Phone call from my MA saying we're on for a Friday pickup...Not Yet!
I hope my car clears the processing center and is delivered to the dealership before Friday or I'm screwed.
I finally have her. I'm trying to get the pics up, but I don't know its not uploading the pics. I'll take pics tomorrow with my camera hopefully I could get some in tomorrow.
so you were on the tosca right? thats so wierd I still am enroute. Even though it came in on wensday. I still am unsure when I am going to get a delivery of my baby!
Ya, I know. It is wierd how he got his car so fast. Maybe his was one of the last loaded onto the ship and thus the first off. But I'm just guessing at how this loading and unloading thing works. My car was at the port for 12 days before it was loaded onto a ship.
As I recall mine barely made it to the port in time to be loaded on to the boat. So who knows if the order of loading has any bearing on the time at the processing center. It may have more to do with the carrier that brings the cars to each individual dealer. It's all speculation at this point, but then I guess that just adds more fuel to the anticipation fire.
I wasn't able to ask if I was on the Tosca, so I'm not sure. There are a few things I need Assael to do tomorrow though. I'm missing a screw on my cup holder, and the bottom part of my dash seems like it wasn't put on right. I didn't see it through the walk through and didn't notice till a friend pointed it out. On Wednesday I'll be getting my lojack and ipod connector installed Saturday tint goes in. Pics will be up soon.
I sure hope 'Nigel' is here when I get back from Denver for Xmas. Dang - If I had it I'd be considering driving just to hook up with the MINI5280 group out there.
Yup. My Owner's Lounge says that my MINI is still EN ROUTE! No estimated delivery date, no nothing. But the Wallenius website now officially states that it was discharged from the vessel on the 9th.
I am on the Tosca. I talked to my MA today and she said that my car hasn't been unloaded yet. In fact out of the 25 cars the dealership has on the boat only 7 have been unloaded. This doesn’t make sense. Has anybody else from Portland heard anything different?

I'm in Seattle and NW Mini hasn't called me to give me an ETA
I spoke with my MA he told me that my car had not come in because the ship was late. I told him that I was on the Tosca and was unloaded on 12-9-05 at 1550 hours according to the shiping company. It was news to him. He said that I should get my car in 7 days after it was unloaded. We will see.
Like I said guys here are the pics.. I know it took more than a few days sorry about that. I just got her back today after leaving her at Assael overnight for the ipod install. Enjoy!
my delivery date just got listed for thursday. Well thats a bummer. Seriously if they got the car today, I would drive all the way back down to pick her up
From my Week 45 experience, it is the owner's estimated delivery date (not the dealership's).
My experience (I'm also in Week 45) is that it is closer to the dealer delivery date, as my EDD was 12/6 and it is now 12/14 and I still don't have my MINI. Needless to say, I think it is just an estimate.
