The phone rang about 15 minutes ago and it was my MA (yes, I don't have a mere salesperson I have a "Motoring Advisor"). Quite funny since I had just looked up the dealership's phone number to give them a call myself! So he must have felt my anxious vibe...
He said my Cooper should arrive at the dealership today (my gut tells me its already there)... we finalized my added option -- iPod adapter, white bonnet stripes, floor mats, alarm system, and window tinting...
And now I think we can safely move onto the "final stage"....
"Your MINI is now being transported to your MINI Dealer. We know it's hard, but please be patient just a bit longer. Once it arrives, your dealer will give it one last shine and clean bill of health. Then they will call you and set up a time for you to stop by and happily head home in your new MINI."
So.... I am tentatively picking up my MINI... drumroll please... Friday afternoon... Hurray!!
So, now the countdown can switch to hours!! Yipee!!

Alright! Be sure to post a photo of the bouncing baby Mini and don't forget it's new license plate! I think a half day of vacation is in order for Friday PM.

Just got the call from our dealer today (Wed), and will be picking it up on Saturday. It's been fun sharing the experience!

Congratulations! How exciting! I'm sure you'll be zooming away this weekend. You're so lucky! Mine is still on it's way to the US...just a few more weeks.
