I'm finally motoring! After the first 5 minutes in the car, I couldn't wipe the grin off my face.

COLIN'S HERE!

Picked him up yesterday!
If you wanna be a nervous wreck for several hours, pick your MINI up with your 9-year-old daughter! Much touching and fiddling and GENERALLY DRIVING ME MAD!
But I kept my cool and continued to grin this stupid grin that won't go away....
Only 2 glitches:
They ordered the wrong color wheels and the side marker light on the driver's side popped off on the way home. A little clip is broken, so I'll have to have that replaced, but no problems otherwise with 40 miles and counting.
The wife took pictures and I'm gonna grab the office digital camera today. I'll post ASAP.

Pure Silver is my second choice, coin flip, but I am thrilled with the IB/B.... I hope you enjoy yours as much as mine, 456.8 miles and still like the first time...

Yeah, I figured you were trying to post from your Gallery so I went there and lent a hand. Lovely color, and isn't it that much more beautiful in person. Gives you a reason to drive it over to friend's houses just to show them....

sigh... Is mine the only 9/27 build car that hasn't made it into the hands of it's owner yet?

Arrived at VPC 10/17 - released to trucking 10/17.

OL says estimated delivery date is also 10/17. Should I tell them they missed their estimate?

Darn it - time to call MiniUSA again... First thing in the morning...

9/27 build still on ship for West coast!

You guys have your cars or will soon...But we are still waiting for our ship to come in!

See there are a few advantages to living on the East coast I guess.

andrewinla, I guess you're right - and we didn't have a dock strike to contend with here either. OK, I'll quit whining...

I *DO* have good news to report though - MiniUSA told me this morning that the car was put on a truck yesterday! Since the dealer is under 2 hours from teh VPC, I'm guessing it's there now - but I can't get through to the dealer - all their phones are busy today.

I'm still hoping I can pick it up tomorrow (Saturday), but that's a longshot. We'll see.....

Paulgraz...nope you are not the only one still waiting with a 9/27 production date...my IB/IB MCS has been at port since last weekend, went to the dealer in Charleston yesterday, they gave me a delivery date of 10/27 to them, so that means probably next Friday...
patience makes the heart grow fonder...hahaha!
