Well it's not easy to wait, but I spent the last 5 days preping, painting (epoxy), then 2 coats of epoxy clear coat on my garage floor. All this for my new baby, the good thing is my wife thinks its great. She even likes all the new things showing up at the front door (ie..OZwheels and tires, misc). Went around to a couple local tuning shops today for kicks to talk shop and see what is available locally. Once we get a little closer, I will make appointments for the full front clear bra, and custom stripes. Still trying to decide if I'm going to install the suspension and sway bars myself
, still have to make the finally decision on which coilovers I'm going to go with...decisions, decisions

That would be great. Thank you. Would he be doing it on the side, or at Tempe Mini? Thanks

I have been tracking my MINI thru the entire production process, to sitting on the dock, to about a week ago getting confirmation from my MA that it was on the Bishu Highway, scheduled for Brunswick on the 9th (now the 10th before it gets there, its still about 100mi out). I Was watching the Bishu long before it docked in Southampton to pick up my MINI (Tober) because I suspected that the timing was right. Can't confirm VIN's on the K-Line like on WW, but I have a printout from my MA about the shipping. Will be trucked here to my location on Waggoners Trucking out of Billings MT, more than likely.

Have you checked out the thread about tracking your MINI thru production and shipping? Its a sticky in this 1st Gear forum. That's where I started and just became overly ****-retentive from there

Gratz, that AIS map is pretty cool. I just spotted the Torrens in the English Channel on it's way to Southampton, hopefully picking our cars.
Here's the link.

Thanks for that! Showing up as moored this AM!
Does anyone from the Winston-Salem, NC area have an ETA on how long from Brunswick to WS?

What a disappointment! My MA ordered my car wrong (forgot to enter the black roof and mirrors) so he had to give me a new production slot because I didn't catch the error until after the car got a VIN. The WRONG car is now loaded on the Torrens sitting at Southampton which leaves tonight for Port Hueneme. The RIGHT car made it to the port last night and it was actually sitting there when the Torrens docked, so I thought I had a chance, but it looks like it's not going to make it on the ship (no VIN match on WW website). The next ship doesn't leave for 12 DAYS! Couldn't be more frustrating! Excuse me while I go put my fist through the wall!

No need to get confirmation from your MA. Just go to the link below and put your VIN in the Cargo ID line and hit "track".
https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage
If it's on the ship it will give you details. If it's not, it will say "No Record Found".

Ok, I don't know if because I'm on an iPad but there is no "track" icon, or anything that will allow me to search. Would you do me a huge favor and see if my baby is with your WMWSV9C55CT199665 pleeeease 
Thank you in advance
