This whole experience of ordering a car is really a trip... I can recite my production number, I know the VIN by heart, I've developed a fascination with ship schedules and tracking, I feel like I've been to the port of Bremerhaven because I've looked at the satellite imagery so often (same for the Magna Steyr plant in Graz)... And so on.

almost there
So my status on the miniusa.com site has been at "awaiting transport" for a month now. On a hunch, I went ahead and used k-line to track my VIN and to my surprise found my car on the Turandot and nearing NYC. Hopefully the crew is safe, what with Sandy rampaging through the east coast yesterday. I'm expecting a huge delay at the NYC/NJ VDC, but it's totally understandable. I would rather see the ship's crew safe and sound and NYC/NJ get back on it's feet than moan and complain about my car getting here on time. So, all my best wishes and prayers go out to the crew of all shipping vessels and NYC/NJ!

Last known location I traced was right off Boston. The ship should already be arriving by now, but I guess not anymore.

Those of you that have recently acquired your MINIs, what kind of programs/plans/etc did you end up adding on at delivery?
My dealer requires an IBEX paint protection for all their cars. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Worth the money? Should I get a different kind of paint protection?
