I called yesterday and mine was waiting at the port for shipment. Do they ship to Charleston, SC or Brunswick, GA? My dealer is in Charleston.

 

Check the port loc on your vehicle inquiry report.
Charleston, SC (Port Loc = CHSPOA)
Brunswick, GA (Port Loc = SSIPOA)

 

Think I need to be added to the group as well.

2010 MCS BRG/Black roof & stripes.

 

Hey Eric, welcome and thanks for popping over! This has been quite the weird "build week" to say the least. As we're the first week for 2010s, there's been some growing pains and hiccups. So we're kinda a wide variety, even though we probably all should've been completed this week. But do to weirdness in Mini, a couple are just getting finished up.

None the less, welcome aboard and glad to see you here. Not only are we 36ers here, we're the first batch of 2010s. Do you know when you're due to be done? I'll add you to the list at the top, and we'll have another member in the circle of friends.

Thanks for the welcome...I'm due for completion on Sept 9th. Hoping to get it by mid October before we go to the beach for a week.

For a goof, thought I'd show you all a couple of classic minis I owned when I lived in England. I was in the Air Force and stationed at RAF Upper Heyford, just outside Oxford, 1987-1992. I actually owned 3 different minis, but I can't seem to find any pictures of my green one right now. (Yea, Oxford and the whole Cowley area were old stomping grounds for me, even been back a few times since 92. Still have a Cowley Honda keychain from a motorcycle shop across the street from the old main plant, and a keychain from North Oxford Garage)

 

Hi everyone, sorry for the newbie question, but where can one order a 2010 Mini Cooper S? I notice a lot of you have 2010 models on order but when I go to miniusa.com, I can't see 2010 models for build to order. Am I looking at the wrong place?

Your help is appreciated! Thanks.

 

You're not, MiniUSA just hasn't posted up the 2010 configurator yet. We all went to our respective Mini dealers and placed the orders. When at the dealer, you can see all the options and such on the system there.

I've read somewhere that MiniUSA is supposed to has the new configurator up by Sept 15th, though Mini started building the 2010s last week.

 

on the way to the port as of this morning

 

Better hurry, Yossarian! The boat is there now! (if you are East Coast...)

 

No I'm in SoCal, destination port is Port Hueneme CA. From WW's site it looks like I'll be on the Morning Caroline, departing Southampton 9/18, arriving Port H 10/8.

 

Cheers to all you W36ers from a W36/2006er!

 

I'm so envious!

I'm waiting to hear back from my MA with confirmation that the H/K code has been removed from my order and that production can now go forward. Maybe, just maybe, I can slip into this week's production, now.

Not sure whether mine will be headed to GA or SC (final destination is TN), so I guess I'll have to wait a little longer before I can start scoping out my favorite ship.

 

Damn, this ship has pushed a week now....and getting into Port H 6 days later from when I originally started looking. All this makes me sitting at the dock for 15 days...what a bummer.

Oh well, guess we'll be shipmates headed to the same port.

 

I do have a question though, something I can't seem to figure out. This departure schedule shows a (the) ship of "Morning Caroline". Yet, I can't locate this ship anywhere. And when you look at the fleet list for WW...not there...

That's weird, but I do remember from some of the other threads that folks were on the Morning Caroline, so I'm pretty sure it really does exist!! My production completion date is currently 9/13, so the fact that the date pushed from 9/15 to 9/18 helps me. I want to make sure I get on that boat! The next one to Port H is on 9/25.

 

The Morning Caroline is this ship

The ship is owned by this company. There is a cool video called, "Loading & Lashing Operations" that you can watch.

I got a page saying "non existent vessel" at the first link. I also couldn't find it when I searched by vessel name there.

 

See if this link works.

Cool video! I like seeing the cars get loaded into the "parking garage" of a ship, and then put their seatbelts on (the lashing part) for their boat cruise!

 

Many thanks...Finding Waldo was a bit perplexing...

 

For those planning to head out on the Morning Caroline (me for one), her schedule seems to be fairly unpredictable. Schedule now bumps to a Southampton departure of Sept 16th.

She's currently at Gibraltar steaming towards Bremerhaven, ETA of arrival Sept 13th 0100hrs.

Woo hoo! Talked to my MA this morning and he said that MINI had actually gone ahead and removed the H/K code from cars that had ordered it, rather than holding production on them, so my car is cleared for take-off, I mean production.

He said it may still be this week or next before I hit production, but he said he'll let me know as soon as it starts up! I'm scheduled for "Week 36 or 37 production," so all I can do is wait and see.

 

Good to see y'all moving along. While I'm no longer a 36er I hope to be a 48 or 49er. Depending on when the parts come in for the HK.

By the way...Mini sent me a stencil that says..."Mini Parking Only"
Did you get one?
