I must be the Luckiest Person in The World

my car finished production on 10/31 thats 8 almost 9 days ago now. your probably looking for more to this, but thats it. ol says its scheduled for production still. ask mini says (automated) says it was finished on the 31st and is awaiting transport. ask mini (real persons) says it was finished on the 31st no record of anything after that. my ma says it was finished on the 31st and if it goes another week they will try and find out whats going on from the dm. I AM SO LUCK, I AM HAVING THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE TIME I HOPE PARTS ARE EASY TO GET AS THE CARS.

p.s. i can't wait till tommorrow and find out my car finished production on the 31st. Happy Halloween

Vtnomad, ours was finished on the 5th and we were able to confirm its at the port. Next scheduled departure is the 12th. I would have to assume we will be sharing the ride together. You can run your vin with the shipping line, they use it for the container number. And your right about waiting is fun, this is our second and its still just as fun as the first time. Kind of makes you feel like a kid at xmas all over again.
