From what I've read on these boards the 24th sounds pretty legit. Unfortunately in my case, I bought my MCS through MINI's Military Sales Program while overseas. My MINI actually made it to the states before I have, I've got about another month until I get back, but I'm trying to set it up so I can pick it up a day or two after hopping off the plane.

Lucky for you. Tombarra is arriving in NY/NJ on Sunday @ 4AM, therefore you should get yours sooner than the NYC residents. VDC is in NJ

I'll see. I asked my MA. If he thought I would have the car before Memorial Day and he said "maybe." It's so close.....

Mine finally changed to "En Route" this morning on the OL also. ASKMINI had that yesterday. Still not showing up on the WW site. Thanks for posting the ship's position!

Thank you. Still no ride for me yet. But the Manon is due in Southampton tomorrow and the Medea is due in Southampton on the 21st. Fingers crossed. If I end up on a K-line ship I probably won't know anything until the car gets to the US

Picked up Sargent today! A bit freaked out about driving home on the freeway, after such a long wait I did not want any road debris scratching the paint... not only that after being in a loaner MCS for a week it was weird driving the taller CMS. No issues for me with the TDTD discount; went with the tire/wheel protection, picked up cross bars and got a great finance rate! Let the upgrades begin... can you see the upgrade from today? The other upgrade from today, the GoBadge carbon stubby is hidden by the sunlight.. Tint in the AM.
