Haha, well anyway, there was a K Line ship leaving Bremerhaven today and getting into Brunswick on the 7th. I really hope your MA gives you some good news and your car made it on to this ship or another.

So my good deal has caused me a significantly longer wait than normal. (the 12 day holiday didn't help) I hope this isn't the case for you, but it could be an explanation? I hope yours makes it on a ship soon!
Oh, I do remember this, but I don't really understand it. Because we ARE a sure thing, wouldn't they want to get ours cars to us quicker?!
Ah well. I'm happy with what we saved and if it means waiting a bit longer, so be it. I'll wait and while I wait, I'll save money for MINIme.
I actually just put in a design idea to GoBadges so I'm excited to see my custom design! A friend helped me design it and I'm excited for him to see it also!

Hopefully. But Jenben is right. We may be in the same "boat" so to speak, as far as our MINI's go. We went out of our way to get a good deal and used group rates (Costco, USAA), and became "sure things" so I guess it's okay to make us wait a bit longer. *shrug*

Hang in there guys...you did get killer deals. I called my MA b/c today was the ETA for hitting shores of the USA...unfortunately, the updates don't go in until later in the day/tonight so she'll touch base with me in the morning. If it did land then I'm looking at 7-10 days now...wow!

Thanks Garm. Wow, it looks like you're getting yours a little over a month from order date! That's crazy!! Congrats!

You would think that, but in their minds, they'd rather get the cars to people who might back out at the last minute. As much as I've hated waiting, I think it was worth the wait. And hey, just remember, you saved money for lots of toys for the Mini baby.

Amen and amen. My husband emailed our MA last night so we'll know something soon I hope.
But yeah, I've already purchased a few things plus we're getting her clear-bra'ed the same day we pick her up.
Saw a black CM this morning but it's not an S; I've seen it before. Hoping to be the first CMS in my town...

Mine was there for 10 days, this is how he received the name "Barnacle." First, you can find the ships going to B'more on the WW site. Then once you find the ship yours is on, go to marine traffic. But def keep checking the WW site.

Congratulations!

Our vessel, Platinum Ray, docked this AM and I expect Tarragon has driven off to the Port Hueneme VDC by now. Hoping for delivery next week... I've been Mini-less for 6 days now and don't like it!
