Ackkk!
My VIN is now tagged with the deadly asterisk on AIDA (I was #9 on the list before the UNDINE fiasco). There's only a few not 'waitlisted'.
I sure hope I don't get pushed!!!! Gonna have to teach this car to doggy paddle. I Really wanted to avoid late August Atlantic crossing (hurricanes)

Poor Steve - but you can still drive your current MINI, right? Or is it off limits since it is for sale? Oh, just for the heck of it, are you asking near to MSRP? I looked at the AD, but I don't think it listed the original purchase price.
Where did you happen to find that schedule?
Thanks!
John

The price I paid ~$32,000 for it in November 2004. The posted price of $25,500 is obviously a HUGE discount. Part of this is because things like Aero Kits ($2,750.00 installed) and R90 wheels ($1,695.00) and Driving lights ($780.00 installed) Don't hold value as well as the overall car does.
This is a great deal for someone who wants a fully-equipped MCS. Building a new one like this will cost ALOT (I know, I did it with the new convertible ... it's running about $38,500.00)
I got the shipping data from the Charleston port authority. They finally updated the Union Pier information to show August arrivals.

Yes indeed... I'm quite anxious about that actually. On this schedule I won't see the new car until just before Labor Day. If it gets kicked to the curb again, It'll really get in to the dangerous part of the August shipping in the Atlantic... and cut in to the late Summer time with the lid down!
Amazing, isn't it? We were all sitting happily on the peir together, built just a few days apart. Now I'm more than2 weeks behind y'all
Let us all know when you guys are safe and sound on dry ground. I worry about you guys!

Anyhoo, mine is still "En Route" but under details, it lists an estimated delivery date! If MCM were a bit closer, I'd try to find out when they arrive, and go to see it on the lot. As it is, I'm going to have to skip work to get there on Saturday/Sunday (if the MINI checks out OK in NY, clean bill of health). I emailed my MA to give me a bit more detail vis a vie delivery!

Let us know when you hear more.
Looks like I've been hijacked as well!!
This morning I found that WW no longer has my VIN number and the entire booking that I was a member of is no longer on record!
Time to start searching the other RoRo lines to see where we stoyed away.

I saw on the Charleston arrivals that the rust-bucket your poor MINI is/was riding on has been delayed a day and does not port in Charleston until tomorrow (8/2). Does that coincide with the delivery date on OL?

oh no! Bean must of gotten detention for helping ururk's MINI escape. The Ford trick really worked. It doesn't say anything on the OL or ASK MINI. Both say En Route. I hope Bean had a tetanus shot!
