Like ais-free?

I checked WW site and it says Pt. Hueme today some time
Try this and/or this and report back. When I tried earlier this morning, I couldn't find it, but it may have popped up now.

Did anyone follow the Fidelio's progress to Port Hueneme?--I spotted it off Baja California, but haven't followed it since then. I guess I dropped the ball, eh?
Sorry guys we have surgery cases today. My boss has sons who surf there. I'll find out tomorrow if they were there today. Marg the charge for install is cheaper at the VDC. The MA said driving light install is $500 at the dealer and $100 less at the VDC. Any add on last minute stuff has to be arranged 1 week before it hits the VDC.
Where is my car?

Still in port

When I checked back, it showed a directional adjustment of the ship from my first view, so I thought that meant that it was heading out to sea, but alas, it's still there as of 3:18pm. I heard through the grapevine that they are having problems with some unruley Pepper White MINIs who don't want to leave the buffet line!

Tell them to get their dessert and clear the decks. The BRG MINIs want to go home!

I know, I know, we're all chompin' at the bit to get our MINI's through the VDC right quick--especially the BRGs!

For your reading pleasure, I have put together a "inside the VDC" website list:

Number 1
Number 2
Number 3
And how about this story!

Enjoy.

Hey, now... Pepper Whites are the most dignified of MINIs! I can't imagine any of them becoming unruly!!

Has anyone seen discharged when looking at the status of their car on the WW site?
Has anyone's owners lounge changed from enroute to at VDC either?

The WW site indicates that the Fidelio has left CA. Yeah-hopefully only after taking our cars off though


Sorry but I am antsy too about getting my car.
And I am sure my pepper white did not hold up progress

I just checked the WW site and it looks like all the MINI's were discharged at 2:18am this morning. It must have been a mad dash off the ship for all 277 MINIs!

The OL still shows "En route."

When I asked on 11/16, I was told to expect it somewhere around 12/15. Your new ETA is probably more accurate, but I like to be even more optimistic!--Let's start thinking 12/7!
