Woohoo!! Faust is in the port realblanka.

 

We could probably go down there and follow our cars to the next leg of the journey

 

Which port is it at now? Have your dealers told you when you can take delivery?

 

My Mini is due at the port in NY on Dec 20th, and my dealer says that my Mini should be available for pick-up "before New Years."

Would be really cool if I could get it on Christmas Eve!

Yeah, I just got some clarification from my MA. My due at the port date is the 20th, so I'm also looking at a "before New Years" pick-up. The anxiety is a bit unhealthy and is certainly anti-productivity!

 

Totally.

My MA said one and half week if I do not have any problems at the VDC . I was kind of hoping before the 22nd(saturday). I was relieved a little bit after it made it to the shore. Now I am more in the dark than before. Atleast I knew where it was before.

 

OL still says awaiting transport, no word from MA, but I'm tracking Western Highway which is making good time, almost to the middle of the Atlantic.
Due in Charleston on the 23rd, gotta be on there.
Hoping the weather in Chicago is not too harsh when the time comes to pick her up, fingers crossed

 

Ours says its still awaiting transport too and MA said that we should know more in a day or so. I am hoping that it is already on its way to Charleston like your saying. Otherwise I am thinking it will be mid to late January with the holidays. Got my fingers crossed.

 

Where'd all the Freedom people go? I got the call from my MA yesterday saying I'd be able to pick up before New Years but they had forgotten I wanted the chrome gas cap so now it'll be a little later but that's ok with me as I'll be out of town for New Years and wouldn't want to leave the new baby alone at a strange airport. So here's hoping for the first weekend in January!

 

tdm, when did you order/ finish production? Maybe we are together on the Western Highway. Our first Mini sailed with several Texas bound Minis.

 

We were completed on Dec 7th and released on the 8th and have been at port since then with no boat. Even my MA is a bit puzzled as we should have been half way across by now. If it did catch the cruise I am sure they are having a good time living it up on the high seas!

 

So it's likely we're cruising together. We've got the same dates. Here's where we're at right now:

Thanks for the info....think I might start tracking this one along too just in case. Would sure hate to miss out on it. This one is for my wife but since I am home hanging out and she is working I get to track it!

 

OL now says En Route to VDC! 5 day delay in updating?

 

I am still showing that we are awaiting transportation...same as almost 2 weeks ago!! Wish it would just show up here in Texas instantly and stop this madness!

 

Picking up my mini tomorrow (if all goes well with financing and all). The dealer woulnt take my financing saying it will take sometime for the check to clear. I am not budging. I rather wait for the check to clear.

 

mavemini, what ship was your car on?

 

FAUST. Dealer in NJ

 

I think I'm on either the Frisia or Western Highway. Both vessels are scheduled to make port in Charleston tomorrow. My MA told me the ETA was on the 20th, but I can't find any K-Line vessel with a 20th arrival in Charleston. Who else is on one of those two vessels? Any changes to your car's tracking status? I'm still showing "en route."

 

still at the vdc ... apparently they're trying to gather the EPA paperwork, or something. I believe mavemini is motoring around as we speak. sigh

 

I'm still guessing i'm on western highway.Docks the 23rd.Frisia was supposed to dock on the 20th. Must've gotten delayed somewhere,it's scheduled for the 23rd too.Miniusa said I left port on the 14th. OL said en route 5 days later.

 

Well as far as we all know ours is still on the docks. Our dealer has over 20 MINI's awaiting transport at the docks as of a couple of hours ago but we are at the top of the list for the next ride over....have not looked at the schedules yet to see when the next boat docks for the ride to Charleston yet but it will get here eventually!

 

The Frisia has docked in Charleston! Now, I'm just hoping my car is on that ship. The Western Highway shouldn't be too far behind.

 

Darn! I was hoping the western could slip in there first Oh well, there's room for both of them . Is that showing they won't unload 'til 8 am? This means it's only a little more than a week, maybe two, away from delivery!

 

It looks as if both ships were unloaded at about the same time.
