It looks like we're shipmates. The 4 weeks probably seems reasonable. I'm anticipating between 4-5 weeks for mine to get to Portland. I've been tracking it since it left the port and keep the website up so I can see the progress. So far, we are still in the English channel. Patience if definitely not one of my virtues.

Nevermind... this is it, right? www.marinetraffic.com. Pretty cool!

Hey everyone,
Just signed up, but was lurking for a while before deciding to take the plunge. I must say that this forum was really helpful with option selection.
Onto the fun stuff - just ordered a MCS in pepper white with black top and mirrors, convenience and style packages, and a few other standalone options (I think Canadian option packages are different than US ones). Build date is early April, with delivery at the end of April. 2 long months away....
I'll be honest - it's going to be tough hearing about all your deliveries while I anxiously await mine. Something to look forward to, I guess.
Looking forward to many years of fun motoring with this Mini!
Cheers,
Mark

It won't be long now--mine was on the same route last week on the California Highway and I'm picking mine up today! Good luck!

Yes, we picked up Sprout yesterday! Glad it felt like a Sprout when driving home or I would have had to rename him (her) Merry Bell (it was a Christmas gift!) Don't have too many miles yet--I've been working on my settings, figuring out how things work and working on shifting smoothly again (it's been a while since I've driven a manual, but the muscle memory is still there!). It did take me a minute or so to remember to push the clutch pedal in before starting the engine when leaving the dealership! That was embarrassing! Hopefully they thought I was just playing with the radio! You probably have many more miles than I have--does that smiley face mean you've been to Disney World?!

I think I finally have my seat right and the stero set. Next week cleaning.

Do we know where Tortugas might be wandering about today?
