Found out my car has completed production and is in final QA now!!!

The person I spoke to estimated it should leave the factory and head to Southampton by this Friday - he could not say which shipping company it would be on however. He suggested contacting my MA. I'll see what he can find out for me.

We're on our way now!

I should change my sig too - but just haven't got to it.....

Your MINI sounds awesome! Mine is a chili red convertible with H/K audio, cold package, comfort blue tooth and usb ipod. I can't wait! I found out my MINI is sitting in the Southampton port waiting for a ship. I checked the schedule and the next ship out is on 4/4. I would think it will go on that ship. Then an 8 day cruise, then a drive to my dealer, then to me!!!!!

Yours sounds sweet as well. I forgot I also got the iPod/USB, not comfort though. I wonder if mine will make it on the same ship if its built in the next day or so.

I see your loc is WC, PA. Is that West Chester? You getting yours from Otto's?

Just checked the WW track & trace site again and entered WMWMF7 as a CargoID. Sorted by date and then located the cars loaded onto the Elektra. There are 190 & I assume they're all MINIs!

The Elektra is going to Halifax, New York, Brunswick and finally Charleston.

Only 5 days until she reaches Halifax The suspense is killing me.

I've got a great MA though. Told him how I was tracking 'my' MINI and that once in Canada I can't track by rail. He told me that he can and that I'm to let him know once it arrives and he'll keep me posted. Nice.

Temps are finally getting warm here (70's today, possibly 80's tomorrow - crazy). Makes me wish I had just picked a MINI that was on the lot!

Only a few more weeks to go!!!

Looks like our MINIs will have the same birthday!
Maybe they'll end up on the same boat together.

I checked the W&W website again for my VIN - no results.
Looks like I may be on the K-Line boat. Oh well. I guess my MA is going to get used to me being annoying from here on out.

From a previous post, I think you said your car wouldn't go to Southampton until this Friday? My VIN didn't show up on the WW tracking site until my MINI was there for a couple of days. So don't give up yet! Keep checking for a few days after your MINI gets to southampton. The ASK MINI line (recording or person) should be able to tell you when it gets there. Good luck!

Might have something to do with Easter break. I read on motoring file that there was a door shortage. Go figure.

Today is a good day.
