You keep getting Honor and Manon mixed up! Honor is enroute to Baltimore with no scheduled stops in NJ...

Honor is off Cape Cod but still too far off shore for marinetraffic.com to pick up her AIS transmitter. Until she gets closer we're stuck relying on her weather observations that she seems to send every 12 hours or so and are posted at sailwx.info. I would guess we have at least another day before she's close enough to shore to get regular reports from her AIS...

 

Thanks, I appreciate the input

 

The next two weeks should have this forum filled with Mini ****! YEAH!!!!

Sorry just excited as I am crossing my fingers to take delivery by the end of the week if possible...!

 

Well, the Gentle Leader is getting ready to dock in San Diego. I sure wish they offloaded the cars headed to Irvine n San Diego. Sucks that it will dock and then headed back out to seas, passing Irvine, on it's way to Port Hueneme.

ughhhh, one more week and I think I'll have my baby!!! Someone please pass the popcorn

 

Hey there GG--

Just a little bit longer and we'll both have our MINIs. ETA is right on time for Pt. Hueneme!

 

Actually, I think your video is for those who are less nerdy than you, since those who are as nerdy (or nerdier) would have made their own.

This post, on the other hand, is for people who are as pedantic as me.

-Seabeast, who was outside doing shed-work all day and is really glad you made the video.

 

I was driving over the Ravenel bridge today and nearly drove off the side when I saw the Athens Highway about to dock in Charleston! I wandered around to the terminal and the nice security guard there said that the Minis did come on that boat and they would start unloading around 7 pm. Sadly, I had to work but the Athens Highway is again underway so my baby must be here!

 

To help the time pass more quickly here is some Mini videos I found a playlist of 56 mini videos but for some stupid reason it didn't post the link like it should so I'm posting the next best thing.
The ultimate test drive of a Mini:

O'well I will look for that playlist again later.

 

Well, MINI Online says my baby at the dealership.

No word from dealership

 

Did you expect anything more? Maybe they are just preparing it for you although a photo to say it was in would have been nice like many of the other MAs do for their customers.

 

Yup, would've been nice.

They are going to tint windows, put on Driving Lights, install Roof rack.

Maybe I will see tomorrow

 

It won't be long now blknblu. Looking forward to seeing pictures, especially the seats, I'm getting those also.

 

For the folks who are relatively new - you need to check out the old "Hammer and Koop" series that MINI ran. Also of note are the old MINI of Canada commercials, and the original ads the MINI ran for the launch of the car in the US...

 

Some of the best of the MINI commercials...







and of course....

 

Ok, no idea why that post is so weird looking...

 

The last one made me Laugh!!!

 

Great post! Love the videos, thanks

 

So ready to see some Mini ****!!!!

I'm a newbie at this posting Mini **** stuff, and well, seeing as it'll be my turn soon, ( a little nervous) can someone tell me how to post pictures. Do you all want top on or top off?

I'm not as techie (aka nerdy) as a lot of you!! teeheeeee

ps: The Gentle Leader is now docked in San Diego. Oh my, this is by far the hardest part!!!!!! I'm hopeful today is the last Monday I have to drive that dang loaner car!

 

TOP OFF!!!! TOP OFF!!!! TOP OFF!!!!!!



SHOW US YOUR HEADRESTS!!!!!!!

 

Good point! Ha.

 

I'm FINALLY booked on a ship! I'm received and booked on the Tongala, leaving Southampton tomorrow bound and determined for Port Hueneme by March 20th! It's about time!!
After seeing 'No Records Found' at least one thousand times, I about peed myself when I my screen came to life with positive info!! YES!
It was received at terminal and booked on the 18th but didn't show up on track and trace until this morning.
Woo hoo!
Kim

 

Yay!!!:thu mbsup: Finally!

 

Congrats!!!

 

Congrats Kim! It's been a long wait.
I don't know what others will say, but I have found the shipboard part of the wait the easiest; you know basically where it is, you see daily (usually) progress, you have a date. This is not to say I'm no longer crazy, just less crazy.

Well, when you put it like that --- TOP OFF it is!!!! Maybe I'll even show you how special my trunk is too!!!!!
