Great news D00b :D
Boy is it gonna be a long week though, but well worth the wait.

Look forward to seeing yourself and Sprocket at one of our future meets or runs :cool:

Welcome to Newminiscotland d00b!

The rule is all new mini's must be publicly displayed upon arrival - piccies please!

I presume it's a glasgow dealer you're getting it from? Douglas park?

There is a nice wee run organised for the sunday which will go a long way to help you putting those precious miles onto your car.

April 6th, meet at the Big W carpark, Harry Lauder Road in Edinburgh at 10.30 - 11.00am.

See you there maybe :question:

Sprocket is black by the way.. need to get him some clear repeaters pronto viva stylee! I'm getting him from Harry Fairbairn who have been excellent with me so far :D So as soon as I pick him up its the Eaglesham moors road methinks :evil:

Hang on in there Moorf, it won't be long now :cool: Sound like you may need to console yourself with some more MINI retail therapy in the meantime though :D Julz, Linda.... look out that accessories brochure will you'z ... ;)

[Moorf]

:D:D Oh yes... have seen some smashing door-handle chrome inlays

Haven't got my luggage yet *hint hint Mr Moorf* ;)

Oh and... and... and...

[Linda M]

That's what I like to hear :D:D

[Julz]

Ah, another for the 'must have everything', if you need to know about any accessories, just ask me or Linda!!:I However, must have and can't afford seem to be in the same criteria for me just now!:dead:

[d00b]

Arse Arse Arse Arse with arse on top! Not getting it till next Tuesday as the trasfer of my private plate is not going to go through on time :(

Worth the wait, however annoying :) I had an extra wait due to plate transfers too !!

[Willie M]

Hang in there d00b, you know it's going to be worth it :cool:

[Moorf]

Argh, we have to transfer our plates too.... what can we do to make sure they transfer on the day we pick up car?

Plus, for anyone who has recently got their car - what week were you promised the car in and what week did you actually get it in... we have been told being built week 15 which, I believe, may be next week :D:D:D:D:D but can't be sure - if someone could give me a date and week no. it would keep the blood pressure down ;)

Moorf

[Moorf]

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO we rang the dealer today and.... *drum roll*


IT'S BUILT!!!!

However, :( will be a bit of a delay cos have to get plate transfer done.... but at least we know she's on her way (yes hubby, definitely a "she" ;) ) !!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Ok, need to get a name sorted for HER now!!

[d00b]

We were told we would get ours late March :(

In all fairness the delay is not with them now as its the Local DVLA ofice that is chocka so have to wait on them otherwise it would be here.... ah well 2pm Tuesday and its mine all mine Woo Ha Ha Ha (sorry) :)

The dealer transferred mine over, but if you go to the DVLA office in Dundee yourself, they're transferred immediately!!;)

[Moorf]

Julz - that's ideal - our dealer is due to sort it as he's just got the chassis number but I think I'll call them tomorrow and see what we can sort out with Dundee!!

Top tip!

Thanks
Moorf

[d00b]

They used to do it on the spot in Glasgow too but because its soo busy at the moment its a few "working" days :(

[Julz]

Good luck!!

[Moorf]

Awwwww, rang Dundee DVLA and they said we could go and take our doc's ourselves however they are too busy and so it would still take 3-4 working days to process :mad:

Oh well, at least we're on the final countdown and are pretty sure we'll get it in time for the Easter weekend :)

...and in the meantime... where did you leave that MINI accessories catalogue lying Moorf??? ;)

Believe me, we feel your pain with the extra wait :( Console yourself in the knowledge that it will be soooooo.. worth it :cool:

[d00b]

Got it Got it Got it Got it Got it Got it! oh I got it. Done just over a 100 miles in it, absolutely fabulous :) The clutch is a bit "sticky" but is easing off already just a superb little car to drive w00t! Photos to come :)

[Julz]

Happy then??:p

[Willie M]

Congrats D00b :cool:
