The Liberty is scheduled to sail on 1/27. I am also scheduled to be done on 1/27 and am hoping that means I will be onboard the ship on 1/27. My mini is also in the paint shop as of this morning. Wise choice not to have kids, they would only pester you to drive your car! My wife and I are spending our kids inheritance as she got her Mini 6/05 and mine is on its' way.

My completion date was said to be Jan 18 - but it was actually done with assembly days before and loaded on Elektra on the 18th. I am starting to think that the completion date is the loading date for your MINI.
Elektra just passed the Azores and is halfway to Halifax, first port of call....
You can get an image of your vessel at the WW website. Here is Elektra -

I'm really trying to be good and only call ASK MINI on Wednesdays. I'm crazy-go-nuts with all you east coasters who will have your cars so soon.
Bill, I can't hate you at all seeing as we're practically neighbors. Sort of. I lived in Princeton Jct. twice -- once as a wee tot and once just out of school with my new Miata (in case you saw my Miata thread) -- and my in-laws live there now. Isn't everybody from NJ at some point?
OK. That managed to distract me for all of a paragraph. I think I need to go shop for some accessories or something. Or will a garage full of things-that-don't-have-a-car-to-go-in-or-on-yet make it worse?
There's a reason we call these "Support Groups" after all.

Is anyone else a little underwhelmed by MINIs tracking?
Its never up to date (mine still says scheduled with no date even though it was in the paint shop today). Its also not specific. On the website it should show us all the little steps. Its not hard technically. They should all run off one database. In fact it seems illogical that they all run off different systems. Sad

May not be travelling on the Liberty with a lot of you guys, but the MAERSK TIDE gets to SC 6 days before the liberty. I just may have the quickest order turnaround ever.

^^ Woah! Thats awesome! When did you order??!
I just called ASK MINI (I think I'm becoming obsessed) and Grimace has moved onto the paint shop.
The Ask MINI guys are getting more and more friendly every day. The first time they just looked up my info. Yesterday they asked if this was my first MINI then we had a discussion when I told him it was my 3rd. Today, he asked what I had on order then wanted to know my full Spec. I wonder if they have a log of how many times you've called and talk to the obsessed ones more..

Wow. Thats an amazingly quick order time.
I just went back and checked my "I'm getting a new MINI" thread and saw that I ordered on Dec 19th. Thats slightly disappointing. Its ok though. Its exciting to see everyone moving through the build stages and getting loaded onto ships. They'll be here before we know it.
