Minute 3 checking my email to see if my MA has emailed me
Minute 4 checking to see if there are any new comments on NAM
Minute 5 replying to a p ost so that I can reach 4th gear.

Damn, I am busy!!!!
Funny you should reply...as I was messing with you specifically but figured I'd catch a few with that net.

Looks the Honor got tired of waiting and has now gone around the others and looks to be headed for the bridge right now

I am acutally using the Owner's Lounge. I hadn't watched any of the videos before -- Just thought I'd wait until I saw the end in sight before I started learning about all the fun new features.

I almost feel like a kid in a candy store.

If you have an iPad or IPhone, there are also several apps you can download for free that give you additional information.

She'll be 'comin' around the mountain here she comes- toot, toot!!! Gentle Leader is on the outskirts of Malibu (my backyard) according to marinetraffic.com. Interesting, it appears they had to slow down a bit? Their ETA in to Port Hueneme is 2:28 min @ 8.60 knots. Maybe they need to hold back a bit to allow other vessels to clear out as it's not a HUGE port. So, yes, they will be in Port of Hueneme by midnight making their "tomorrow ETA arrival as scheduled. May take a trip to the port tomorrow and check out the Gentle Leader. Who knows, I might be able to get a sneak peak as our Titan comes off of the RO RO and onto USA soil!

Today he was sure to tell me my .9% interest is locked in. I forward the 0% interest email again to him and said "great that the .9% interest is locked in, But I want the 0% interest now' - MAKE IT HAPPEN!"

Let's see what he comes back with!
I'd love to watch this your hell on wheels....or is hell till you get your wheels?
I do amuse myself!

I woke up to discover the Honor is in port! Woo-hoo!

I had hoped to get out this morning and take pictures of it passing under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (scheduled arrival was 3:00 pm) but I can't complain that it pulled in during the night. Now I'm going to hurry up and wait.

It's a beautiful thing I watched her pull into port last night, on MarineTraffic of course. I hope it's a short stay at the VDC for you. I head to Minneapolis by train on the night of the 13th to pick up my Baby on the 14th as long as everything goes as planned. Good luck and Happy Motoring

Nice. Thanks for the pic. This is the point where most owners drop off the site for a few weeks. Too busy motoring (detailing the car, sleeping in the car, etc.)!

yea, i've downloaded the Mini Connected App and also have Jailbroken my iphone 4 and bought displayout so that i can hopefully mirror my full iPhone OS on the mini's display.

i may have an extra usb Y cable for sale if my baby comes w/the proper cables (bought an official bmw/mini cable on ebay for about $30, official one that has the 3 rings on the headphone plug).

i'm very excited to see what tech my mini coupe has to offer with me being a computer/tech geek. my goal is to post a full Mini Connected w/Nav overview post here if others are interested (along w/videos) once my baby lands and is receieved
