So my dealer said that the "Service Order" has been done. Was having Rally Lights installed at the port. She said it SHOULD go onto a truck tonight or first thing in the morning. I can come pick up B&S tomorrow!!! The ride from the VDC to the dealers is a grueling hour and a half.
She said, at the latest, Wednesday...

I ordered my MINI on the 7th of October 2011. It was put into production on the 11th but I didn't find that out until the 14th. MA says it went into Body Shop today, Status Code 151, so I guess the body was welded together today and will be painted tomorrow (all times Oxford I suppose). That would mean assembly on Wednesday and completion/checkout on Thursday. I have not been able to find out what ship it will be put on, no matter how hard I try or who I ask. When did you guys find out the ship name/date leaving/Port Loc/etc?

Greetings all. I've been browsing the forums for a few weeks now while not-so-patiently waiting for my MINI. I thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself. My little guy (tentatively calling him Thatcher) is booked on the Integrity to Baltimore next week. Any one else currently booked on the same ship?
He'll be my very first MINI. I drove my aunt's 2002 MCS one weekend. We have a lot of roundabouts here in Indy and zipping thru the first one was the kiss of death to my 2007 Mazda 3! I placed my order for Thatcher about a week later.

I think this is the worst part of the wait so far. Knowing that the car is complete but not knowing when it will get here is tough! It'll all be worth it as soon as they get here!

Ok...I ordered my clubman on October 2, taking a dealer slot. My MA gave me my production number the next week along with saying production would be week 44. The owners lounge just says on order, and ask mini says scheduled for production but no production date set. So, where did my MA get the date? And why on earth would it take a month to get production started? Reading through this thread, it seems like others with a dealer slot only wait a week or two for production. Are there certain options that slow things down?

Tough to say I suppose it depends on if any accessories are to be installed at the VDC in Baltimore or if any damage occurred in shipping My MA has been pretty silent on timetables, but I was guessing about a week from Baltimore to Indianapolis.

My coupe is in Quality Check also! Now there is the expectation and wait for a ship. Hopefully they won't have long to wait to catch a ride over!

I think it's because it is a clubman. I believe they tool up/schedule clubmans once a month, so its just a matter of when they will build the next batch, hence the delay.

I am a bit baffled by the shipping info my MA sent me. My car is some where on a boat heading for Port Hueneme in Cal, and scheduled to dock around Nov 9. I can't find any ships on that schedule. Anybody out there heading to the West Coast in this time frame. I would love to track the ship through the Panama Canal, but my MA does not know the ships name. She thinks it left Bremerhaven around Oct 15. Ideas?

@sk8erMom ask your MA for the boat name if she doesnt know have her ask her manager. They can look it up for you. If i could do it in my system i would, but they definitely can give you a boat now. I will try and see if we have any cars on an 11/9 boat and see what the name is for you because there is a good chance it is the same boat.
But your MA should definitely be able to look that information up for you.
edit: ok so here is the boat that I have cars on that dock on the 9th of November. It should be the same boat that yours is on because it is an all countryman boat for us and it looks like you also ordered a ctm all4. Ok so the name is ALTAIR LEADER left BREMERHAVEN on 10/13 and arrived at the port here in CA on 11/09!
