Waiting in Port...

Hi,
My new Mini was born on January 12th and loaded on the ship on the 16th and still in dock (according to the shipping website). How long does it take to load a ship?

I am so excited to be getting this car! It must be because you can customize a Mini- it feels more special than ordering a "normal" car. I have always felt that car manufacturers should always give more than 2 interior color choices!!

My Mini is HB/BK, Tuscan Beige, premium, cold weather, rear fog, Xenon, chrome line interior

5 Days is a long wait for ships to depart Oxford, if I remember right Molly's ship the Trianon was underway in a matter of a couple days after she got loaded.

Believe me there are plenty of people here who were just as excited as you are to FINALLY be able to meet YOUR MINI (Me Included)...be patient. Picture your MINI relaxing on the Deck with a Tall Glass...Mixology...get it!!

One never knows exactly what going on in the shipping world, continue with the patience, who know it may sail tonight. Good luck

Perhaps the ship is undergoing repairs.

Could the delay be that because of the ships unique cargo, a request was made for large quantities of fish and chips and stout?
