Week 31 2008 Support... anyone?
#176
I MISSED the boat - boohoo! My baby wasn't born until today, (the 4th) and is now finished and waiting transportation. I am reading the week 32 thread too (which I started posting on, but got bumped to week 31). I am confused though - which week IS my Mini - week 31 or 32? I noticed a couple others who are posting there - yet they were moved up too, and their Mini's are born.
Anyway - looks like I should get on the Independence sailing on the 9th. That's too bad.. the other car I ordered (and then cancelled) just 3 DAYS prior, is on a boat and will arrive in GA on the 14th!! The Independence won't make it until the 25th. I need to have patience!!

Looks like my MINI didn't make it onto the Elektra. I guess that means it will be on the Independence leaving Southampton the 9th. If that's the case, it's been sitting there in the dusty ol' port since the 30th. Or maybe it got onto a K-Line...no way of knowing I guess.

Hey, don't give up hope yet. The Elektra isn't scheduled to depart until the 5th, which is tomorrow. If you aren't showing up in WW's tracking by 5:00pm tomorrow, then it's safe to say you didn't make it.

Give up all hope on the Elektra.. just looking at their website again and it is in "red" meaning it has set sail already. Let's hope we all get on the Independence II on the 9th! That's just 5 more days... It also looks like it is taking an extra day to get to GA though.. I need more patience!!!

I'm a little confused, where are you seeing that the Elektra doesn't leave until tomorrow? According to this schedule, it leaves (left) today (Aug. 4th) http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...pe=generatePDF
Also, if you look at the ship tracking site: http://www.ais-live.co.uk/AIS%20Live...uthampton.html
You'll see that the Elektra has moved south of the UK and well into open waters since I checked on it earlier today. I didn't make it on, so am waiting now for either the Western Highway on Aug. 8th or the Independence II on Aug. 9th.

I've decided that I'll just be surprised if mine makes it on within a week or so. Decided this that I want the driving lights and so called my MA and on his advice, I'm having the driving lights installed at the VDC instead of at the dealership. He said that would add about 3-4 days there!!
Well they had quoted me 6-8 weeks and it has only been 10 days, so I'll just let my Mini work on it's tan on the docks and let the paint cure and the cosmoline that I've been reading about drip off!!

gbsim. gee... I really would kinda like those rally lights too. I am on the fence with it -- same with the bonnet/boot stripes, but if I am to get the rally lights - I better do so quick!
I was quoted 4 weeks... first 2 cars (I cancelled) are going to most likely make that, but my car is going to be 5+ weeks.

I love the look of the extra lights and the stripes. According to my MA, he feels more comfortable with having the lights installed at the VDC if there is a choice. He said that they were the people who trained the installers at the dealership and they were the real pros. So if you know ahead of time, in his opinion, get the stripes and lights done there.... plus it was a little cheaper than the dealership labor rate.

Looks like most of us are playing the waiting game at the dock. When I called the dealership today, they said that sometimes the production goes faster than the boat space availablility and you get a situation like we're experiencing where they sit and wait for an empty slot on the boat!
I think I'll start reading the owner's manual online!

So, unfortunately you will have to wait for WWs ship. But, the plus side is you'll have full tracking capabilities with WW, whereas with K-Line, you'll have none.
Good luck on catching that next ship!

I just got an e-mail from my MA telling me that my MINI that finished production on July 28th actually got on the boat Sierra Nevada Highway that left Southhampton on Friday. He explained that sometimes even there information is delayed because my MINI was still showing that it was at the port yesterday. Maybe some of you are in the same situation.
