Update: My MINI has been released at the VDC and will arrive at the dealership this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

That is all.

 

Woo Hoo! Now you can have your blue neon lights installed for that ultimate Tron look! Gurgle pop, gurgle pop...

 

waiting...

 

Nice! But then you have quite a bit of dealer work to have done, right?

 

You figured me out !!



Patience, my friend, will be a while yet. Will be in Baltimore area tomorrow and stopping in to meet "Vincent", my JCW. But won't be ready for me for another 10-14 days, I'm thinking.

Yep, E... a few things. The stripes from MINI Graphics just arrived in the mail to the dealership yesterday. Barely beat the MINI there. Full bonnet clear bra, and one other that required an outside vendor.

 

10-14 days for stripes, a bra and new panties?? Seems like a long time. Surely you can arrange to have it by early next week? That is unless you are still waiting on parts!

I hope it's an error in their systems, but the WW site is now showing ETA for the Tiger as 07/11/2013. Last time ETA was updated on AIS looks to be 5 days ago.

 

Probably right. They farted around the Panama Canal for 3 days.

 

CR - That is great news - I assume that is from your MA?

Nah, no way the panties will be ready by early next week.

Yes, email from my MA this morning... after I bugged him about it. Any word from your MA yet if yours was released by the VDC ??

By the way, the night our ship was coming into the port, I woke up every hour or so to check on it. Damn thing didn't dock until around 3:00 in the morning!

 

Well, I'm headed back to the dealer this weekend....



My mom's interested in buying and wants me to come along! Heh!

 

Mine is off on Tuesdays - I'll be bugging him in the am - I did get up once that night but my wife heard me and I believe I could "hear" her rolling her eyes in the dark so I didn't try it again.

I just figured it out :P
The new DRL's are available on 7/18. If you could get them in two days after, that would fall nicely within your 10-14 day window. Gotcha!!

 

 

Good guess tho eh? You should get them, I am!!

 

Yeah, that was a good guess ! I'll see how they look on yours before I spend that kind of money on them.

 

Good job, ask them how many referrals needed to get free mods

 

I'm on a trip but my wife said she heard on the radio that due to an unusually large amount of whale activity, large cargo ships between LA and San Francisco have been asked to slow their speed by half. This article touches on it, but only mentions the Bay area, but it is 3 days old, so maybe the range has been extended. So that could explain the Tiger's delay if it arrives past midnight of the 10th.

 

She was steaming at 16.2 knots. For her, thats booking.

 

Where are you getting that kind of detailed info with her not in tracking range?

 

And then you'll disappear into The Twilight Zone with Zippy, never to be heard from again ...

 

The Tiger is track able again, and is well south of San Diego.

Will definitely be the 11th.

 

Nooooo..... not going to pull a Zippy on you!

 

Yup... Unfortunately. These kinds of things make for planning very difficult. Both, my spouse and I have to coordinate to schedule vacation at our jobs, (not an easy task in itself), to then make the long trip to Portland. Technically, I should have already submitted a request for that time. Hoping that there are no issues at the VDC or getting her from California to Oregon. In that scenario, I would be looking at about a week and a half after she is unloaded.

 

I hope that is the case for you. My MA said I wouldn't have my car until after the 20th, and I am less than 100mi from the VDC. I am having driving lights and the JCW instrument cluster installed at the VDC though, so that may be why he said it would be there 7-10 days.
