Yes, she has but I haven't been out from behind the wheel... Took her to the beach this morning and took some more pictures.

 

She's a beauty. Congtrats. Enjoy your new ride. I'm loving mine.

 

I use Marinetraffic. Here is the Figaro http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shi...00&header=true details. As soon as it gets near the Caribbean, the long/lat will change and you can track it on a map. I added it to "My Fleet" which lets me get notifications when it arrives near a port.

 

Thank you and yours is gorgeous, enjoy.

 

Molly, so happy you got her. I remember when I joined this thread you were lamenting her long wait for a ship. AND now she's here!

 

Wow, it is so cool to actually be able to see where the Figaro is on the map! I added it to "my fleet" also.

 

Well, it's been a long time since I've been in the "waiting for arrival" threads, but Gollum just left for his new home, and Gollum II is due in around 10 November.

I can't wait of course!

Cheers,

Charlie

So, after about 7 weeks waiting, I picked up my new '13 JCW Hardtop yesterday afternoon. Couldn't be happier to be back in a MINI (had an '09 JCW). Love the car. Some pics for your viewing pleasure.

 

Nice seats...how do they feel?

 

How did you get black grill surrounds?

 

Picked it up yesterday morning. We love it! Wife's named her MC "Bean..."
It looks like a black top and black stripes but they're actually hot chocolate...Bright sun.

 

Lots of graduations this weekend. I'm hoping to graduate Friday!

 

Seats feel great. I was lucky enough that my dealer had a car on the lot with the Recaros that I was able to test out before placing my order. They seem to fit me perfect and they also don't have the annoying headrest that sticks forward too far like the other seats.

I ordered the parts while waiting for my car to come in. I don't know why they went to the chrome for JCW cars, the black seems much more distinctive to me. Once I got home, 10 minutes later I had the black surrounds, JCW mats and sport antenna installed.

 

I have seat envy.

 

I love your car btw!
Which antenna did you get?

 

2006 MINI S garage kept, automatic, Sport Package, hand washed, NON-SMOKER, NO DAMAGE ever 15K miles, Car is in Wilmington, NC
I sold it to my friend who owns a car lot, he is asking $19,500.00

 

Your car looks great. Looks by your timeline that it got to the dock a day after it was finished. I'm guessing mine will be complete on 10/20. Ship leaves on 10/24...wondering what are the odds of it making that ship?

 

Wrong thread, me thinks

 

Pretty good, I think.

 

Thanks....went into paint on the 18th but ol says it is still in paint. My guess, based on other comments, it should be assembled today.

 

If it's not born yet, it will be on Monday. I didn't get an accurate timeline on transportation to the dock, and I had to find out 3 days after the fact from my MA that my car had made it onto a ship.

 

yeah....hard to determine where it is in OL on line. Talked to a human and they told me it was in paint on the 18th....OL had me still in the body shop on the 18th.
It went into production on 10/11. Looks like all production times have been running 9 days...which would put me "born" on the 20th. I'm on the west coast. If it doesn't make Topeka on 10/24 it will go out on 11/6. My guess it will go on 11/6.

 

Does anyone know if the PH VDC works weekends? My MA says no, but I thought I saw somewhere it was 7 days/week.
