I just found yesterday from my MA that I'm on the Frisia too! I guess I can stop plugging my VIN into the WW site. So much for the Mini tracking that says my car is Awaiting Transport.
I found this:

But it's only for containers.
I found the call sigh: 3EAF4
But it apparently hasn't submitted a weather report so tracking doesn't show.

Toronto in Port in NY
For all of us on the Toronto. It made port in NY this morning. If you check WW's website using you VIN number you can see when your car was discharged from the ship.
MY DS/B MCSa was off loaded at 8:00 AM and is now about 100 miles from its final destination. Can't get here soon enough!

If you enter EMDEN it shows it as being off the coast of the Carolinas on the 22nd. So you are probably on schedule.

Got off the phone with my MA.
The ship did indeed dock & unload on schedule, and my car is appparently either on its way down here or soon to be.
My car is expected around the early/mid part of next week, with 1-2 days of dealer prep. Asked him not to wax it/seal it but said washing was OK, he seemed cool with it.
I am considering naming my car Roscoe.
RE: The above question about swirls: I am not sure if the dealership would cause paint swirls, but they are really easy to get if someone uses a buffer improperly. I had a blue VW a ways back that had paint swirls, and it really chapped my behind every time I waxed it.
I will be using only nice, soft microfiber, klasse AIO and P21s wax on my vehicle.
Whew what a rambly post. I am excited my car is closer to getting here!

USB and Gas Mileage
So I found a suprise in my car..... A USB port. Crazy right? I though that it was not going to be out till 08'. It is next to the AUX jack. I have a memory stick hooked up right now. It is sweet. I have averaged 35.8 Mpg which is mostly city rides. I am sitting at 580 km on the tank with an estimated 245km to go. I am looking to get 500 Miles on the tank. Sweet

Mine is US spec. The law is that you cant ship a euro spec car back unless it is 25 years or older or if you find a dealer to make the vehicle US spec and that could cost into the mid thousands...

That's sweet and congrats. The owners lounge also told me that it is at the vdc and a delivery date of August 29th. Its so close that i think i can smell the exhaust fumes.

That's super cool about the USB port Eurokoke. Congrats! I take it that you got it as part of the Convenience package as it's supposed to be part of the Bluetooth kit I believe (i.e. it's proobably being controlled by the Bluetooth module). I really hope my week 34 production car gets one.
BTW, do you have the MFSW with cruise control? If so, did you get the new cruise control speed display (on the on-board computer) as that's a new 08 feature as well I believe? Also, what about the auto up driver side window (another new feature for the 08 cars). Did you get that too?

That's cool. I was secretly hoping that our cars would come with the USB port. I hope we all are as fortunate as you. Let us know if you find any other 2008 goodies on your Mini.

demapples: It seems we have less than a week to wait. Time to pull out the map and find some twisty roads to go exploring.
#271
BTW, I've started a thread about the USB port in the 2007 MINIs here:
USB Audio Port In 2007 MINIs
Please do let us know if your car shows up with the USB port in it as well (and note that you must have ordered the Bluetooth Prep or Convenience Package in order to get the USB port).

Well I got a nice suprise today. I went to my MA to shop for a rate for the car loan. When we sat down in his office he told me to hold on a sec and when he came back he said that my MINI had just arrived and they are taking it off the truck as we speak. . It came two days early. My car will be ready for pickup tomorrow. Woot!
I just have to decided if I want GAP insurance....
