Okay, cool.

At this point, I think ASKMINI becomes useless. I'll know when it's on a ship before they will, I bet.

 

You know though .. Im finally seeing a little light at the end of this tunnel Plus I came up with a name for my new MINI....CRUSH

 

Oh yeah, you'll be tearing up the twisties before you know it !

I like it... descriptive, strong, masculine name..

 

I agree.. I knew mine was on a ship wayyy before they did.. I almost felt like calling them and give them an update ha ha

 

Thanks One of my favorite sodas is orange crush.. cars spice orange so why not...just seemed to fit and it is a bit cool

 

"hello, ASKMINI? My MINI is on the ship, have a good evening, bye". I' sure they would appreciate the update.

Yep, good name for several reasons.

 

ha ha that ask mini cuts me up!! I really wonder at all if they really know or if they were just winging it!.. But now that im on a ship and learned different methods of tracking it myself its all good

 

Exactly. Someone in this thread recently said they called three times in one day and got three different answers. Wouldn't surprise me to learn they just look at your order date and guess at your status.

 

That's what im thinking they do...then they wing it... Ive called three times in one day and got some crazy info each time... so yep that was prob. me!!

 

Glad I could be of service! But will believe my effort paid off when I see pics!

Oh, I see! Well, maybe we'll end up getting ours around the same time, as I'm thinking it has to take at least 1 week for the transport from Halifax (arriving at the Halifax Port on July 2nd) to Ottawa, and then 1-2 days for the dealer's prep... Your car will be out of this world! Should I get a third MINI at some point, I'm hoping/betting it'll be a JCW!

Lots of good vibes all around these days! And love the name Crush! So fitting...!

 

IamLili Thanks! I thought the name was right... Theres been a lot of good excitement/vibes on this post the last few days... Glad to see it

 

Call ASK MINI. More granular. Awaiting Transportation means it is still at the plant.

 

My MA couldn't say exactly. He knows it's on a truck, and thinks it will be there early this week, but didn't know the day. I have no stripes or anything, just paperwork.

I have to stay away from this thread, it's doing me no good and my anticipation seems to be on an exponential path upward, which is starting to affect basic motor skills and critical thinking.

Getting dizzy ... must maintain control ... stay ... focu— (floor).

 

LOL. There's gotta be a market for freelance MINI trackers. Charge a flat, per-vehicle fee. Be on call 24/7. Leverage multiple sources. Provide text messages and map images every three hours. Could be a lucrative business.

 

There should be an app for that.

 

Yes, Lili, we might be pretty close on our delivery dates, would be pretty cool ! And thanks, if not "out of this world", it will at least be one of a kind !

I did... Friday evening, said it was at the port awaiting a ship. And am I missing something on the Owner's Lounge ? What's the status say when you're awaiting a ship at the port ?

 

Bummed. I'll be waiting another day since the ride fell through.

Tomorrow!

 

I hope your ride giver had a darn good reason !

 

Car is in the shop.

MA said he'd try to snap a photo of the car... this afternoon.

He sorta asked if I worked close to give me a ride. And I told him it's about 40 miles and he decided that wasn't something he would do for me (not in so many words).

Alas.

 

that's a pretty good reason !

 

I agree.. I would think it would be a pretty good app.. Im sure there would be a call for it.. Anything has to be better than what we currently have.. I would of paid a fee..lol

 

No, your good. It is just that the website has one status between "Scheduled for Production" and "En Route", which is "Awaiting Transport" but it could be anywhere from the parking lot in the plant to the parking lot at the port. The Ask Mini line has 3 - one is waiting for carrier (this is at the plant), released to carrier (on the way to the port) and the third is at port waiting on ship.

Same for production. Website just has "Scheduled for Production." Ask Mini has "Scheduled for production" and "In production with an estimated completion date of MMM DD."

Ask Mini is also faster at getting updated. I've seen the website lag at least 24 hrs and sometimes 48 hrs behind Ask Mini on my build.

I'll be curious to see if the Ask Mini line has more details once it gets to the DC as well. I'll find out after July 10!

 

Good morning all you MINI waiters!!!

 

Good info... thanks !

Morning ! How's it going ??

 

Well, OL finally shows my Roadster S is "En Route".... good to know since she left Southampton last Wednesday. Checked this morning to see if there are any further updates on the Tiger... not since 06/20/13, and that was when she was entering the North Atlantic. She must be in the middle of the North Atlantic by now. Ask Mini just reports that she is in transit and directs me to contact my MA for further details. Tiger is still scheduled at Manzanillo for the Panama canal transit on 07/01/13.
