woo hoo! I logged onto the Owners Lounge this morning and they have changed my status to "En Route"
WW doesnt show any cargo with his VIN, and not sure what K Line ship that would mean he was on. Anyone know what ships left in the past few days? K Lines schedule only shows ships leaving after the 20th now.

Who was/will be the 1st to get a 2012 JCW Hatch? And where are you located? Mine and several others are on the TORRENS, but I wont see mine for a few more weeks.

Thanks SC - those are the standard wheels for the hatchback this year. I liked them better than the other options myself, and yeah they are kinda quirky. My favorites for the base hatchback are last year's standard wheels I had on my 2011, but they don't offer those at all now AFAIK.

Congrats on your MINI. You should be motoring in no time! It looks good but will be better on the ground. It looks a little precarious up there on the car carrier!

I was surprised to receive the pics. Just got confirmation a few minutes ago that I will take possession Monday morning.

I'm glad I saw it early - when I take delivery it will have the winter wheels installed.

Funny...I have actually never seen the EG in person on a car, but the second picture of your car looks like it has a hint of olive green in from that angle...interesting.

I have heard that EG sometimes has slight green tint to it in certain lighting conditions.

Hi Orionizer - yep, I bet I am equally happy. This 2012 seems better than my 2011 - smoother clutch and quieter ride. For the record:

2012 MC Hardtop
Velvet Silver Metallic
Carbon Black interior
MINI Connected with NAV
Premium Package
Technology Package
Universal garage door opener
Sunroof
Sport Seats
Heated Seats
Compass mirror
Foglights
Zenon headlights
Dynamic Traction Control
blah, blah, blah !

I wish it was mine! Not sure where mine is. Might be at VDC in Baltimore, on the road on top of a truck, forgotten about in a corner of a ship. I sure a hell don't know. I am just waiting for a sign.

Yes it was! My sales manager was driving into work and it was on the highway. Later last night the same truck and car arrived at the dealership. I'm not sure what the odds were of him capturing the pic, but the truck was near the end of a 1.5-2 hour drive from the train depot into the city.
