Thanks BoilerUp and Del. The OL and ASKMINI must not be updated too often. They said awaiting transport with no ship info. On a fluke I entered my VIN on the WW site and it was already on the Freedom and enroute. It will take me a little longer to get my car since it must be trained from the dealer in Chicago to Seattle where I pick it up.

someone at mini2.com just posted that Classic Mini received 4 mini's this morning.... anybody here who ordered from Classic heard yet if there's were of one of the 4? hopefully mine was :smile: .... it's getting exciting.....

 

I'm assuming it's delivery to the dealership.
I can't believe that your MA said The Car is on the boat...

 

just got an email from Julie of Classic... nope, my car wasn't 1 of the 4 that was delivered today...although, mlebeau got his in that delivery... HOORAYY!!! at least, that's 1 in our group........ just have to wait a bit more now....

 

Yep, here are the pics of my new baby. I posted them on the MINI2 August thread earlier this morning. :D

[font=Verdana]Well, my car is at MOTH. Mike called me this morning and I told him that I can't pick it up until September 16, because that was when I scheduled vacation time to go get it!


I offered to let him put it in the showroom until then. They have no cars left to show so he jumped at the offer. He did say that it was the first Purple Haze they had received. He also said that he thought the red interior looked great with the color. Someone asked him about the "blue one out back" and he had to tell them it was purple! I told him it might be sacrilege to have the only 2005 be one without the center speedo (mine has the chrono pak) but it’s better than nothing!


Everyone's so hot to get their car, and I have to let mine sit 20 days![/font]

 

Fantastic!

And I thought waiting was bad a couple of week ago

Pace - pace - pace..........

 

Hehe, I wouldn't worry, you'll certainly still get your car before me. Mine ships out from OH to CA on Sept 10.

Car is at the dealer, and I will be taking delivery around 4PM CST tomorrow! I will be sure to take quite a few photos and post the link here.

Not sure if I can sleep tonight!

WooHoo.....According to ASKMINI automated system, my mini in now IN TRANSIT heading to California. Which means I should be picking 'er up early October. Guess I will call my MA later today to see if she has an estimated delivery date, bill of lading, and shipping info. After two weeks at the port, my mini is heading to the U.S. of A.:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

 

Well, this is my first post here! My lovely Frieda's VIN shows up on the WW ship Freedom, which WW shows as having left Southampton on 8/24, with a 9/3 scheduled arrival into Charleston. However, the Charlestom Port doesn't show the Freedom scheduled in for the next 30 days. What does this mean??

Don't scare me, MountainGal!

My car is on the Freedom scheduled for a 9/3 arrival in Charleston according to WW. I checked the port schedule and no Freedom I'm hoping this is just a glitch

 

Mine is IN TRANSIT to CA also. I bet it's that WW ship that left on the 28th! That puts ETA in the Oxnard VPC around Sept 21 according to WW.

The Patriot didn't show up in the listings either until the last minute. Don't worry.

 

Ok - I get this. But why do other WW ships show up scheduled at the Port of Charleston in the next 30 days, but NOT the Freedom?

I just found the FREEDOM's call sign (WDB5483) on the Ocean Weather page. It looks like she's right in the middle of the Atlantic.

 

Just where we want her since a tropical storm is currently ravaging coastal South Carolina!

 

Let's hope the Freedom has a seasoned crew who put the well-being of our Minis above all else

 

Well now the call sign is gone!?!

It was right in the middle next to the call sign "C6KD4".

 

Hey, if a ship sinks carrying Minis, do you go to the end of the line for new production, or get to skip ahead? If you had Anthracite headliner do they have to give it to you after Sept. 1? Lets all worry about that!

 

You mean like this one?


While on her way to Southampton and then the USA, the "Tricolor" sank in the English Channel on December 14, 2002 after a collision another ship. She carried 2,862 new BMW, SAAB, and Volvo automobiles. In the above photo, her hull rises above sea level at low tide. Estimated Cargo Value: $50 Million.

 

Sirius - now did you really need to do that to us !

 

I'm Sorry

 

OMG - that's just too, too much! It's a little early in the day for a drink...

Seriously, does anybody know if these impending hurricanes are likely to delay things at the Port of Charleston??
