My MA informs me that my car is on the K-Line freighter, "Georgia Highway". According to K-Line's posted .pdf schedule the ship is schedule to arrive in Brunswick, GA, July 3. I'm guessing that it'll be an additional week before it arrives at my dealer's lot in Orlando, FL.
I guess I'd better get busy cleaning up my Honda S2000 and gathering up all his stock parts in preparation for trading it in. Losing the S2000 is the only downside to all this for me. I'm going to miss it.

My MCS is in transit according to Ask Mini, but they nor my MA can determine what ship I'm on. I'm excited just the same but when I got my Bimmer it was easily determined by my sales rep which ship. Wallenius shows nothing for my VIN. Maybe it's on K-Line like my BMW was several years ago.

For those of you getting ready to place an order (for a '14), you should note that the financing specials on MINI's website only apply to '13s - that was a nice tidbit to learn from my MA this morning (who said he lost sleep and was worried that I'd cancel my order - and his sales $). Didn't really matter to me as I had already researched other options just in case.

I made a similar decision on mine... but I was told I can get 0.9% on my JCW for 60 months. Hope my MA didn't make me a promise the finance guy at the dealership can't keep. Otherwise, Navy Federal, here I come. They offer 1.79.

I like that side stripe, very unique. Is that a MINI special package or did you have that stripe custom made ? And is it dark green as it appear on my computer or are my eyes and computer playing tricks on me ? Either way... SHARP !!
Edit: Just saw in your sig that you got the Green Park edition. NIIIIICE !!! How about an interior shot ?

Maybe you should see if that will work in your case, if you're really worried about it. On the other hand, the .9% offer is good for deliveries through the end of September, so if that doesn't work you've got much bigger problems to worry about. ("Hello, Mr. Zippy? This is Captain Ahab. We just hit an iceberg and your car is now at the bottom of the Atlantic. Sorry ...")

Still figuring out all the bells and whistles. I like the fiberoptic lighting inside.
I like Mini Connected so far - even if iPod Out (video support) is gone on the iPhone 5, it still seems to work pretty well for Pandora and calling.
I haven't taken him through his paces, but Ziggy (clever name, huh?) is gonna be a fun commuter car, that's for sure.

It's a day ahead of schedule into Brunswick but I assume it will still unload on the scheduled date.
Oh well, better waiting at the dock than anxiously wondering if it will make it's scheduled date!
