I wonder who is going to be first...next.

i call "not it"

:)


eh, when mine comes it comes...no real rush, just not sure how it is getting from Austin to my house...700 miles that I can't travel for over a month...so it either sits at the dealership for a couple of weeks minimum or Austin finds a way to get car from there to me...

so i still have enough unresolved issues that I don't think I will be getting my car before the C version is on US roads... :)

Gavin-

I think by the time you get yours, it will be marqued "Finale Edizione" The logo on the badge will be a skull and crossbones.

If somebody makes me that badge, I just might have to put it on the dash  :)


I remain strangely hopeful...maybe because I haven't had a car in 6 years and don't NEED a car...so this is all just luxury for me...Still the wait and hoops are, as I've said before, baffling.

Eh, it's beautiful out...going for a ride...will ride by the Apple store (1 lovely mile from my house) and if the line isn't long, will pick up an iPad 2 to treat myself :)

Yep, Jobs will deliver a million of those tomorrow in one day, but can Laura deliver 500 cars? How about 4 or 5?

The dealers that are up and running can now do that. The thing is there are a lot of them still waiting for licenses, permits, construction.  It's been 3½ months since the dealers were picked and I guess, it's not a lot of time get everything done. I've heard it took MINI 6 months to get their network up.

That's my observation of what's happening.  Now that the first Prima was delivered, let's see what happens.
Hopefully, as more cars go out, things will become a little less stressful.

Here's to hoping.
