That being said PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL YOUR MA or ASK-MINI!
What is it saying today?

Called ask mini next morning and they don't have any info after it leaves the plant. Then called MA and all she knew was it is waiting for a ship, didn't know anything about what was on WW's web site just what OL said.

Enjoy....and my wait continues....

Let's just wait and eat popcorn and gain a few pounds until our MINI's are driveable and/or home? I might have to have a beer too

They tried to put me off until next Wednesday until I begged and pleaded...

I would just show up but I really don't want to be a menace. I want to have a good relationship with the service people. This really is the first time i've had a service issue with the dealer, including my previous MINI. Plus, I have to work tomorrow and Friday, so it's really not that big of a deal. It's just the point. I could, of course, just drive up and down my driveway?

I was supposed to get Pumpkinhead back today but it wont be until tomorrow afternoon. The body shop needed more time. That's ok I would rather wait and have it be done right.

I hope you have a long driveway!

Agreed, It's good your keeping that relationship going with you service department.

I really feel for deejay, this experience has got to suck big time.
They had better at least give Hawkling some good floor mats or an air freshener for the rear-view when he makes it home.
Sorry deejay I had to put that in there.

Your crying about that little thing.
It would spider in no time at all in Colorado, tons of heat, a little rain/snow, instant spider web. It looks deep even from a picture.

Your lucky it didn't come through. It looks like it would have hit you right in the kisser. I don't think Mr. 5.0 would have been to happy about that.
Now that I see this picture, you do have the auto sensors in the windshield. (ref. private message)

I was too. Well if it makes you feel better, I don't think the VDC is processing cars on the weekend, so even if it was a day early, it wouldn't make a difference. After what is going on with Hawkling, I don't think I would want it to arrive on Friday the 13th.
