I'm about 40 miles north of DC in Mount Airy, MD. I'm pretty sure the east coast is the place to be while waiting for a mini.
I'm really looking forward to my son's first guitar lesson after the MINI arrives. It's a half hour drive along twisty dippy smooth two lane back country road. We need to pick just the right guitar heavy music and see if we can't cut some time off of the half hour.

And just called the hotline, got a May 17th production date. Hmm, that mean I'm week 20?

Sucks to hear about your production date. We called the automated service and it said that we've been bumped by one day... I'll wait to speak with a person though. I don't really trust the automated or website... seems to update a little slow!

Ok, I'm hoping for the "Don Carlos", assuming my car is going to Charleston, and not NY (I only assume this because I saw that other cars at Midwestern came from Charleston). It leaves South Hampton Saturday and sails directly to Charleston in 9 days. 9 days! Then it eventually goes around to Port Hueneme. This is the only WW ship going to Port Hueneme for weeks, so if you West Coasters are getting on a WW ship, this is it.

Swedish Fish called this morning and there was no new news... still in the paint shop. Glad to have NAM back up and working! Thanks Mark and everyone else!

We are still in the paint shop....hopefully a change tomorrow morning. They say she will be done on May 12th. I hope she makes the next boat.
My new thought is if she arrives sooner than scheduled and its 6/6/06, she is can hang out one more day at the dealer. Thats just asking for bad luck!!!

I called on Monday morning and they had said as of 6:17AM my car had started through the production line...and it takes a week to be finished???? Not sure exactly what that means, but maybe I should call again! LOL
Don't even have the car and I have already purchased the Sirius OEM install kit.

SFO- I know that west coast goes on NYK... I don't know if a WW ship would come out our way.

Found out this morning that our car was complete yesterday.. 05/10/2006. We have not been released to a carrier yet, but hoping for the Don Carlos. I checked my records and that's the same ship that my 2004 MCS was shipped on!!! I thought for sure that Swedish Fish would have posted this info early this morning. She was on the phone w/ ASK MINI at 6:45 am this morning!
