WEEK 23 SUPPORT THREAD OCD UPDATE:

This thread is now at #4 in the highest number of replies (after the stickies).

Keep up the good work.

I've ordered a Keg to be delivered when we reach MINItopia.
(I don't know what the rest of you might want to drink)

I'm on board with you! Just called my MA, and she scanned a document which said it left 6/7. The automated voice on ASK-MINI was 4-5 days late !!

Aren't you glad we're all week 23'ers....just think you could have been stuck over in the week 24 thread and missed all the fun.....we give them something to talk about!

on a side note....have you considered what you did with your life prior to finding the NAM website?...I can't remember anymore to be honest.

so go ahead and post...and keep pressing F5 repeatedly to see if you've gotten a reply.....we're all a bunch of addicts!

I know plenty of you are still waiting to hear if your MINI has made a boat yet. My MCS was completed on June 6 and I have been listening to Robovoice tell me for the last few days that “your vehicle is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel”. I was so desperate for information I Googled my VIN and now my MCS shows up on www.carfax.com. Try your VIN. So he exists but he is stuck in a parking lot somewhere in Southampton. I have checked W&W dozens of times per day but alas no news.

Good luck to all the MINIs on the water.

Well I was already an online addict even before [I don't even watch TV] but there were just 2 sites I go to everyday and that's Friendster [for the Gen Y] and just Yahoo! for my e-mail. My brother discovered NAM a month ago when we were looking for MINIs in PW just to check how they look. And then the rest is history! I don't even know what's going on on Friendster anymore!

---I didn't know about F5 until I read your post!

Are you sure you're not on the Sierra Nevada Highway? Have you called your dealer? I was completed on the 5th and made the SN Hwy....you might be there too!!

I sent my MA an email today asking if he knew anymore about the status because I know a lot of other W23ers have made it on different ships. I should receive an email from my MA tomorrow. I am trying to remain calm but I find myself watching the W23 forum all day looking for clues. I will get so much more work done once my MCS is parked in my garage. I'll miss you all!

Is anyone working on the W23 virtual reunion in W23 2009? Have we elected a committee? I would think the person that has posted the most to this forum has shown the leadership for chairpersonship responsibility. Or do we all just meet here again W23 of next year?

I would like to second the nomination to elect OWG as W23/'08 2009 reunion committee chair. Shall we vote? All in favor signify by the sign "Motor!".
