Maybe it's because when ordering other cars I could never track them like this or maybe its this board.... or maybe its the fun factor. Or all three reasons.
Mine's made it onto the Isolde, too. Hope no one minds that it's a Clubby and will take up 9 extra inches. Congrats to all! Can't believe I've waited 24 months for a car, but none of the others out there made me happy. I just didn't want to settle for the dull colors, lackluster performance and regular cars on the lot. Long Live MINI!

OTTO couldn't ask to be in better company. How I wish they had video of the loading, unloading and processing of them. What a sight. I am amazed at how closely they park them together and that there isn't damage to them.
I almost went with the Lightning blue, but my BMW is blue and I wanted a change. Never thought I'd order another red car, but it kept pulling me back to it.
Wish I had the money for one in each color.

Does anyone know the call sign for the Isolde? On one of the websites I searched by name "ISOLDE" and there were 4, but none looked like the right one.

If you click on the green dot that is Isolde it shows her call sign as SKLB. Hope that helps and that we can somehow watch her progress. Nailbiting time for all

Hey, lots of good info around here! Anyway, just joined to say that our MINI (the fiance's dream car) is sitting on the Isolde as we speak right next to all of yours.

It's gonna be a long 20 days.

I posted this on the other topic about the ISOLDE but in case you didn't see it, here is a screen shot of her leaving port.
