You can bring the motor oil for Ellie and Jasper. They will be thirsty after their long voyage!
Wish we lived closer, we could actually do that!
Have you been tracking the ship? I used sailwx.info today and saw that it had just left Baltimore harbor yesterday. Which one do you like to use, or are you trying to track at all?

I've been using marinetraffic.com
I actually grew up in San Diego. My mother, sister, and best friends still live there. I visit at least twice a year on my vacation time. I love it!
Wish I could pick up Ellie there and drive her back to Denver myself

Got an update from the MA today:
At Brunswick VPC: 11/24/12
Ship from VPC: 12/1/12
Dealer delivery: 12/2/12
so about a one week turnaround at the VPC right now, delivery on Sunday. I wonder if we can get it the same day. Would be nice to do the paperwork and have some drive time on the weekend instead of after work on Monday.
So close I can almost smell the leatherette!
Edit: MA emailed that they keep the car for a couple days at the dealership for additional prep, so maybe next Tuesday. Oh, and tried to get an up-sale of paint protection (see below). That wasn't the leatherette I was smelling...
"Let me know know if your interested in getting Cilajet on it. Here is a site for cilajet. This takes about 4 hours to get appeal on to the car. $699.00 is the price.

Let me know if you would like to get this protection on the car.

Got my call yesterday afternoon and picked up Winston this morning! 13 weeks from conception to home delivery, partly due to Sandy but also due to VDC ordered and installed JCW tuning kit. So great to be back in a MINI! Here is a pic from my iPhone.
Good luck to everyone waiting for their ship to come in, and deciding to order!

4:45pm while in the gym, BMW calls! Pickup my MINI tomorrow morning 9am (wed). 2 months and a day! I have a bag with accessories so I can dress up my car and name it before I leave the dealership and head back to work. My new smartphone arrives the next day (samsung note 2) so this is the best week I'll remember for a loooong time!

So after finding out last weekish that my yet-to-be-named Coupe would not be in production until at least Dec 3rd, I resigned myself to the fact that I still had some time to go and should stop bugging my MA and 866 for a while.
Stuck waiting for a meeting to start yesterday, I figured what the hell, I'll kill some time with the 866 number. Turns out it's in production and, as of the time of the call, was on the transmission install phase.
Called my MA and he said it should be done by the end of the week! Now to begin to pine over what ship it might make it on.

In production and will be out Dec 5!
Also, got into Owners Lounger Today, too. Maybe getting into production has something to do with getting into Owners Lounge?
Interesting the Owners Lounge tracks MINI when Scheduled for Production and when shipping, but never shows the car in actual production.
So, folks, do you think I'll have a MINI by Christmas????

There are ships leaving on 12/6 and 12/9. First ship gets in at 12/13 and second one at 12/19.
If you make the first ship you'll probably have it by Christmas. If you make the second ship... it'll most likely be in NY VDC in Christmas.
My Mini's been waiting in Southampton since 11/22. I already missed two ships. Third ship coming up this Thursday. Every owner has a different experience as far as wait time but so give up hope. I hope you meet your baby by Christmas.
Good luck!

Update: My MINI was born today!
Hello all, a soon to be MCS owner here.
I ordered a 2013 Iced Chocolate MCS, manual, infiniti stream rims, Toffee Lounge seats and color line, premium package, sport package, cold weather package, rear foglight, h/k sound, auto-dimming mirrors, chromline interior/exterior, comfort access, alarm system, arm rest, piano black trim, and maybe the kitchen sink... will have to look at the build sheet again.
Ordered on November 8th, started production November 20th and birthday is scheduled for November 28th.
Now to figure out which ship...
