For tracking the ship - is that available on the "Wallenius" site?

Yep, that's the place. It will be out of range once it gets into more open water, but hopefully we can track it again once it gets closer to Panama.

Hey everyone,

Just signed up, but was lurking for a while before deciding to take the plunge. I must say that this forum was really helpful with option selection.

Onto the fun stuff - just ordered a MCS in pepper white with black top and mirrors, convenience and style packages, and a few other standalone options (I think Canadian option packages are different than US ones). Build date is early April, with delivery at the end of April. 2 long months away....

I'll be honest - it's going to be tough hearing about all your deliveries while I anxiously await mine. Something to look forward to, I guess.

Looking forward to many years of fun motoring with this Mini!

Cheers,
Mark

The BISHU HIGHWAY has left Baltimore and Red the Third is nearly in Brunswick! Now to get the 08 sold.... With luck I'll pick up the new one next weekend and sell my old one almost simultaneously.

It won't be long now--mine was on the same route last week on the California Highway and I'm picking mine up today! Good luck!

My ship is now out of range. Does anyone know how long it takes before I can start tracking it again?

Anyone else waiting on the Florida Highway?

Will hopefully be in range of Baltimore in the next couple days, then down to Brunswick. Looking forward to seeing my all Black MCS in a few more weeks!

I thought WW was the only line that went to brunswick ga. Does the K-line go there too? Based off WW schedule the earliest Salazar would get to the VDC would be the 17th of march.

Yes, we picked up Sprout yesterday! Glad it felt like a Sprout when driving home or I would have had to rename him (her) Merry Bell (it was a Christmas gift!) Don't have too many miles yet--I've been working on my settings, figuring out how things work and working on shifting smoothly again (it's been a while since I've driven a manual, but the muscle memory is still there!). It did take me a minute or so to remember to push the clutch pedal in before starting the engine when leaving the dealership! That was embarrassing! Hopefully they thought I was just playing with the radio! You probably have many more miles than I have--does that smiley face mean you've been to Disney World?!

Weird- the Bishu Highway was shown right off Brunswick on Friday but no record of it stopping in port. Now, it's in Charleston.

Not unusual. Happens all the time with the ships. No worries. It will show up at your dealer shortly.

Sprout at home. Unfortunately, it was a little cloudy out, so the BRG II color doesn't show as bright in the picture as it does in the sunlight.

Oh, let's see it again! That's lovely. I love the green. Congratulations!

Do we know where Tortugas might be wandering about today?
