We went to pick up the MINI last night but got a phone call on the way up that the DMV computers were screwing up with the license so they couldn't register it. My girlfriend was holding back tears because she now has to wait for this snafu to iron itself out after building up all that excitement. :( But we continued to the dealer anyway to have a look at the MINI and at least sit in it. It was sitting in the bay ready to be delivered (with a big blotch of bird poop on the hood already etching the paint!). Hopefully we can pick it up within the next few days.
We have a boston puppy too...and she loves riding in the mini!

My husband is 6'3" and test drove the MINI with me. He loved all the head and leg room. Perfect fit. Just can't put another tall person behind him. But that was one of the points of my getting a small sports car this time. Less passengers, more independence (sorry, you'll have to drive a separate car; we don't have room and will need our own wheels in case we want to leave early...)

Apparently things have been straightened out and we will try again tonight.

Excuses
I'm 5'4" too. It's nice being married to someone who can "reach things" in the kitchen for me when he's around. Much better than finding the stool. Anyway, excuse or not, I'm going to be very picky as to who rides in my MINI and I'M DRIVING! (Well, I might let Michael take the wheel once in awhile, as he is the the one who was so gung ho for the MINI in the first place — but it only took me about 30 seconds into the test drive in S.F. to fall in love with it!)

my MINI is in transit from the vdc to the SB MINI. :impatient :impatient :impatient I am supposed to work 12 hr shift's on thurs and friday. If they don't get my car today, then, I can't get the clear bra done until saturday and get the car shipped on monday. That means I wont be driving until tuesday. I just want my MCS!
I may have to hop a ride with foo!

I don't know if DS is faster or not.... mine must be hung over from all the partying on the ship.

heh. No need for chills, but thanks. It's a half-yearly industry specfic audit. Auditor is a very nice MINI driver. A sweet Checkmate MCS, too.

I knew that would get you going!! Soooooo.... SB called me tonight. My car will be at the dealership tomorrow. I called my clear bra installer so he can meet me there tomorrow afternoon. I guess I will be doing some paperwork tomorrow, giving up a car, buying a plane ticket to phx for saturday. Then on saturday, I will be one crazy motoring chick! Yeeeehhhaah. Tonight, the UPS lady brought me presents for my MCS! Lots of presents! In my living room I have my strut support plates, driving lamps, aux input, sportlink with bike rack, glove box organizer, rear bumper guard, siruis plug and play, boot mat with extension, and beautiful green eyes from stoopidgirl. Now, I only need to order a few more things before I can take a break (parcel shelf, sunroof wind deflector). My friends just bought a vinyl printer. They are going to do my side panel decals and my roof decal, plus boot stripes. Oh my god, I am an addict.
Anyone else order from Southbay?

Whoopee!!!
Shoudler is doing progressively well... we're thinking more positive these days. I'm hoping to be at the top of my form when delivery takes place.
Got the dog sling delivered today. Still waiting for my personal plates "NANOKAR"...

Does that mean you're trading in after all??
I got three calls today and couldn't be more ecstatic. The most recent (2 minutes ago) sounds the most promising!
At this point, I will walk and take the train everywhere I have to go until my MINI is ready if I could sell it off right now!!

just curious... where did you buy all of your presents... specifically curious about the aux. input, boot mat and glove box organizer... did you get them somewhere besides your dealer at a discount? classic mini? just wondering if I can get them cheaper then from my delaer (I'm sure the answer to this is a resounding YES!)... thanks

Grats to Sam. Good color choice, BTW.

Pegasus is flying...
For those of you WK36ers that know you are on the Pegasus Leader, I just checked the Port Hueneme shipping schedule and it shows the ETA as October 8th, not the 11th as originally told to me by my MA and the BMW forum. So we (as of today) are 3 days ahead of schedule! Yay!!!!
