Well they should be shipping together. Mine finished today as well and is en route to the port/waiting on a ship.

So how do we determine which vessel we're on?

So should be going to port soon.

Go to the week 45 support thread first page, there is a great post https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...=ship+tracking here that has lots of info....

When I input my VIN into the tracking area nothing comes up yet, it may be too soon as my car just finished today....

I did find that the next ship the Patriot, leaves Southampton for Charleston on 12/15, hopefully are MINI's back that ship.....

That post would be a brilliant sticky.

Hoping we hit the Patriot. Don't see having the car before the end of the year though. I'll be down south around the 29. May have to swing by the port or the VDC

Edit: Actually having read some of the other support threads, I think it'll be an extraordinary stroke of luck to catch the Patriot.

Wow. I get nothing on my VIN as of now, but I'll be checking in the morning for sure.

Congrats!

Just called ASKMINI to see if it's too late to make a few changes to the order (the dealer won't be open for another couple hours, and by then I'll be sitting down to take a final), so later today I'll be calling my dealer to add the aero kit and driving lamps to the order, maybe the 17" R99's, but it might be too late for that, and I kindof just want to wait and get aftermarket wheels anyway. Figured I'd ask what stage of production my MINI's in while I had the guy on the phone, it's in the paint shop today and on schedule to be done on the 15th, good news!

Elbum: I think the only thing in your list that would be factory are the foglights. The aero kit and the R99s are dealer options.

Bad news for me: While my MCS was finished on 12/12, it's still en route to the port, so I don't think I'll make the Patriot with Runningman. But should be first on the Liberty leaving almost a week later.

Puts her in Charleston after the first of the year. Gah.

Edit: In a final fit of OCD desparation I put the VIN in one more time. . . I'm booked! See you on the Patriot. Catch up ravana. I'll try and stall them.

Then they are all dealer options

RE: The R99s, I'm tempted by them as well, but for the money I don't think I can justify wheels that are that heavy, I'll probably be going aftermarket as well.

Not sure of the exact distances but I don't think its even close....

NY to DC is around 200 miles

Charleston to DC is probably around 400 + miles...

It takes me about 4 hours to drive to either place from Chapel Hill.....
