I'm hoping to get on the Maersk Wave (9/11), though the Isolde only leaves a week later.

. So now there's room in the paint shop for Sassy Climbergirl who was also scheduled for week 36. We'll all likely be on the same boat!

Oh baby — we're in production!!!
OMG,OMG,OMG! 
My MINI's finally been conceived and I'm the proud owner of not only a production date (TODAY!), but also a completion date (Sept. 8th) and the VIN!!!! First, I went from OL showing only that the order had been placed (same song, 30th verse), and then the ASK MINI robot saying scheduled for production but no dates. So, finally I talked to "Jason" in Customer Relations (I was really demur and sweet; showed no impatience at all) and he was so friendly and wanting to help me! I decided to keep a pencil handy just in case he might have any new details.
And then I got the motherlode!
I'm SOOOO excited. Oh, and I really like this 36 week group too! Climbergirl — now that I can concentrate on a few other things, I'll be posting to the show us your pets thread soon. I have two very hairy aussies and a black cat that thinks she's a dog (fetches endlessly, plays in water, and more!)

I agree with you, I am happy that we all have met. Well, you know what I mean.. virtually. Hopefully we will all join in some of the runs and meet in real life. Kissmys!!!!!!! ]http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/jumping/jumping0002.gif[/IMG]
I am sooooooo excited for you. Please do post pictures of you aussies and your cat! I am a sucker for animals. I used to have 2 cats, but due to my SO horrible wheezing every night, i had to find them good homes. Hardest thing I had to do in my life. I cried like a baby. I need to post a photo of the brown monster.
Soo... I was sooo busy today, I didn't get see if I made it into the paint shop. I guess since Polly is booking along and looking out for her friends, I should have. None the less, we should all be chillin on the boat together. I wonder who will win the limbo contest??

Its finally Official
Just spoke to Climber Girls pal Patrick and my Mini is already in production and will be completed on Sep 5th.
I think someone on here gave the shipping schedule but I can't seem to locate it.
I'm thrilled to say the least and look forward to sharing a berth on the next ship with some of you!!!

She's got a name!
I've named my MINI! It came to me last night around 3:00 a.m. You see I've always thought that the way I envisioned my MINI's final look was to be more on the miniature limousine/classy side as opposed to racing/sporty, thus no stripes but lots of chrome/bling. And the royal grey color with silver top reminded me of something, but I couldn't exactly pin it down. Then it came to me ... a mink stole, a fur sable combination. Suddenly the name "Minx" popped into my head. Dictionary definition is: a high-spirited or impudent girl or woman. 
I think it is perfect. What say you?
