looks fantastic! Great combo! Must be great to finally drive it.

So, how do you like it? Your spec is similar to mine (different color). The upgraded seats are very comfortable. And I see you got the H and K stereo. I have owned an '08S, a '12S, a '15S, and a '19JCW, all hardtops. The 2022 JCWs with the new DDC suspension is an incredible advancement.
The runflats were so awful in my '08 and '12. But, the tire noise and ride are really good in my new 2022. I have '17 wheels and all-seasons.
The other thing I really like is the new 8sp auto.Shifts silky smooth when driven easy and shifts hard when winding it up.

Good looking car! I see you have the 6 speed. I would have loved the 6 speed but, 4 shoulder surgeries later, I figured that wasn’t the best idea. I plan to get my windows tinted as well. I’m sure you’re getting very anxious!

@ironhead3fan sweet!! Congrats and thanks for the awesome pics! I’ve enjoyed following your JCW journey👍. I’m probably 10 days out…and still getting the .99 cent carrier updates

Today was the day! Great to get a new car for the New Year! So much fun to drive and noticeably more powerful than my 2016 MCS. Very pleased with how well the Dynamic Damper Control handles the terrible roads we have in Toronto even on Sport mode! These are the 17" winter wheels/tires, but I'm sure it will be great with the 18"s JCW Course Spoke 2-tone wheels with summer performance rubber in a few months!😊

Well, I pretty much confirmed that my car is not on the ship that left right at the end of the year. I corresponded with somebody on Facebook who stated that they are on the Kline Hawaiian Highway, and both the track your MINI website and the dealership had that information within 24 hours. I was hoping that mine was on that boat but that the tracking information wasn’t updated because of the new year holiday. Appears that it is still in the UK sitting in the port now over four weeks. Sure would be nice to give you guys some good news.

Greetings, my JCW Clubby finally arrived on 12/27/21 at Flow MINI in Raleigh - it was delayed at port evidently software that needed to be updated on the vehicle. Then it rode around for four days on a truck - kind of bizarre. Car arrived in perfect condition and I'm super psyched to back in a JCW Clubby again. On a side note - the 2021 Mazda MX-5 Club Recaro edition I was supposed to trade in unfortunately got sideswiped by a gargantuan Ford Expedition - driver claims she didn't see me and didn't know what happened. Screwed the pooch on getting rid of that car (which I'm beginning to hate). Good news is hopefully pay a bit more down on it and get rid of it once my ordered 2022 JCW HT arrives. That car will be strictly for commuting back and forth for Fuquay Varina to Fayetteville.

Well, apparently (and fortunately) my original hunch was correct--the system was not updated until this morning for my vehicle. This morning, the mini tracker showed my car as "In Transit" for the first time, and my sales guy found out it is indeed on the Hawaiian Highway which left Southampton on Dec 31. I had heard from another person whose car is also on that vessel, and his stuff updated on Jan 1, not Jan 3. I guess your mileage may vary.
The good news is, it should arrive in Baltimore on/about Jan 11 (ETA says 20:00 so could roll to Jan 12).
Will keep you posted!

Great! Exciting times, best of luck with your arrival👍 My order docked at the CA port on 1/3/22. 1 800 Mini advised (yesterday) truck transport was ordered shortly thereafter but has yet to arrive.

Hmm, second stop in Baltimore Area. Since very early this morning, it was moored up at Dundalk, where I marked in red (top left) on the map. It just moved over the past hour or so to Sparrows Point. I am surprised that they make 2 stops in (basically) the Baltimore harbor, but I guess they have different logistics companies with different lots along there who take possession of the vehicles and get them transferred to trucks for delivery to the dealerships.
I am pretty sure that IronHead3Fan's car was unloaded at Sparrows Point, so my guess is mine is being unloaded there as well. Mini Tracker still says "in transit".

@G-52 Sounds like you're going to have yours any day now as well. My sales guy said the estimated delivery to dealership is set in their computer as Wednesday, but I'm hoping earlier.
@ironhead3fan Let's see pics of that tint, once the glue dries!
