Me too! I'll definitely check out ECS Tuning. Thanks!

How is that possible? I thought they were offering 0.9% for 2012 and 1.9% for 2013.

Congratulations, I just picked up my Hyde Park as well. See the pictures posted earlier. Neat to see the way different options look.

Huzzah! My ship made it across the Atlantic and has docked in Baltimore. Next stop is Brunswick on Wednesday, where my MINI will roll off and go through disembarkation procedures.

First driving impressions?

Released to sales
Just talked to customer service. My car has finished production and been assigned/released to sales. Anybody know what that means? Is it on the way to the dock or still at Oxford?

That means it should soon be on the 67 mile train to the port, then waiting for a ship. Congrats!!!

If not W&W, you might get loaded onto a K-Line

I am on west coast so think it will be a ww ship. My guess is I'll go out on 11/6. As you know, these production dates are hard to nail down. I think the car was born on 10/20...this gives me 4 days to make the boat...still very close.

Mine boarded a ship 2 days after it arrived at the dock so it is possible.

My guess it is at the dock now. There is so much lag time in Mini's reporting system it does come down to estimating the real dates. Of course, we don't know how many units are ahead of my car at the port.

My car shipped to Port Hueneme on a K-Line vessel.

The Figaro should have arrived in Panama four hours ago. Is there no AIS tracking on the Atlantic side of the Panama canal? I don't see any ships there at all.

When I checked last week, there were no K-Line vessels that went to Port Hueneme, only WW.

That's good to know. I was looking at the K-line schedule and it didn't appear they were servicing the West Coast.
