I guess I was confused when you said carrier, FredoinSA. I wasn't thinking truck but boat.
My MA said this morning that MINIme had just arrived at port, but I saw Florida Hwy was docked late Friday night. Said he would let us know as soon as he knew what truck and when it was due to arrive.
Yay!!

oooh.. that means mine must be in too! Haven't heard from my MA so will have to call him. Let me know how pick up goes and how they treat you.. I'd be interested to hear. Maybe we'll pass each other on the road some time!

Just picked up the car and this thing so much fun to drive!!! I changed the mirror caps and air ducts to red. Took about 10 mins. Here's a teaser pic.

Hopefully yours in too!! I grew up in Littleton, and still reside close by in the Ranch. So it's possible we may pass one another!!

Anyone know if I can get brown air ducts? Or even surf blue for that matter?!

Hey guys, looks like we're all anticipating new MINI's in driveways on the same weekend. Hoping to have mine by the 19th. I'm also hoping that the dealer over promised and we'll actually get the call on Friday. Oy, the days are dragging on forever!

The Talisman has left Southampton and its next stop is Baltimore, scheduled for the 22nd. I am hoping for a pick of date at my dealer by the 31st. Fingers crossed that the VDC doesn't hold for more than three days.

It's here. . .It's here!!!
I picked MOJO up today before noon, and got to spend a little quality time with it before I headed in to work for the night. I'm just waiting for the sun to go down so I can see what it's like with all the lights on!!

I took the DSLR out and took a few shots but forgot the cable to load them to my PC! (doh) Pics soon. . .

Congrats! So excited for you! How did the pickup go? Did they do the hard sell on the warranties? Did they throw anything extra in? Can't wait to see pics!

hopefully we are all tooling around by sunday morning...
I am having a hard time understanding the 5-7 day travel time from NY to NE...4 hours max to the half way point. An hour here to unload cars...crazy..

I went through an auto broker, so none of the dealer nonsense at delivery!
I did get some free all weather mats thrown in!

Crappy Cell pic a few minutes ago. . .

Enough with the teasing - more, please! Where'd you source the mirror caps? I'm a big fan!
