Sounds like a plan to me. We're looking at the possibility of coming down on Thanksgiving this next year. It looks like Lil Raggi has been unloaded from his luxury liner. According to my MA, there will be no more news until he is unloaded at the dealership. That'll be 4 - 7 days, but most are saying it'll be closer to four more days. Shucks, he may be now waiting for his truck to come in. Let's hope. This is crazy, I feel like a kid locked out of the candy store and it won't open for four, or more days. Am I the only one like this?

Ship Tracking
Is there anyone else out there on the "Tiger" coming into the West Coast to Port Hueneme?
I've been trying really hard to track this ship with no luck. I think she's been on the open seas for the past 10 days and I'm afraid she's on a lost course.
Can anyone else find her and let me know where she's at?
My baby's on that ship!
Thanks,
Jeff

I have a friend with a car on the same vessel and have been tracking also on her behalf. As it's manifest shows it heading straight for the Panama Canal, it's not going to report in until it gets close. Which is the 24th if I remember right. So don't worry! In my experience they don't check in on the open sea, only by the coastline...from the canal onward all the way to SD you'll be able to see it. And you can even see the ship on the Canal's video cameras if you're lucky...

From there I have to wait for the stripes, antenna and bonnet scoop to be installed. My MA said a full day for the stripes alone. Ugh. So close yet so far away..... I was hoping to get her by Saturday. Oh well. Better than it being January still.

Hi everyone, this is my first post and my first MINI! I’m graduating college so this consequently also my first new car.
My MINI finished production yesterday and is waiting to set sail to Baltimore. Is there anyone who received theirs yet that can comment on how long the wait was after production was finished?
Here’s pictures!

I have to step away from my computer, this is making me crazy! Maybe I'll come back to it on the 24th so that I can try to watch it come through the canal.
