Pictures of new arrival...
I snuck over to the dealership this morning and took a few pics of our new arrival. She still has the wrap on her roof, and she is waiting for the dealer to install a short antenna, white sport stripe, and chequered flag mirror caps, scuttles and sunroof decal.

Great news!
OK, then surely that means mine can't be far behind, right? My MA told me this morning that he'll be notified when my MINI gets loaded onto a truck for its trip to San Jose, but I haven't heard any updates yet. Then he says it will take a day for the dealership to get it ready. Let's hope the truck leaves LA tonight...

Hi all. I bought my first MINI in 2002, and just ordered a 2013 hardtop yesterday. It's bringing back all those itchy feelings of anticipation as I watched the car move through the production line, onto the boat and across the pond. My production number isn't even active yet and I am already excited.
It will be hard to let my first baby go, but I'm sure the new one will help ease the pain. For those of you waiting for your first MINI, congratulations!! Even after 10+ years mine makes me smile every time I see it.

I know exactly how you feel Vioet. I said about my first Mini, "It's like a vacation every time I get behind the wheel" and I felt like that the whole 7 years I had her. Sure enough, my 2013 is not disappointing me. I am finding excuses to leave the office and run an errand. 
Congrats on the new order!
Woohoo More Mini ****!Jolly Rancher she's GORGEOUS!!!! Love the color and can't wait to see pics once she's all done up!!!ps ---- No comment on the holligan driving --- i know there are spies amongst us! I'm driving her like driving Miss Daisy.

Dunno, but I can guess
My guess is that they schedule trucks whenever they have enough vehicles to fill one. So if this is a slow week, I might have to wait an extra day or two. Still, if your dealer has a delivery date, then mine ought to hear something soon. What's less clear is if they actively notify the MAs or if it's up to the MA to check.

So you think sailing around in circles waiting on Panama Canal passage is bad? How about Southampton to Baltimore/Brunswick via Spain. 
Caught the Chesapeake Highway taking the long route to the US. Looked like it made a pit stop off the NW coast of Spain to fill it's tanks.
Maybe cheap gas?
