    Yippeeeee....

    Got a call from Clare at Menzies today. Car is "consigned". So should be either at Thorn distribution center or on it's way.

    However, because of the DVLA reggie transfer we won't have it until early June.:(

    Still, at least we know it's been built and is on its way.

    LOL. I knew you were gonna post something like that.

    It's not fair, you know, you get to test drive every MINI built before it's shipped to the dealer.:(

    And we thought they were all your MINI's, and all the while you were just giving them a good razz for the new owner.

    Mark, we shouldn't need to worry about the gear box issues, 'cos ours is an auto box, so is a completely different gear box. Besides I've been assured the reason our car has been delayed is because the gear box was being hand-built in a medically clean environment by Rolls Royce engineers wearing white cotton gloves.

    Fi, won't have the car for Thistle Run. Waiting on DVLA doing the transfer of Lenore's reg.:(

    To be honest, we're probably still looking at a couple of weeks before we pick it up.:( But at least it's here.

    I wouldn't worry about not having it for the thistle run. Saves it from getting it's front chipped with stones etc etc.
