Yup... looks like the WW tracking site also has some delays factored in. It updated just today to show my girl as being booked on a ship, and as having been received at the terminal.... both took place on 06/13/13.

I did call Ask Mini, both automated and CR today. Both still have my girl as awaiting a ship. The rep I spoke with stated this was as of 06/13/13. They have no updates since.

Wow... a bunch of our Waiters have MINIs on that ship ! I think this board may have a meltdown when that shop docks at the port.

I currently have iDrive in a 2008 BMW 335, but the technology and integration with iphone is so far behind, I find I use my car navigation regularly. Any feedback?
You're gonna be sorely disappointed. iPhone 5 supports no visual functions. iPod Out is only supported on 30-pin iPod adapter phones (4S and earlier).

Lots of other features still work, but getting a visual representation of what the phone is doing is not one of them.

Here's a helpful hint for all you guys waiting for delivery

If you go to the dealer's lot to carefully check over your MINI the night before delivery, don't get too excited and almost drop your camera.

It seems like the action comes in waves around here. Nothing for a while ... then suddenly everyone is on a boat or getting their car or taking spy shots before the dealer will let them drive away. It only worsens my anticipation, but it's good to see some movement.

Five to ten days left for me, then I'll be an absolute basket case, looking for any excuse to run an errand or find a grocery store 30 miles out of the way. Can't wait.

Told ya. :) Your neurosis was rewarded handsomely. There's a good life lesson in there somewhere!

As with many things in life, a little movement is good, but a big movement is better.

I'm waving to everyone but you can't quite see me because I'm just west of the area shown on that map.

Your ship is just a short ride up the Chesapeake from the port in Baltimore.

Sweet! That is less than half an inch! The tide should bring it the rest of the way.

I'm watching it tick ever-closer to that bridge that closes the gap.

It's made its turn northward toward Baltimore!

Tongala is through the Panama canal, I've been a bit busy recently to stress about it. I've never had much luck tracking the ships in international waters. Just a week till it docks at Port Hueneme.
