Well, it finally came! Picked her up this past Friday. The wait was well worth it. Say hello to Ginger. Yes, I know her name is cliche but I don't care. I got the technology, sport, and premium packages. And for those of you are are concerned about buyers' remorse when you pick up your new baby, any thoughts of those kind disappear completely once you sit behind the wheel and drive it off the lot.

Your MINI exists in a quantum state. Only by observing it first-hand will you know its exact position and trajectory (which is hopefully driving off the lot very quickly).

My MA gave me a production number, but since the car wasn't built, no VIN was assigned. Today I realized that on the OL, you can find the full VIN on the service log page. So I searched https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage for it, and found my car isn't awaiting transport, but is instead on the Endurance.

I hope that it doesn't get stuck in Baltimore for long. When I ordered the car, I was told it would probably be mid-July when I get it. Now I'm hopeful that it will be late June.

Nice Phynix. I saw a Clubman at my work with the same paint scheme and I have to say it is one of my favorites. And love those wheels, same as mine!

Some day I hope to be picking up mine but it still seems so far off.

9 days after it left production. Yep... I'm bound to be on the Integrity.

What is your estimated arrival date at the receiving port ?

Never mind, I see it's due in to Baltimore on the 27th. Cool.

The integrity leaves port on the 21st, sure hope mine isn't ready by then.

Well once the Parsifal leaves port..it heads right to Baltimore.. Which im not sure how long it takes.. But ask mini said It should arrive on the 23rd.. That was before they went crazy on me though ha ha... How long does it take a ship to cross the pond?

There's a chance, but hopefully it won't happen! Once mine was slated for the boat it was loaded and sailed.

Now just waiting for the dock... Two more days...
