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 ...")
Hey Spa2k, I did all the financing prior to my order.. so they did tell me I was locked in.. But I will double check tomorrow..just in case they didn't follow through with the paperwork.. I just haven't been that impressed at all with my MA.. they definitely need to work on there customer relations a bit more.. its horrible... But loved the iceberg joke.. I like a good sense of humor I can see it already iceberg dead ahead!! And we all know what happened after that!!..lol

Anybody hoping to get on the Tarago, it docked at Southampton a few hours ago and is being loaded with shiny new cars, MINIs included, as I write this. Keeping fingers crossed for mine and yours.

The Tongala is now within range of tracking, approaching Port Hueneme. She's due to dock tomorrow. Only a few days now.

Excellent! Keep us posted on how long it stays at the DC. Did you have any options that are installed there vs the factory?

hahaha... you know I am! Mine's been at the port in Southampton for almost a week. Still not showing up on any manifest so don't think it got on the Integrity, Thank Goodness... it sailed five days ago, think I'd show up by now.

The Tarago sails today straight for Baltimore... meaning my MINI would be at the dealership in about 8-10 days if I get on that ship.

My car is sitting over in a parking structure and I'm here at work in a sterile office.

Hey, don't you dare mess with my record of 27 days from factory to ship!

(I wouldn't wish that on anyone ...) Good luck!

Isn't that just par for the course for those of us on the left coast?

I hope not. Maybe I should have said factory to Southampton. My car sat in Oxford for 22 days before being sent to the port in Southampton.

Well, if you go here and click on the map, then zoom out, it seems to be close to the shore - closer to the US than to Europe anyway. Given it lands on the 27th, that seems about right.

If I do the same for the Tiger, it seems about half way to the Panama Canal. Supposed to be there July 1. Sigh....

Gut feeling: Yes.

I was at the port when the Integrity loaded up. Can't imagine they'd have it sit there and not load it on two straight ships destined for my port of Baltimore. Guess stranger things have happened.

My dealership is only about 15-20 miles from the port.

Thanks for the finger crossing, every little bit helps !

My search just tells me that the Tiger is still out of range.

So, my Bayswater is currently travelling on this baby...!

Status is: Underway. Can't see the ship on the map though.

ETA at the Halifax Port of Discharge is still July 2nd!
