According to ASK-MINI, my car completed production on 09/08 and arrived at the port of exit (i.e. Southampton) on 09/10. I've been waiting to see which boat it gets on, but ASK-MINI can't tell me at this time and the WW site doesn't acknowledge my VIN.
Thanks!

Julie at Classic in Ohio told me mine was on K-Line. Once it arrives in Ohio it will be transported to S.D...It's best to check with your dealer as they have more info than the AskMini people at this point.
Thanks for the info...

Mine was done Monday. Officially today. MINIUSA said it was being taped up for trip. Mines going to Port Hume also. E-mailed my MA this morning but no answer. He's pretty good about getting back so maybe I'll get some idea tomorrow. This does'nt get easyier. It's like tring to quit smoking.

We have the 2nd MCS delivered to Sterling MINI and have always had a fantastic relationship with them - hence - we were able to secure a Cabrio spot about 2 years ago...
We miss our buddies back there..

I must be on KLine. I still dont have any access to WW information. Oh well, maybe it will help to restrain my enthusiasm. anyhow, I will be trying to compile a list of programmable options to send my preferences to my dealer. Also a few bits about, "DONT drill my front bumper, DONT attach any stickers or dealer decals, etc"

The Boat Has Arrived!
i think what has amazed me the most about this entire experience thus far is mini's ability to whip me/us all into such a frenzy...lol.. their marketing dept should change their name to the brainwashing dept! ; )
anyhoo - my boat has arrived! ww's tracking page now has an extra ny stop in it which the boat has cleared, so that must mean some sort of checkpoint.... either way, it's here!
now waiting to see if my actual ww auto page updates to show the car as delivered or something of that ilk.

It will tell you when the MINI has been unloaded. After that it is sent to the VDC & you are in Limbo again & at the mercy of MINIUSA or your MA.
Patrick,
What did I tell you Patience pays off & your MINI is moving much faster than mine. Just be sure to check the WW site again & make sure there is no asterisk behind your VIN(means it's waitlisted). Sometimes the MINIs don't make the boat they are booked on & have to catch the next ship
Lois I want my MINI

The Liberty just left Charleston so 92 Minis have just been offloaded. The website tracking hasn't updated yet to say Unloaded but the ship is gone so they have to be.
Is the VPC there at the port or close by or do the cars get transported to the VPC?
My dealer thinks I will have the car here in Orlando next Tuesday or Wednesday. If the VPC gets it through quickly, this may be my last week of waiting.

Oy! Just checked the WW site, and I have been switched to the Trinidad! And, yayyyy, it is scheduled to arrive on the 24th (Carmen was supposed to arrive on the 25th)
Today while I was walking across the campus, I saw a couple of tables with mini cooper replicas on them. Turned out that they were advertising some sort of vehicle share (or something) for college students. One of the guys working there (also a college student) asked if I am interested, and I joyfully responded that I had already BOUGHT a mini and will be receiving it in about 3 weeks !! He gave me this look, like "spoiled rich brat who's parents pay for her columbia education and buy her a new car" . I wanted to say "listen, squirt, I'm not 18. I've been in the military, I've been living independently for 7 years, and work for what I have. My parents have not given me a penny!"
Anyways, sorry about the rant. Had to vent somewhere.
OK, back to work!
Noa
