Mine is awaiting transport!

Yippee!!!

I guess that means it's too late to make any changes. Thank goodness - I can quit worrying about whether I picked the right color!

Anybody else waiting for transport?

 

I just ordered a CR/W MCS today and have a production number but assume it will be a day or two before I can track my car. I ordered the Premium, Sport and Convenience Packages, LSD, HK, Rear Fog, Chrono Pack, Chili Red Dash Panels, Chrome Interior, Gray/Black Leatherette and Anthracite Headliner. This will be my fourth MINI purchase. My daughter (2ndMiniac) has an 05 MCS EB/W. These cars are like crack cocaine..... Anyways, I'll ride along here with the week 45'ers until I find out when my car is actually being produced.

 

That sounds just about right. MIB was a 2005 week 45 and we piked it up Dec 9th 2005

 

Hey guys, I was just reading your posts and thought that I would add a little encouragement and make a few suggestions.

I'm a week 44 and am in the same area as Wildfamily and have basically the same config with the addition of the english black panther leather seats.

Last night in our Production Support group, we were supposed to be on the boat and departed. However, it appeared that a number of us had not made the boat even though we were on the bill of lading for that voyage. Our cars were "wait listed" while a number of others on that same BOL were loaded. So, for those of us that were Wait Listed, we were extremely disappointed at those posts...... Watch monday night football with our beloved Seahawks, watch the CMA awards, catch the news, get some good jokes from Leno(Is a pastor on meth caled a metodist????ha ha )....... go to sleep, wake up and logon and find out that MiniMe is now loaded and on its way!!!!

Moral of the story??? I'm not sure what it is either, but at a minimum, try to be patient with the system and don't do like I did and get pissed off (but like the old saying goes, its better to be pissed off than pissed on ). It appears that when you have a BOL # your car will show as on the dock. When your cruise ship comes in, I think that all of the cars then show as wait listed(don't get concerned yet, its not like a bad flight), and then as soon as it is actually loaded, it is in the state room on the cruise lines being pampered and on its way.

Let me know if you have other questions, and I will try to answer them. MiniMe was ordered 9/15, went to the dock on 10/30 and left on its voyage this morning. Hopefully I will driving him by 12/15. One other word of advice, those of us on the west coast tend to get screwed as there are more cruises to the east coast than to the west coast. In fact I could have been driving mine right now had I ordered from Classic or Hamptons,or etc. but I elected to support the local dealer.

 

My status changed from "Scheduled for production" to "Awaiting Transport" today a little before noon! I too am on the West Coast and hope I get my MINI around mid December...

 

Okay, I found out from my MA today that I have a VIN and my car is "scheduled for production" but not yet "in production." My VIN ends in TN29300. Wondering who out there has a VIN that is in the same spot (awaiting production) that I am. I'm curious to see what the last VIN is for a NAM'er. This means I may end up not being a week 45 person Car should be in the garage by Christmas though.

 

My VIN is TN29150 and my car is scheduled to be complete November 13th. The representative I talked to at 866-ASK-MINI said that it should be done sooner than that though (November 10th).

 

Thanks RoyalJCW!!! I'll pester the ASKMINI folks today to get more info.

 

Thanks for the encouragement Speed Racer! Since you're in the week before us, I'll be watching MiniMe's progress on his way to you.

It's going to be a very happy holiday season for all of us!

While we're waiting...if you have your VIN number, you can go ahead and order your free Mini Spy Toggle Panel. Here's the link

Just got the update today, actually running ahead of schedule.

I am waiting for the ship to Charleston to bring my Mini over. Hopefully it will be soon.

 

You should check the WW shipping schedules at www.2wglobal.com. That will tell you the boats scheduled and departure and arrival dates.

Congrats, but now the hardest part of the wait is in front of you now that you know that you actually have a car and its just sitting on the dock collecting dust and dirt!

 

You know I tried that, the link to WW, but I got all confused with all the ships and can't figure out anything on it.

 

No need to get confused. There are boats leaving on the 8th, 10th and 17th. If you need more help let me know. I would say that you have chance to be motoring sooner than any of us on the west coast. Have you been able to track the VIN yet?

 

Oo thanks! Maybe I could get on the boat for the 17th?!

I did try the VIN thing, nothing yet. I will keep trying and see what happens, if anything new pops up I will post in here.

I hate to be a pessimist but I don't want to get my hopes up that I might get my Mini early!

 

Keep your eye on the ww site. Click on the "Auto Cargo" button and enter your vin in the tracking #. I'm not positive, but I think that when it starts to actually show as "on the dock" they probably have it scheduled for shipment. If I were you I would hope for the earlier boat. You probably won't see it on a bill of lading until almost the departure date.

 

Mine Got Booked on the TASCO but then said returned to shipper... I wonder if it really made it on the ship or is still on the dock?

Status Port Time (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm)
RETURNED TO SHIPPER SOUTHAMPTON 07/11/2006 16:22
RECEIVED AT TERMINAL SOUTHAMPTON 06/11/2006 17:27
BOOKED SOUTHAMPTON 01/11/2006 10:44

 

Aha! answered my own question... The TASCO sailed on the 1st of November and my MINI got there too late!

 

Hopefully you get on the 8th sailing. Whats your config?

 

I'll keep checking the WW site, so far nothing but I did call Mini and they confirmed that my Mini arrived yesterday on the dock, getting on the ship that would leave on the 10th would be way too cool. Either way I am very happy with the ways things are progressing. I got in just in time too to get my 06. I was lucky my dealer still had 4 alloted Minis when I ordered mine.

 

Production completed Nov 8.
Released to carrier on the 866-Ask Mini system.
Nothing showing on the WW site yet.

 

My MINI is on the boat! We are on the Integrity, due into Charleston on Nov. 22. I'm so excited!

Does anybody else have ship info yet?

 

Received at Terminal November 10th. Now out on the open sea.
Vessel: MIGNON Port of origin : SOUTHAMPTON Port of Destination : NEW YORK, NY

 

Can you guys find mine? I think I should be on the same boat. I can't seem to find it on the site

My VIN is

WMWRC33546TK73860

 

It appears that you haven't been logged yet with WW. You should keep trying as it will just "magically show up" at some point. From what I see is that you got to the dock on the 8th or 9th, so 4 days there without info is not unusual.

Bookmark the above site and insert your VIN (repeat several hundred times.) it will come up eventually.

Best of luck
