My wheels have just landed at the dealership, and my MA shot me a pic. Pretty awesome service. It's still got the protective wrap on the paint.

Will pick it up on Wednesday after it's been prepped, the windows have been tinted and they've swapped out the air intake tunnels for red ones.

Glad to finally see it.

As of this morning: Booked on the Carmen, which leaves tomorrow for Baltimore - ETA: 06/07.

According to the ASK MINI rep it should be painted soon.

Brought mine home late yesterday, but today it's in the shop getting the clear bra put on so haven't had much driving time yet. Sure is interesting noticing all the little differences between the 2013 and my old 2009. Some good, some less so, but overall this is going to be a lot of fun. I've already been blipping the throttle more than necessary just to hear the exhaust note...

Hoping to get out for a photo shoot soon, if the weather holds. Looking forward to seeing pictures of yours as well - when it arrives!

While watching the WW website my car snuck onto the KLine Dionysos Leader 4 days ago. Estimated arrival in Port Hueneme on 6/21. The wait is coming ever more closer to being over!

They have a graphics person in house.

I still want black, and prefer flat, but I've seen some horrible looking flat black stripes on minis and other cars. Looks like someone tried to wax them or something. Anyone have experience with flat black stripes?
I think we may have placed our orders very close to the same time frame..lol

I picked up my convertible today. Of course a small monsoon opened up and I was unable to put the top down. Hopefully the weather will cooperate tomorrow so I can take some photos. I'm a first time MINI owner so I will have to get used to the car and feature. So far I love it.
