My ship, the Torrens was a day late getting out of port, but it was lucky for me because that delay resulted in my car getting on the ship. So, a delayed ship may or may not be a problem.

 

I've been periodically checking marinetraffic.com to see if she left the port - not yet.

 

My car is in the "body shop". Estimated completion is Nov 17!

 

YeeHa!! My MA called a while ago and said a truck pulled up with what looks like my car on it. I will pick it up today at 4:00PM. Of course, we are getting our first big rain in what seems like years, so far no hail.

 

My car is sitting in Germany, waiting for a ship. I feel kind of sorry for the people at Ask Mini, since they are probably getting to know me by now....

 

Had a look yesterday and according to CN Rail tracking (www.cn.ca) my car was at the Toronto rail yards, with final stop North of Toronto today. Checked with the trucking company MINI Canada uses (www.lhf.com/hansens) and I found my JCW should be on a truck as of today, delivery date on or before 21Nov2011. The truck drive is only 2 hrs so I am really hoping it is sooner than that.

MA says I may take delivery next Monday or Tuesday! (Maybe sooner?? )

 

Tober, meet NAM --- NAM, meet Tober Hi !!

Picked up at 4:00 11/15/11

 

The long wait is finally over. I picked up my JCW Coupe last night. Here's a photo next to my 2004 JCW MINI Cooper.



More photos in this thread.

 

That's a great looking coupe!

 

Finally! Picking up JR, my 2012 MCS, Saturday morning!Will be driving my wife nuts until then!

 

CONGRATS! You actually picked up BEFORE I DID! I got there at 3:30, but me an my MA shot the crap for about 2 hours or so afterward...

 

PS - I'm outta gallery space here - waiting until I can get the few bucks to upgrade my account and I'll upload pickup day pics!

 

:-( Doesnt look like I made this weeks boats either.

 

Setup a free flickr account then "share" and then use the "BB" link URL.

MA latest update... truck delivery is Friday. Next week is busy and may not be able to pick her up until at least Tuesday.

@jamesday24: Nice colour choice on your JCW.

 

Anyone else on the Independence II. Should have docked at Baltimore but I am not getting any new information from the WW website. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what is going on with that ship. Is there any way to find out?

 

Thanks! I'll try that!

 

Pardon me for being dumb, but what is a "BB" url? I've setup the flickr account and am uploading as we speak, btw...

 

Maybe this will work in the meantime?

Paste that link in your forum posting and it should show up when you submit your post... Like this... my winter wheel set waiting to be installed on my new JCW next week.

I meant to also say, the clear bra is really great! I've heard of standard bras causing mildew and other issues.

I had the clear bra on my first 2005 MCS and never regretted it!

 

When I click on Share, it does a drop down and only has:

Grab the link

Here's a link to this photo. Just copy and paste!

I don't see any options for BBCode...
