So far I haven't been able to find a live feed of the dock, but here is a link for the actual VDC in Charleston. I just tried to find that live feed of the dock and it seems to be restricted. boo hoo...

(this is the VDC in Charleston, if you can't get thru on that link, go to google maps and plug in these codes: 34.896896, -82.178035)

Quick update kids! I stopped by MINI of Nashville today to check in and see what my next step is (i.e., when do I need to arrange for insurance, $, how the tags are handled as MiN is in a different county than I live, see if I could find an owner's manual, etc). One MA was off getting a car for some people who were buying off the lot (HUH?! And miss all this FUN?), one of MY MA's is in Jamaica getting married, the other was on his day off, and this left John Monk, who had a STACK of new owner packets (with manuals etc) in front of him, sweat dripping from his brow, and the phone ringing off the hook.
He did pause long enough to ask if my car had come in... I laughed and said mine had crossed the pond with his wife's car, and was somewhere either at the VDC or enroute to Nashville. He looked up and casually said, "oh, my wife's car is already here" HUH?! Well is MINE?! Nope. Still in SC I think...
That's ok, honestly it is. I am leaving tomorrow morning for Maine and won't be back for a few days and I certainly don't want to leave MochaLatte in my dear sweet lead footed husband's grasp! (insert evil laugh here).
Just thought I'd tell you my day- there certainly are some LOVELY MINI's that have just come in, including a black with silver clubbie S with a JCW kit and ALL the bells and whistles. I nearly fainted when I saw the sticker on that puppy. Didn't realize it also had the JCW package as well, but when I did I was able to start breathing again.

Vivi, we keep missing eachother at the dealership. I was there late this afternoon. I had to be in Nashville and stopped by to check in with Roger adn talk to John for a few minutes. Looks like you'll probably pick up a few days before I will. They had some great cars in the showroom and pending delivery. Can't wait to get mine and see Mocha! Have fun in Maine.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. My MA just called. She knew they got 10 cars in yesterday, but didn't know they had gotten 20 in on Wednesday (BMW and Minis at same dealer). They didn't get my baby done. Awful weekend now.
My hubby can't go with me to pick her up until Wednesday now. I can't take off work to go.
My MA offered to pick me up -- but my hubby wouldn't want me to go without him.

Stopped by the dealership yesterday and spoke with my MA. He said 10-11 days after hitting port Naz should be at the dealership (an extra 4 days at the VDC for aero kit install), but he did email the VDC advising them of the install, which should speed up the process somewhat. That puts the ETA at the 27th

I'm so relieved to finally have stumbled across other week 38'ers. I've been looking for you all on the OL guess I should've found this site sooner. I read through a good majority of the posts so I can pretend I had a group of folks to chit chat with during the long wait.
So happy to hear some of you are getting delivery soon/got delivery. I'm in Cleveland,OH & anxiously waiting for my MINI to get up here from Charleston.

On the Sierra Nevada Hwy that docked on 10/8. My MINI is pepper white with the black bonnet stripes, black mirrors & roof, black leatherette seats,16 bridgespokes, all season tires, cold weather package & alarm system. I'm so anxious to meet my MINI & drive it & name it. My first car was named but the second was a lease so I felt like it wasn't really truly mine & this car is the first car I've purchased on my own so it definitely deserves a good name!
