yea i signed up for alerts on vessel tracker. It sent me an alert at about 10 this morning saying it was in range, Then at about 1:30 it sent me another saying it was no longer in range. It is a few days behind. I showed up for a while on one of the sites this morining but who knows it may have sank

That threw me also, initially. The original 'How to Track Your MINI' post was very informative, but one thing I did learn: WW seems to be the primary contract holder, and then subs out the cargo to other ships where it can. In my case, it was a pleasant surprise, as the next available WW ship was two weeks out from when I landed at the dock. But then it showed being assigned to the VOLANS LEADER, which, as you said, not a WW ship, yet trackable through WW. Though note al they ever had on record was leaving Southampton ans arriving in Port Hueneme, basically. I tracked the ship, when I could, using the Marinetraffic site instead.

I wish I would have known that the Visual boost could have been ordered....rats! And my car just started production this week. I missed it by that much.

I'm in a different country and belive my car came with Visual Boost because of the Code Mix up, but since I ordered it I still got charged.. From what I've heard, they just started to take orders for Novembers Builds, so you should be one of the first who "oficially" get it!
Cheers!!

All the early info at the dealer seems in question to me at this point since they told me the aero kit wasn't available and that visual boost was an accident, as motoring file said, here in the states. It wasn't on their order form at least. That said, it is a standard option outside of the us market...

Owners Lounge
I don't know about that. The Owners Lounge, right now, says that Lil Guy is still at the Distribution Center awaiting shipment. Lil Guy is at the dealership, and has been there since Monday morning. As for your tracking yours, I don't know what to tell you. Just figure that it's about 10 days from Southampton to POE in Baltimore, a day longer to Savannah and I have no idea to the West Coast, probably 6 days or so.

New Mini!
Hey, looks really great. What are all the options that put on him? By the way, just for the record, I asked my Motor Adviser about how come my Lil Guy looks more like a 4-wheel drive car as it sits so high. She told me that they are all shipped with spacer blocks. The funny thing is, she says that they get some Mini's in from other areas that still have these spacer blocks inserted. Hilarious, I'll bet the owners really kind of wonder why their Mini rides so rough and sits so high.:

Visual Boost
Really like that Visual Boost. If I'd have known how to order it, I'd have done so. I have no idea yet, whether mine was one of the Visual Boost mistakes. I, rather doubt it.

Hemi, the way it works here is we get three versions for the Cooper S: Salt, Chili and Hot Chili. I got the Hot Chili one. It includes every option except for Heated seats and Comfort access. I additionally ordered the Adaptive Headlights which are not on the official order guide but since I ordered through the Manager it was specially made, hence the Visual Boost If you really feel like reading I'll post all the options just for kicks.
