I ordered my MINI from Crevier (in Santa Ana, about 40 miles Monrovia Mini) and they told me my deposit is 100% refundable. I even have it in writing. I assumed all dealers in SoCal did this
Why should the dealer get $500 in pure profit for providing horrible customer service?

So I got home last night and there was a package on my doorstep. I wasn't expecting anything, so I was a bit curious. I open it up, there is a card from my MA and a Mug with chocolate in it. The mug has the MINI logo etched into the side, and my name etched in underneath it!
This type of stuff make me so excited! I have never bought anything before and gotten goodies like that for just being a customer! Good job my MINI dealer!

You are one of a handful of lucky people who had an unveiling of their Mini.
I made a thread a while back and asked how many people had an unveiling. Not that many people got to experience what you experienced.![Thumbs Up](https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/images/smilies/thumb-up.gif)

Lynn is trying to get her deposit back. It is no big deal to her if she doesn't get her money back. She has moved on and is looking forward to her 2010 Clubman.

That was really nice of your MA to give you a gift. I wish I could have been there to see you smile when you opened it.![Smilie](https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Lynn has put the bad experience behind her and is looking forward to the 2010 Mini. She doesn't know much about cars, but she is very passionate about her cars and takes good care of them.
