No fear.. we're still here... and ready to provide support... =)

No 2012 will be left behind. Well, except for Hawkling who we'll need to figure out who the owner of that one will end up being and pass along his journey to his new owner. =)

Of course we won't abandon you all still waiting! I personally felt like my recent posts weren't affiliated with the "waiting for" thread and I didn't want to be a menace on that thread with my woes (ie cracked windshields)

and congrats to deejay. Glad this terrible experience is over for you. Just curious, did you get Purrl from the same dealership you ordered Hawkling from or a different one? If I were you, I don't know if I can give them my business again for not being more helpful tracking down Hawkling. I usually don't hold grudges, but it is a MINI we are talking about here!!

I'll tell you what happened to Hawkling, it was Purrl! That home wrecking *&^% snuck on the ship and cut through his bindings. I wouldn't put it past her to have pushed him overboard. She's done this before, they don't call her the Maniac Ms. MINI for nothing!

It is with great pleasure that I can now finally introduce you all to Purrl - please make her feel welcomed. She is still not fully clothed but we have ting and rocker panel appointments coming soon:

Here she is paying her respects to Hawkling:


Purrl is such a beauty! So happy for you...enjoy!!! PMKNHD said it...Purrl is Hawkling's angel!

*moment of silence for Hawkling*

The wife ordered her Countryman on June 30 and it already awaiting a ride from Oxford to Portland, OR where we will pick her up. Wife has already told me not to expect much wheel time on the 1800 mile trip home - It should be broken in good by then -
Now she wants to know which ship it will be on and where it will dock in the USA. Told her Calif. then a long truck ride to Portland. She is not to happy about that.
To make things worse, once she gets it home it is 300 miles to the closest service center - let's hope it does not need it that often.

Hello! I've been lurking here for a few weeks now and finally decided to join the fun. I have an S Coupe on order which is aboard the Taipan. It sounds like my Ollie is in good company on his long journey here. Cheers everyone!

Thanks! Once he is released from the VDC, Ollie will be on his way to Phoenix. I'll have to meet him there then drive him back to Tucson! The wait is finally starting to get to me. So excited!
