I'm so over work right now. Everyone wants to go look at the car but I'd rather get out and motor. So I've already made 2 trips outside to talk about the car with co-workers. And everyone comes in wondering where my MR2 is, and if the MINI is mine because I'm one of only 2 or 3 people who back into their spots in the whole company. But of course since we're a software department, it's 9:20 and only half the team is in so far.
How does the new JCW sound and run?

Okay I am confused, maybe one of you can help. I have been tracking the Morning Celine since it left Southampton last month. Well it shows it almost all the way to the Panama Canal on 4/24 and then the next update is 5/1 and it shows it back in the English Channel. My MINI is supposed to arrive in Port Hueneme on 5/5. Does WW line use a different boat to bring cars to the west coast. This would require a ship change before the Panama Canal. What gives?????

Hi cop1406. I remember when I was tracking the Undine, there were actually two Undines. One was in the English Channel when mine was almost finished my trip. I had to learn the call sign (or is it call letters?) so that I was tracking the correct one. I'm sure that's the case with the Celine. They don't change ships midway - no worries......

This link will take you to the WW itinerary for the Morning Celine.
http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...ring=CD014-MGE
As you can see, it left Panama on April 27, 2010 and is expecting to arrive in California May 5, 2010.
Also, I've been tracking with vesseltracker.com, which seems to be the most accurate out of all the AIS sites, and I actually saw it come out of the Panama Canal on April 27, 2010, and then shortly after it lost communication with the site. Which then marinetraffic and sailwx reported the Morning Celine to be in the English Channel. Pretty sure that's a bug in the AIS system since it hasn't been updated after that.

Thanks for the info. Is your car on the same boat? I am picking mine up on the 20th. I am flying to L.A. and booked my flight with plenty of leeway for the dealer to get my car prepped. I can't wait. Two more weeks.
Don't worry, AIS isn't the best tracking system, and the websites are even worse at tracking them. The most accurate information is from WW.

It's getting harder and harder to concentrate as the days get closer.

So, don't feel bad. Are you getting it today? [edit: now that I re-read your post, I see you will be getting it tomorrow]

I agree, better now than later. I am taking my baby back to the dealer today to get the 3m Invisishield installed (the guy that does them doesn't work weekends) and to get my racing stripes fixed (there are some discolorations in the stripes that the VDC installed).

I've definitely seen the silver lining in that they've found and are fixing it which is great. I just worry that with MINIs not being known for their reliability this maybe a sign of things to come.
No word yet on when it will be ready.
@christo4ferris: hope all goes well with the stripes

Put in perspective, I just drove a Nissan Altima loaner (not positive of the year, but very recent) and I felt like I was floating on some springy platform disconnected from any sense of . There was LESS legroom than my MINI and the seats weren't very comfortable (IMO). I can't wait to get back in a car that is fun to drive, that lets you feel the road, and that has some decent legroom.
Hope they resolve your audio issues and that there are no other issues. Can't wait to see some pics!

Definitely made me feel better about my purchase lol.
