I have kept myself from calling too often to speak with a person - only about 4 times total. But at one point I asked if they minded if I call every day and if they have a record in their computer of how often I call. They said that they're happy to talk and they don't know how many calls that I've made.
These are the same people who answer calls for roadside assistance and complaints so I get the feeling that vehicle production status call are the best for them. Those callers are always happy and excited to get information.
Talk to them!

Just made my second call to ASK MINI today. Spoke with Doug. More good news for my car. They finished assembly quality check today. It should be out of the plant tomorrow or the day after.
Doug said that with the current ship cycle it has been takeing 4-10 days to get on a ship depending on where they are in the cycle.
After it crosses the pond, he said a week to a week and half at the port of entry for emission checks, wait for truck, and other things. Then it will ship to the dealer.
He also said once the car is released to shipping, the dealer will know more than ASK MINI and may be able to say what ship it's on.
Go Week 13!

All this excitement prompted me to speak to a rep. Everything is looking to be on schedule, the car is in the paint shop and should be ready by the 29th. According to his estimates, I should be motoring at the end of April!
jyarrow, when it does get to shipping, you can track by VIN on the Wallenius & Wilhelmsen site (http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto). According to their site, there's 3 ships leaving from Southampton during the first week of April alone! Or maybe lucky 13 will let you catch the Integrity leaving 3/31 arriving in Newark on 4/9

I check the WW site. Using the route schedule. Hopefully this link will work:
http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...countryList.do. My understanding is that the cars leave from Southampton and I guess yours would go to Port HUENEME. It looks like the MAERSK WAVE leaves on April 2 headed for California.
But then there are other shipping companies they use that I don't know anything about.

Yeah! I just called ASK-MINI, trying not to expect anything more than a production date, and I found out it started down that happy little production line today! I ordered it last Tuesday, so a week from order to production, whew! I thought it wouldn't be here until Summer.
And in other fun news, my parents adopted a pet over the weekend, called me and asked "guess what we named it?!" In a fit of desperate sarcasm, I replied, "I don't know, mini cooper?" And they had... she's "Coop S." And they don't even have a motoring version.

My car has been released to the carrier. I just talked to Doug at ASK MINI and was busted for calling too much. I talked to him yesterday. He didn't care that was I calling back again, but I try not to be too obsessed about this (at least in public).
Now I'll obsess for information on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen site.
