lol I've been freaking out for the last few days because there hadn't been any update as to where my boat was, where it had been moving pretty quick, for 3-4 days there was no movement, no update. And then finally around 5pm tonight it's close to docking at Baltimore.

I am so excited for you both.
I have had my Surf Blue baby 19 days and I am still all smiles when I get behind the wheel.
@Hearthand--it is amazing to me how long you have had to wait! @MiniMouse, it occurs to me, since I went in and ordered my car on Jan. 30th--I would have probably missed the production date and would STILL be waiting had I not nabbed the dealer's already-on-order SfB.
Looking forward to seeing your roof & wheel choices!

Tybee, I got a pretty quick production and completion actually. Of course they didn't already have a surf blue on order, they had a royal grey on order that my car bumped. I think I got in just at the tail end.
What kept me was waiting for a boat! I sat at port for what seemed like forever!

I'll upload pics as soon as she's safe and sound in my garage!

We took delivery of our MINI yesterday, 62 days after placing order.

Had a nice 170 mile drive home; everything works well (except waiting for Sirius activation to kick in...). It is a fun car!

3 weeks after it arrives at the Port?? Seriously?? I'm going to email my MA now and see if there's an arrival date at the dealership. I was hoping I was on my last tank of gas for my current car....

Congrats DR61! Signature picture looks great

Hang in there folks in Denver. You are in the toughest part of the order process. The finish line is in sight so keep your eyes on the prize. You'll forget about the agony the moment you see your car.

You have to go to your satellite radio page on your radio and get your electronic serial number (esn#), call sirius, and activate your signal or you can do it online. I could not get it to work online and it took me 1.5 days to get someone to answer the phone there!! I did it on my drive into work via my bluetooth . Congrats and happy motoring!

My MA sent me this today. I'm on the upper left.



The boat only arrived in Baltimore two days ago. I guess it pays to be only an hour from the first stop on this side of the Atlantic.

^^How exciting!! Y8s - how long was your boat ride from shore to shore?

I heard from my SA today too - "botero" is finally finished with production and awaiting a boat!

Sirius activation failed on-line for me too (would not recognize my VIN or ESN#). Had to go through several humans on phone plus quite a while with the 'preview' channel playing until it was finally activated.

I was on the Independence II. Landed in BALPOA on March 5.

I'm picking my MINI up tonight. The owners lounge still says it's at the distribution center.
