Go to http://www.firstnynj.com/ and click on "vessel activity" at the top of the page to search for the Liberty's estimated arrival info. You only have to input the name or call sign of the ship so leave the other areas blank.

I will double check with the port and maybe even go down, nah, it will be too dark....Either way the cars will be off the boat by 8PM.. hopefully

It's Here!
The Owners Lounge still says I'm "enroute" but my MA says she's on a truck and should be at the dealer tomorrow! They have to check her over and put on the roof graphics, stripes and invisashield. Says I can pick her up Friday! I'll be motoring on Memorial Day! Now that I'm this close I'm almost afraid to get to excited. I've had a rotten month so far and I'm afraid something could go wrong. Nahhhh! Gotta stay positive.
Anybody else about to deliver?

All I could get from my MA at MINI of Sterling was that the delivery date at the miniusa isn't always accurate and that he will call me when it gets there. He just doesn't seem to share my excitement.
West coast folks, I feel your pain. I believe that being forced to wait so long for a mini is a form of torture and should be outlawed. >.<

Exact words from my MA's e-mail:
MY QUESTIONS:
I just wanted to check on the current status of the Mini. I called
866.ASKMINI and they said as of the 16th of May, the Mini was awaiting arrival of a boat to begin its route to the U.S. Do you have any further information as to which ship it's on?
ANSWER:
"Ship still has not set out.
We don't get that kind of info as to what ship it on."

I'm in the same boat! Wasn't taken seriously in Vegas so I went elsewhere. Although I saved some cash, the guy doesn't seem very interested in my purchase. Pretty disappointing to be honest. but I guess once I drive the car home, who cares...it won't be going to him.
Guess I won't know what boat it's on or when it'll hit port

Any news on the location of our ship? I can't seem to plot it so I assume that you all are having the same trouble?

[quote=goldcountrymini]Where did you place your order from?
I'm ordering from MINI of Murray in Salt Lake City. I placed my order about a month ago and my car's already made and on its way to the west coast. As opposed to Northwest MINI in the Seattle area, who told me I'd be able to get one ... next year. And that it would be an '07. I'll let someone else work out the kinks in the new model, thanks
