Just enter the last 7 digits of your VIN when the car is with TNT ;)

(in the form of TCxxxxx)

Hmm, might have to keep an eye on this in a week or so and get ready to start stalking the odd TNT truck crusing down the Federal Highway! :D

Haha, Liam here, on behalf of ScottyB, who is officially now too good for us in this thread! Am pleased to report that both Scotty and MINI are healthy. It's a 1140kg baby boy with a PS body and black hair. :)

And in other news, my MINI is now on Australian soil. :cool:

FWIW (nuthin), mine *never* showed as discharged. According to W&W, it's still aboard the ship. Lucky for me, that's not true (at least not in my universe).

AND LOVING IT!

I give Baron Mini of Kansas City the highest recommendation on sales, support, and delivery aspects of the car buying experience. I live in Colorado but the wait list for the Cooper S was too long for me. So, I ordered one from Baron in Kansas. Ordered on March 25th and picked it up on May 20th. Not bad!

Just got done with the break in period. So far not a single problem with the car. I live in the foothills above Boulder and driving the mini on the twisting mountain roads is unbelieveable. I have after market wheels and tires and took off the S-Lites and run flats. Put on Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s with BBS RGR wheels. A huge difference in handling! The control on sharp turns is great.

That's it for now. Glad to be a part of the April Production Group!

Congrats Scotty and minisme.

Seems like a long wait, MG, considering your car's already on the island. Hmm, guess it'll seem longer to you! Hang in there.
