Funny how the estimated date on OL today has gone from April 15 to the 14th and now the 13th. Maybe I'll wake up in the morning and find out the car is already in Portland. Ask Mini now says it's "in transit." I have no idea if that means it's on a "ship" or that it's on the truck headed for Portland.

Well, apparently my Mini WAS delivered on Tuesday but the paperwork got "mixed up" and they just noticed it yesterday afternoon. I'm a little afraid they've been taking it out for a spin and tyring out the Nav system. It better not have TOO many miles on it.
Anyway, I'm supposed to pick it up this afternoon around 4pm. I've had the iPod connector installed so I'll let you know how it works with the Nav system and will be sure to include lots of pictures as soon as I can.

That sounds more like it! 20th-25!?! Nonsense. Perhaps it's time to gas up the car for the trip up north?

My MA called me yesterday and said my car will likely be at the dealership today. He said he would call if and when it got there in case I wanted to come down and look at it before final check out. Heck yes, I'll be there with my camera. I won't be able to pick it up until Monday or Tuesday because the techs have Sunday off (lazy bums).

Are you still scheduled to pick up your car at Rasmussen's on Saturday? I spoke with my MA today and he said it would be ready Thursday.
I thought about taking a day off from work, but decided it would be better just to wait until Saturday. So I'll be driving up there that morning and picking up my car at 10 a.m.
When will you be there?

Still waiting
The MINI is still not done at the dealership. No call from my MA today, I called and left a message, but no return call.
I guess I could've taken some time off work and at least go and look at it. I wish I knew why it's taking longer than most, not that it would make the waiting any easier.

My MA at Rasmussen said they had 20 new cars come in all at the same time. I imagine that if half of them had add-on accessories, that would take a few days to finish. Can't run them all through at the same time.
Good luck on getting your car soon. I'm counting down the days for mine.

My train from Seattle comes in at 11:00 and they're picking us up from the station at that time. What color is yours again? It'd be cool to check out each others cars eh? Mine's getting the clear mask and the rally lights so I'm excited to see how it turns out. It'll be the MCS BRG/B - just look for the girl with a HUGE smile on her face - that'll be me by the way!!

That it did. Hey, but mine didn't look half bad, either. Great that we both got a sneak peak at her car before Angie and her husband arrived.
I almost had someone change lanes into me in the first five miles on I-5. Luckily, the horn worked and he went back into the lane he was coming from. That would have ruined an otherwise perfect day.
The 200-mile trip home gave me plenty of opportunity to test out the wiper sensor. Rained the entire way to Roseburg. But that's Oregon in April.
It was nice meeting you, Jarid. Looks like you and Larry both had a busy day.

Your car looked fabulous - I'm glad I had a chance to sneak a peek! The weather sucked coming back home but we took a detour and have already put 250+ miles on her. She's all dirty now though with all that rain which is a bummer. Can you believe we didn't see one single Mini on the way home to wave at? Lots of gawkers though - that's gotta make you feel good. Love your car!!! Have fun, pleasure meeting you, and motor on!!

On the trip home, it was the same experience as you had. Not a single Mini on the road. Even passed by a used car lot across from where I work and the one they got in on Thursday was already gone.
Hey, that's no fair that it's back to being dry in Edmonds. Still raining here this morning. But I feel the sun coming.
