That is Very Sweet OxyBlueCoop. I'm going to use 03/05, that was the day she was finally ready to wait it out on the Docks for the TRIANON with ALL of her other MINI Buddies. And the day I got word that she had completed Production!! Now GET MY BABY HOME TRIANON!!!

gokartride,

Have you been hanging out at Moritz lately? I saw this photo on their website when I was looking at their in stock Clubman listings. If it's not your car then I think they snuck an Oxy Blue past you.

I think you are right!!!!! It looks like that one has a sunroof and mine does not (although if that is a reflection, yes, that might be my MINI). Looks like they have the same wheels, too, the copycats (although who can blame them)!!

I'm sure OBs are showing up on the truck and going right off to the owners who ordered them, but as far as dealer stock....nada!!!

Holy cow.....I went by Moritz this morning and, lo and behold, that OB/W sbaker saw was on the lot!!!!! Wait, it gets weirder!!! I went back by this afternoon for a closer look and there were three........yes, three......OB/Ws on the lot!!! Dealer stock...all automatics. I guess my dealership has discovered OB!!!!!!! One was already sold, which is no shock, but man my OB deficient world has been turned upside-down.

How cool!!!! I was in the DFW area today. I really wish I had gone by Moritz as I would have loved to see some other OB/Ws. Wouldn't 3 or 4 OB/Ws together make an awesome picture??!!

When I posted the Clubman photo I didn't even think to check if that OB/W was an "in stock" car. Now I've found the listing. They list the exterior color as "undetermined".

Too cute!

No word on my ship. Apparently, it doesn't report positions, so it's not showing up on the sailwx.info site. Should dock in Charleston 4/9, tho (pushed back a couple of days). Just gives me more time to think of MINI stuff on which to spend my non-existent $!

One might imagine, then, that you'll have your yummy OB MINI several days before we would get it in Texas.

Hey, all ... I'm about 1 1/2 hours away from the dealer, which is in Charlotte, NC. At this point, guessing she'll be ready to pick up the weekend of the 19-20th ...

RJ, That's what I'm was hoping for, but the docking date in Charleston keeps getting pushed back. Now at 4/10, and I just noticed it's pushed back yet another day into NY. My hopes for that weekend seem to be dissipating.

Hang in there!

I see Carolina...I'm sorry!! The TRIANON docked in NY as well, but did not unload any MINIs...what were they doing??!! They could have been on the West Coast by NOW!!!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you...I know it's tough waiting and getting tougher every minute!!
I've gotten my Detailer's Paradise order and today Molly's Floor Mats arrived!!! Check out WeatherTech.com

Excellent! Take the day off. Heck, take SEVERAL days off. It's not like you won't be MIA when you get behind the wheel, anyway!

hey I have a question for you guys, my gf is ordering a mini and she wants the oxygen blue, but we dont see that color option in the online configurator. Is it something that doesnt show up all the time or we can just go to the dealer and tell them I want a oxygen blue when I order the mini??

thanks~

Make sure you are in the MINI Cooper configurator not the MINI Cooper S as Oxygen Blue is a MINI Cooper only color.
