y'all that are sitting on the dock of the bay may actually be in better shape than those of us who are rocking and rolling in the choppy Atlantic. I haven't been able to pinpoint the Sierra Nevada Highway (call sign: 3EIO4) as it isn't checking in, but Hurricane Laura is sitting off Nova Scotia in the North Atlantic... boo hiss...
Ladies and Gentlemen, please put on your life vests, it's going to get a bit bumpy. Barf bags are found in the seat pocket in front of you...

DooBahDoo, Jen and all the rest of the crew sitting around waiting, I think I have offically lost my mind (not hard when you're are dealing with items that small). I have been tracking the Fedora which is now due in Southamptom @ 5:00 local. I kkep checking the cargo tracking site, but so far, nothing. The real problem is Naz has his eye on a cute little Clubman he's been following thru production........

You ok? Hope this wait isn't making you crazy-
#605
JBM...same status here...been sitting since the 22nd as well. I think you, Draik, and I are the final four and I think we're all still getting mixed info. I gave up on the MOL site when my order details went blank and I get NO satisfaction on the 2wglobal site yet. I'm not sure how long it takes for the cargo manifest to get updated. I was hoping to see something today. I'm going nuts (didn't have to travel far). Hang in there! We're all in the same boat (Fedora I hope).
#606
Vivi, NO! I'm not doing well. Will you take me for a ride in Mocha? I will need a fix long before my Clubman gets here. I'll help you wash it or something...
#607
You'll be ok. (cue music... soft relaxing music... lights get low... chanting starts....ohhhmmmmyourminiiscomingohhhhmmmmmmm... repeat until you get "the call")

The hold up for all of us Right Coasties, according to my MA, has been the hurricanes (elik the one that is out in the North Atlantic Right Now... grrrrr)- with the big hurricanes out there, the cars weren't being shipped and they backed up at teh docks.
I'm guessing that Jake & I got on the boat just by sheer luck. You'll get on one soon. And remember, on WW you can actually make sure you car is on... on K-Line, you get to VDC a good 2 days earlier.
Ho hum.
Best of luck Jen and remember to chant.

JBM, Draik, Jen, and I have been sitting with you and are hoping to be on that ship too. Nothing on the 2wglobal tracking site yet. Let me know if you guys get an update. Fingers crossed here.

Jen, I agree...comfort and strength in numbers. Being able to wish people luck and send positive thoughts interrupts the personal pitty-party. I love reading these posts by people who ordered in September, went into production the next week, got out and on the same day rolled onto a boat and they'll be getting their car this weekend. What's up with that?...I'm happy for them but can we please get our cars before Halloween! I'm going to stay positive until I get news that I'm NOT on the boat today and then I'll be sad......and a little stressed.

See, now I'm stressing about exactly when it will be ready at MINI of Dallas for me to pick up. If it's the week of the 18th (which I suppose is unlikely at this point) I have to work every night and cant get over to Dallas to pick it up.
At the end of the rainbow I'll have 2 really cool things. A road trip and Duncan. <sigh>

Anyone want to rent a ship and just go pick up our cars ourselves? Perhaps a jumbo jet would be better.

This is my first brand new car ever too! I know I am better off then you guys because I am on a boat, but I was expecting my car this week and I won't get it until probably the 18th, the wait is annoying! it better be worth it!
#625
BTW, thanks Otra, it is about time. My first brand new car EVER and a I pick the one I have to wait 2+ months for.......brilliant! Now I'm just hoping the economic apocalypse that is so dramatically being called for doesn't keep it from me.

OK- y'all go get a boat and get your cars on it... I'll cheer you on by singing "row row row your boat"
(and with that, the room clears out!)
