All Aboard MANON - Departing 3-28-08!

I just found out that my Clubman S is onboard the MANON, departing Southampton on 3/28/08. The schedule is as follows:

Port Country Arrival Departure

SOUTHAMPTON UNITED KINGDOM 28/03/2008 28/03/2008
HALIFAX, NS CANADA 04/04/2008 04/04/2008
NEW YORK, NY U.S.A. 06/04/2008 07/04/2008
BALTIMORE, MD U.S.A. 08/04/2008 09/04/2008
BRUNSWICK, GA U.S.A. 11/04/2008 11/04/2008

That means I should see my new baby by mid-April! Woohoo!

UPDATED 4/6/08: Manon successfully docked/left Halifax today. It is now on its way to NYC, with an updated arrival date of 4/8/08. Scheduled to leave NYC the same day. Will be interesting to see how long it takes from offload to VDC to dealer.

I'm on Manon also, with NY arrival. Do you know how long it takes them to get the car off the boat and to the dealer? Trying to figure out when I will start shopping interest rates....

I'm figuring a week from the time it docks in NY (April 6th w/no delays), goes through the VDC and is delivered to my dealer in the Philly area. Another day or so for them to prep it and it should be good to go. Of course I say that, but who knows? I'm just happy the car is on a boat making it's way here...

Yup, think so. I see that my Clubman was unloaded from the Manon at 8:15 yesterday morning. I don't know how far/long it takes to travel to the VDC, nor how long the vehicle will stay at the VDC.

I'll probably give MINI a call later today and see if it has left the VDC yet for travel to my dealer.

Pretty exciting! We're down to days/hours til delivery!

I just realized I posted to Mannon, mine missed it and wound up on Patriot. How did you find out when it was unloaded. Mine should be done today because Patriot leaves tomorrow...
