Family comes first & you are doing the right thing. Tell you what I'll do for you.....I'll pick up your MINI & start the break in for you. Good luck with your new car.

Euro Parcel Shelf - it's an additional storage area under the steering wheel that comes standard in Europe. In the U.S. we just get a plastic panel. It takes about 5 minutes to remove the old piece and install the tray.



I got mine from Classic


It's also available at OutMotoring

Just received an update from the dealer that Zephyr is now scheduled to arrive at port on Nov. 5 -- looks like our Minis are shipmates afterall, and that the delivery date to port is (perhaps) one day sooner! :smile:

Be sure to mention you're a NAM member if you order from Classic. There is a nice discount you get that way. :smile:

Today I received the calling ....

from my MA letting me know that my new toy has actually arrived. He wanted to know what programed functions I wanted, what stations I wanted on the radio (what is AM radio ), and when I wanted to pick it up.

I think I might be getting a little excited now. :impatient

These will be the longest three days.

Look as though we will be picking up our cars on the same day. Congratulations! Good luck!

Wow you get yours on Monday. That's great!

I called my substitute MA yesterday. He said he has no idea when it'll show up. Then when I told him it was here in the states he says maybe next week. Everytime I talk with this guy I get the impression he could care less about me or my car. I think maybe I should have a talk with his boss about his attitude.

My MCS came in on the same ship as Lydia so maybe it'll be soon for me too. Thanks for letting me vent here....VENT!!!

Crashton,

Personally, I would call the MM and ask for a status from them. I always try to deal directly with the MM since they are the ones that really know the full scoop on things. The MA's are great and all, but generally my experience has been that they aren't around as long as the MM and the MM have a much more reliable sense of how things are going to play out.

Just my $0.02 based on the past four years.

Dave

It's great to see production week #40 cars getting delivered, given that I'm only 2 weeks behind in week #42...!

DiD,

Thanks for the tip on calling the MM. I'll be doing that tomorrow.

I checked on MINI.com in the owners lounge & my car is now listed as at the distribution center. A little more digging shows an estimated delivery of 10-29-05!!! The space where it says factory installed options is blank though. Hey maybe I'm getting one of those new lightweight MCS' that I've been hearing about.

Chuck

Agreed.

11/6 in Port Hueneme seems far away, so I'm hoping the time passes quickly. Still nice to see the East Coast Week 40 MINIs getting into their new homes.

The wait ends tomorrow!

I'm picking my MINI up tomorrow afternoon as well! Exactly 5 weeks to the day since I placed my order.
