All Aboard the BOHEME!!

Well it's time to check in on the cruise line scheduled to leave 8/20. Some of our kids were booted from the TAGUS so we hope our MINIs have learned their lesson...

I hope, hope, HOPE that I will be on there! Supposedly my little girl (guy? not sure yet) finished production on the 10th. Can't wait to call for updates on Monday. I am "awaiting transport" according to the MINI online.

I love Boheme so it would be *quite* appropriate, if I make that ship!

*crosses fingers*

I too am "awaiting transport" and finished on the 10th. Sounds like I have a sibling.

Another Tagus dropout here ~ let's just hope our little ones are covered, and not the target of flying sea rats while they wait.

Flying sea rats! Gah! *beats them off with a stick*

I think they'll all hang together and will be a force to be reckoned with. *nods* Yep, that's what I think!!

Good Luck to all the Boheme MINIs from Tagus!!!

There are really cool radars to watch as she leaves Southampton, but once off those, you'll need to go to sailwx.com or something like that to see where the boat is. Tagus hasn't been updated for over a year!!! But I think your boat tracks well. Most WW ships do.

May the MINIs be safe and reunite at some fun event on land!

Thanks - We'll be watching the thread of 'those who go before us' for tips on how to keep track of our little ones...

Meanwhile I'm sure our guys and gals will be circled around practicing their antenna(i) whipping skills to keep the 'sea rats' away

thanks scoopmama! minicounter's right - I've been "practicing" this whole tracking thing with those who've gone before us. I hope to track Tagus with you too. Perhaps by the time Boheme leaves I'll have some idea of what I'm doing!

btw, minicounter - mine's a LiB/B too!

That's fun - they'll be like twins born a few days apart . Did you get stripes? I didn't for now at least... I really debated a lot on colors. My first choice was NFR but alas no 'S' Considered DS but too predictable for my conservative profession so started with Laser Blue (thought that might be too fun) so changed to LiB - somewhere in the middle. Now the interior - thats another (more painful) story. What colors did you all consider and why? (We have some time to kill and post counts to increase )

Is the tracking website down for anyone else? (doh)

I got laser blue + white and have been wavering since! I'm just worried I will think it's too "flashy" down the road..

It worked a couple hours ago - but I see the "auto cargo" portion is not working now... I'm sure they discovered they made an error and that all our MINI's are already 1/2 way across the pond so they're fixing it

I think laser blue is gorgeous! It seems to change from dark to bright depending on the light (and probably the owners mood) I have wondered if I went too far to the conservative . What did you do inside?

hey girlcav - laser blue *is* awesome!!

minicounter - no stripes on mine either! I just really like the looks of it without the stripes (so far anyway, as you say!). The interior of mine is black lounge leather, dark grey color line and brushed alloy interior. Did I remember everything? I'll have to prepare something and get it in my signature. You're right, we've got a lot of time to pass! So, tell me your story about your interior!

Everyone else chime in too - so as we can recognize one another on the big boat!

Has anyone found a picture of the Boheme yet? There is a great photo of the Targus on the other thread, but I haven't found any for this vessel.

I don't know if there's more than one by this name, but here's one that I found.

I'm *still* not showing as loaded on here. *pouts*

I realize there's no hurry, since she's not leaving until the 20th, but I want ON already! If nothing else, it'd keep be from obsessively checking that site every hour.

How's everyone else doing. Are you loaded yet?

Isn't that a pretty ship?

I'm pretty sure you won't be loaded on the ship until it reaches port ~ which is the 20th... save the repetitive stress on your mouse button until the date gets closer

A fellow Laser Blue to-be owner

By the way, does PacNW mean pacific northwest? Is that above California?

Yes it does - I live in California's Canada, or Washington's Mexico Hooray for Laser Blue! I haven't seen any on the road locally, tho there were a few at the dealer when I went for a test drive.

Okay, okay! You're right, Glee. I'll give the mouse a rest for a few more days. It'll cause less stress in my life too.

w00t! for PacNW. Inland, here. WA/ID border, but moving to CA next spring - close(r) to girlcavity. But further south - San Diego. Funny they never call that the PacSW, do they?

Hi everyone - looks like our ride is finally getting closer!! My 'boss' wanted me to work the last few days (the nerve ) so I had little more time than to scan the goings on. Looks like you've all been doing your part clicking and checking the website !
I found this on the web for our ship
http://www.walleniuslines.com/doc_up...1184313424.pdf

I think they will get 3 movies, private porters, swimming pool and sauna, lots of air and of course all you can eat ice cream 24/7!! I hope the MINI's will show restraint or make use of the gymnasium!

Heres to hoppin mine makes it on. Talked to 866 ask mini today and they couldnt tell me if he'd be loaded or waiting for the next one. The bad news of those booted from Tagus makes me wonder though. Been awaiting transport since the 14th.
