Carmen heading toward Irene?
I'm on the Carmen too. And Irene is making a hard right, straight into Carmen's path. Yikes.

Bad Irene!
Looks like Irene went with the upgrade. I'm looking for the latitude and longitude position for the storm right now.
How much of a tossin' can a freighter full of autos take?
Found it.

Re-route speculation.
I'd imagine that Carmen would probably try to head south and pass behind the storm. Of course, gotta remember the "last on - first off" rule. I'm pretty confident Carmen's heading to NY first.
Though, after reviewing the storm track and the Carmen's path, I will say it looks a bit, uhhh, disconcerting.

Looks like we made it.... Storm's slowed down to 9 mph and will (IMO) pass east of Carmen. Any delays in transport will be due to reasons other than this.
I never imagined I'd ever take such an interest in Atlantic weather events ever, or that a new car would be what prompted that interest.
Now to figure out when my sales rep gets back from vacation. :/

It's only supposed to take 4 hrs for both those installations, then add 20 min for a carwash, but they may be busy with other stuff, so I'd allow for 2 days prep time.
My MA also said they'd probably get it a week from Saturday if all checks out at the VDC. All I'm having them install is the alarm, so I'm hoping they'll be ready for me by monday the 29th! We'll see though... I know they have another MINI comming in a day before, so I'm sure her's will take precedence. My fingers are crossed and my hopes are up!

I too am on the Carmen. Once Maximus makes it to Ohio he gets an alarm and sportlink then we are hitting the road. Plan to hit Detroit and Pittsburgh its first weekend.
Anybody know what the deal is with customs, do Minis usually get through quickly or can it be a hold up? And are all the Minis getting off in SC, or do soem get off in NY?
Is there a web cam at either port? I am going to say that the pics on Mini2 are of my car (how many pepperwhite pepper white minis could there be on the ship?

That is very cool..
BBoy, that's awesome. I figured CO would take much longer and living in NYC was finally paying off for me . If it is that quick, I'll be motoring a week from tomorrow. (When the insurance starts.)
I already bought wheels and I'm making payments; I just want to drive this thing already.

On the OL
I just checked myself, and they're still listing it as in transit. But I did click "Review order details" and it's listing the estimated delivery date as Aug. 25. The last update from sailwx.info is from 1800 8/17.
I found this. Sorta neat. I'm looking for a webcam and arrivals info now.

If the 1 week from VDC to dealership is accurate, I should be getting my MINI on the 29th .
That site is pretty damn cool! How on earth do they manage all those cars? Let us know if you find any webcams.

I talked to Gabe today, last time before we are off on vacation, and he basically told me my MINI would be ready for me to pick up when we get back on the 27!!!
I hope it all works out for you to pick yours up on the 29th. I'll let you know if I happen to see your MINI while I am there picking mine up!

I'm working on locking in the financing right now but I hope to be done with all the paper work by the time I go in so that all I have to do is grab my keys.
Only 2 more days 'till the CARMEN arives in SC and our MINIs start making their way to the dealerships! :smile:
