I'm going to fly to SLC (pretty short hop from Seattle) and then drive back to Seattle. Should be a nice little road trip!

If you talk to a real person at ask mini, they can tell your for sure what color your car is. The owner's lounge doesn't seem to be too accurate, and lags behind the information from the automated voice at ask mini by a few days. Today both the webpage and the 800 number tell me my car is in transit, however! I wonder if it's on the hojin?

Oh, and my MA is Juan! Maybe they felt bad for accidentally charging me two down payments () and bumped me up to an unused spot in the queue. Or maybe I just got lucky and got an earlier production spot at the factory because it opened up?
I figure I'll probably get my car around the same time I was told I would (probably late June/early July) and I'm just underestimating the amount of time it takes for my car to get across the Atlantic and through the canal. But I'll take it as soon as it gets here!

When I called ASK-MINI they told me what ship I was on and when it left port. Then I went on line to track it. My MA confirmed the other day that it had arrived in the US and was getting ready to ship down to him. He called today to tell me it was there and I could probably pick it up Friday. Everything will be ready except he isn't sure the roof graphic will be in by then. Kind of irritating since they've had awhile to get in while I was waiting. Oh well. I've told him I still want to pick it up even if I have to bring it back to have the graphic on. I want to go motoring on memorial day!
Now all I have to do is sell my 740iL or get a bigger garage! We're running out of space.
Good luck to everybody still waiting.

My fiancee's car is now at the Distribution center.(VDC)
The dealer said they will have the car by Saturday.
But we can't pick it up until earliest Tuesday.
The MSO paperwork still has to be done and we are picking it up in another state. Picking up in CT and bringing it back to NY.
We are going to the dealer on Saturday though(couple hours) and hope the car will have a temporary tag to drive it back.
She(and myself) really want to have it for the weekend.
I know the port and the dealership want the car out and signed for by the end of the month for commission

Can't wait to start driving my car! I've been seeing lots of MINIs around town.
Good luck picking up your car! I'm going to be in SLC around the middle of June, so it would be pretty awesome if I could pick up my MINI at the same time. But Juan told me that it would more likely be around the beginning of July that I'd be getting it.
I'll definitely have to call tomorrow and see what ship I'm on!

Yeah, Juan's nice enough but he's not as savvy as the other MAs I hear about that actually can figure out what boat we're on. I based my MINI being on the Centaurus Leader the same way -- my status switched to In Transit the same day everyone else was saying they were on the Centaurus Leader.
Let me know how it goes with Juan.

Tomorrow?
MINI USA says delivery date is tomorrow. Haven't heard from my MA yet. I emailed yesterday but haven't received a reply yet. I guess I'll call. If I can't pick Austin up Saturday, he'll have to wait 'till next Friday. I've waited this long ( which has been nowhere near the wait some of the people on the west coast have ), I can wait another week.

Dunixi -
Sorry to hear that. Don't wait for your MA. Call him! Could be the site is a little behind. I got much more info if I initiated the call.
I couldn't pick up today as planned. My roof graphic didn't come in until this morning. I'm picking up tomorrow. I also read some nasty posts about the washer fluid that comes in them causing some paint issues. I've asked my MA to have it all drained out so I can refill it myself after flushing the reservoir.

I would be surprised if they would want to let you do that. There monthly commission checks depend on the units out before the end of the month.
