With the help of this forum, I have tracked my Mini from online order through production in the UK, shipment from Southampton across the Atlantic into port in NJ, endured the excruciating lapse between the VDC and delivery to the dealership, and now, TODAY, I am picking up my Laser Blue/Black Justa w/ heated seats and sunroof to drive it home! I'm about to bust I'm so excited. Hang in there. Stay with the forum. Your Mini will come.

 

::sigh:: I finally found out what the holdup is on my MINI (she's been sitting at the VDC since 9/9/11). Apparently one of her rims was damaged in transit, so they are waiting for a new one. No estimate as to when she should be getting to the dealer. ::sigh::

 

RC,

What a bummer. but better they take care of it now than later. BTW. Last night I was kept up by a dream that had me test driving BMW's My dreams that keep me up usually are events that are going to happen. I just hope that there is nothing wrong with my CM that is at the VDC.

 

Oh, RallyCat--You must be so frustrated! I hope it doesn't take much longer. You will be SO happy with the color! It is truly jewel-like, the photos don't do it justice. I like looking at my mini almost as much as I like driving it. Hope you are motoring soon, soon!

 

Good news! I got a call today that she is on the truck, the dealership will have her today, and I will be picking her up tomorrow afternoon!



I know, my photoshop skills are awesome
(credit to Dittin (vendor Eyeshades) for the great eye design (that I have butchered here, sorry) on the sunshade I have ordered from her)

 

How lucky? I am waiting for the phone call, mine is at the VDC

 

I wish I could create a graphic on the miniusa site... High-Class Silver isn't an option yet :(

Edit: oooo! They just added it today!

 

OK, Rally--where're your pics?! I KNOW your busy driving, but I want to see my mini's sister!

 

Here she is! More pics to follow. I LOVE her- only downside is they forgot her bonnet stripes, so I have to take her back in a couple weeks

 

Hey, we're not just sisters, we're TWINS! Beautiful car! LOVE the color!

Had three (3) waves returned this weekend. Happy motoring!

 

Back atcha, Minimid By the way, have you posted pics yet? I gotta see the Dutchess' twin sister!

 

Sorry for the delay--Life gets so busy! Anyway, here's the link to my pics. I haven't made time to learn how to import them... Still loving my car, still feeling the thrill!

(Hope that works... )

Edit: Shoot! I don't think it's working. I'll keep trying.)

 

Aww, can't wait to see the pics when you get it working...for what it's worth, the easiest way I found was to upload the pics to photobucket, select the photo you want, copy the "direct link" under the photo, then come back here, click on the postcard-looking icon, then paste the link to the pic. Hope that helps!

And at long last, the Dutchess got her stripes!

 

I've seen this MINI on another forum... Hm. :P PhillyMINI member!!!

 

Guilty! Lol

 

 

OK, well, there's one... I didn't mean for it to be so BIG! I'm still working on it.

BUT! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL?!

 

Stunning! Okay, so maybe I am a bit biased...lol
