That sucks. What is even stranger is that the Liberty is still scheduled to get to New York on the 12th. They will probably be changing that to the 13th if they leave today. unless they pick up the drumbeat and row a lot faster.

So some of you that didn't see your car when you tried to track it, should try one more time.

When I track my VIN, the status now shows "LOADED ON VESSEL"
Mine still just says "Booked" and "Received at Terminal"

Mine didn't say Loaded On Vessel until this morning, and the Liberty is still at the port so I'm sure you'll be loaded on if you can track your VIN.

When I searched for my VIN, it's part of the information that gets displayed if it finds your VIN.

I'm not sure there is a way to search for a Vessel. Attached is the info displayed.

They are just teasing us. Yesterday Southampton was in red all day and the ship is still sitting at the dock. AISLive still shows the Liberty at the dock. Southampton port information still says 22:30 (5:30 PM EST) departure. I need to bump up my meds. I was not going to let this process get to me again, but I seem to have been sucked in.

Serenity now, serenity now, SERENITY NOW!!!!!

so what are your plans for you car when you get it?

So, who already has plans for mods/personalization of their MINIs when they come in?

As for me, I have to get the windows tinted first thing.... and put some stickers on the back window. And I already have some JCW checkered floormats waiting on it.

V1 hardwire kit purchased, almost ready to pull trigger on wheels/tires for summer (going with stock 16" bridgespokes and all-seasons as winter wheels).

Also eyeing Whalen *****.

Ditto! Just got my V1 and hardwire kit the other day. Living in FL, I'll be replacing the bridge spokes and leaving whatever I get to replace them on. Haven't decided if I can wait to wear out the run-flats or just try to sell them with the tires on them.

Not decided what mods yet. The JCW Aero Kit is being put on at the VDC. I have a badge holder if that counts?

What's this V1 hardwire kit? The one that came in the V1 box, or is this something else I need to buy?

Same thing that came in the box... I just needed a new one for the new car, since the crimp is a 1-time use thingie, I think.
