[FONT=Papyrus]"There has been a halt in shipping the MINI's....no joke. The truckers have gone on strike or they are in talks...so be patient, they will resolve this very shortly..they wont let it go on long."[/FONT]

On the other side of the pond they did. But I was told that it didn't affect us because BMW uses there own fleet of carriers... But if it does affect us, then I definitely didn't make the Fedora. 
That would also explain why I keep getting told that my car was released and waiting for a carrier to take it to the port of exit.

According to Brooke, my car is still showing up as En Route, so his system wasn't even confirming that it got into NY. He also told me about the truck that came in this morning, but I am pretty sure it didn't come on that truck haha.
I asked him about how long it would be at the VDC, he said usually 2-3 days and then it should be down at Ottos, so soon.... soon..... soooooonnnn

Looks like the strike is over. Whether or not it affected our minis is another question.

Man I hope I am riding the ferry with you! I still have no update on my '09. My MA told me not to worry. I guess that the car will sit at the VDC for a delivery on July 16th. Is that the info that you have gotten?
