What's the name of the shipping company other than Wallenius that Mini uses? And do they also allow you to track by VIN?
No they don't track by VIN. Your MA should be able to give you info. That's how I found out when my ship left.

I'm also wondering how long it will take to get from point of entry to San Antonio.

So I noticed that the WW site shows that the ship has left the port in Panama. Did anyone manage to catch the ship on the webcam?
I had a program collect a bunch of snapshots from the camera feed. But I haven't seen anything that looked like the ship. Several Maersk Sealand container ships went by, but I think the car carrying ships look different.
Any thoughts? At least it is nice to be one stop closer. Next stop...port hueneme and (for my car) disembarkation.

Thanks for the great picture of the "Caribbean Highway". I've been looking for a picture for many days now. Our Mini will be delivered to Charleston on the 6th of December, hopefully without any dings/dents. LOOK OUT FOR ICE BERGS!!!

I ordered my MCS from San Antonio! It just arrived in port a couple of days ago so they might get to the dealership around the same time. Right now I am in Florida and will not be back to pick up my car until the 21st so if you see a Dark Silver/Black MCS say hi to it for me...

I will indeed say hi to your baby if I see it when I pick up mine. I'm curious, did you opt for a sunroof? I heard lots of warnings about doing so in the Texas heat because of the poor sun blocking of the screen, but I got it anyway because of the great feeling of openess that it offers.
I am planning on getting window tint on the car as well as the sunroof. Hopefully that will help out on having the sun bake me when I am driving...
So what part of Austin are you from? My girlfriend lives in South Austin near mopac and Slaughter. I will be visiting her over my Christmas break so you might see me motoring around!

I think I'm on there with all of you on the Caribbean Highway. My MA said it would arrive in port on Dec 6 and hopefully get to Houston/Woodlands Dec 11-13. If it arrives on the 13, the bad news is I'll be out of town...
Hey there fellow Texans! Looks like our MINI's will arrive in less than 2 weeks if there aren't any delays at the VDC.

My MA said it could add up to a week extra, so if you were expecting delivery this week then it'll be next. I'm in the same boat, I'm getting driving lights installed at the Distro Center.

The sales manager at my dealership implied that if I ordered by a certain time, they'd be able to install the iPod package at the VDC; otherwise, the implication was that it'd be done at the dealership. I never really understood that, and I never investigated any further because my order was already in when he was telling me this. If I were to place a bet, I'd say at the VDC.
#198
It depends on how you ordered it. It can be done either way, though it is generally (unless you get a deal when you order) cheaper when done at the VDC.

Count me in for the Maersk Wind! There are 157 mini's on the ship, and I'm stoked that mine is one of them.
Has anyone else noticed that this (and other) threads get a little confusing with all the different ships? I didn't realize that there were multiple orders and ships in the the production week 46.

I'm in central Austin, just west of downtown...I imagine I will be spending a good amount of time in my MINI late December, so we may indeed see each other on the road!
