Hee hee hee - I love it! "Hagrid!" You know that I actually thought of that after I had already decided on Dobby. Congratulations on Hagrid's timeline!!

Okay, I guess I was full of carp. I just talked to ASK MINI and apparently the first step (that started 6 April for me) is just electronic/scheduling. My car didn't get bent until yesterday or today, but it's now expected to be done 17 Apr (tomorrow!). So the actual build out only takes a few days, even with painting. Once it's on the line, it just moves all the way through it.

My MINI is green now!

pocket_rocket · Apr 16th, 2004, 03:27 PM

Congrats!!! I think you are the first of the group to take delivery.. Was your car actually produced in April or was it end of March??

Happy and Safe Motoring!! Take lots of pics and share!!

Holy crap!

EVERYONE that has ordered on the 27th is either in production or even on the freakin' boat already. Pardon my whining - I'm still "On Order" in the Owner's Lounge and "Scheduled for production with no confirmation date" on ASK MINI. So not fair.

But I'm happy for you that you will be motoring soon!!!!

Dude I just check and your sitting at the terminal waiting to be scanned in. You have been book for the Maersk Teal to leave port on the 20th.

That's all the info I have for now... If all holds true you'll arrive in state side on the 28th. COOL OR WHAT.

COOL COOL COOL - Thanks Tridome! That's great. Now I have to figure out some deler accessories. I want to get the 5 spoke 16" wheels and auxiliary guages, but I can't make up my mind on floor mats and the leather brake handle, the shifter etc. Also I guess now is the time to make the call to the insurance agent and get an estimate.

Hi, its my first post, but my MINI will be with me on Wednesday if all goes right. I too have OS 10.3 with Safari and I havent had a problem checking the MINI owners lounge site. Oh and I was relieved by the insurance quote I got so maybe you will get the same bit a joy I did.

pocket_rocket · Apr 16th, 2004, 11:58 PM

Hey there... See you are from Pburg and I am from Philly.. Just thought you may want to know about this in case you did not... MINI is the featured Marque at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix this year... There are clubs from all over coming.. you should come!!

Click here>>> PVGP Site <Featured Marque>

Congrats on Wed delivery!

Yes so I've read, I may participate in the Vintage Grand Prix, Ive been busy reading up on here some things and learning to drive a stick the past few weeks, but I got it down pat now. I was thinking about the Harry Potter car naming theme for a while, I'd love to get the logo for the "Firebolt" broom and make a nice and small sticker for on the bumper, not a full fledged bumper sticker though. Not too geeky, just enough.

Congratulations DJPK1978. Hi Tridome,

I finally got Safari to work on the WW website about 10 minutes ago. I had some weird preference problems. Its still not 100% perfect. The cargo tracking page downloads as if its a PDF document, but I can force it to open with Safari and then use it!

It was interesting to see how far in advance the car, tentatively named Wesley, was booked for the trip - March 29th.

The call sign for the Teal is S6HK so it can be tracked on http://www.oceanweather.com/data/

shanemcr · Apr 17th, 2004, 12:21 AM

Ack. Mine's not booked at all. And it's supposed to be done with production by Monday.

It's not me, it's MINI! My dealer already screwed up my order once (slot given to someone else) and now that my car is almost done, it seems it should have a seat on a boat.

Maybe Monday, when it's ready for transport.
