Tomorrow, that is good news. Do you have any over passes or truck stops staked out to see the MINI as it comes in? Or is it just me that was planning to do that ?

I'm so happy for you all! I hope everyone's CMs arrive home quickly.
I am still a miserable mess. "My" ship left Southampton yesterday and is trekking across the pond, yet my VIN still doesn't show up. UGH
I'm trying to do something productive like choose and order accessories. I must find out if the dealer will still service the car & hold the warranty if I change a few things.

Hurley, do you think your are on a WW ship, or a KLine boat? I was surprised to see the WW site did update the same day as my departure, but the Ask MINI line only updated yesterday, and the OL still shows waiting transport. So if you are a KLine, it could be you are just in waiting limbo.
Fingers crossed

Congratulations in advance. Mine should be at the dealership tomorrow but some dealer accessories mean I can't get it until Tuesday

Strange things are afoot. Now the OL shows "en route" so they must think it's on a ship.
Camminich, I am not sure of anything. I only think I am on a WW line since my port is Port Hueneme and that's the info from Zonedguy's "How to track your mini." But, hey, I certainly could be on the K-Line.
Congrats to Justmenmymini! I am so excited you get it tomorrow!!!

Nothing will go wrong! It will be a glorious uniting! You must post pictures!
I am thrilled to report that my MA says my CM is on the WW line Toronto.
LazyMagnolia, you were right!

We're home and our new Mini is tucked safely in the garage. I've got picks but too wiped out to post them tonight. I'll get them on here tomorrow.
I will tell you this...I'd heard how fun these cars could be so I thought I was prepared for it. WRONG! I absolutely freaking love this car! I can't wait for you guys to experience this too!!

My situation was a little different. My MA found an available, already built car sitting awaiting transport that matched what I wanted down to a T. He then had to work a deal with the dealership that had ordered the car. I think the only thing it had on it that I probably wouldn't have splurged on was Xenons and Bluetooth/USB but now that I have them...glad they're there.
My wait time from the time of deposit was 4 weeks. I am extremely lucky!!

Thanks for the complements, guys.
One thing I've found interesting...the run flats are not bad at all. Maybe it's because I came to Mini from a truck but the ride is terrific. I don't like how 'fragile' they can be with potholes up here in NE Ohio and because of that I will probably replace them with regular SB radials after a while. I've heard that improves the ride. If that's true, things can only get better because I'm loving it as it is.
Still trying to figure out all of the controls. The Ipod playing is giving me trouble but maybe it's the way I have my playlists set up...I have none!!
