The full schedule for the Integrity seems to be as below. (I copied from the voyage details on the WW site, then just reorganized it a bit; the dates from WW are DD/MM/YYYY.)
Now, my question is whether they actually unload our cars at NYC and Baltimore, or if those are just stops that the ship has to make for some other purpose. Baltimore is technically closest to me (I'm in Michigan), but I think if I got off in NYC it might get here sooner. Or by unloading in Charleston, that would add 3 days' time on the ship and probably another day or two of time on the truck. Anybody know how that works?
Code:
19/04/2008 - Depart SOUTHAMPTON, UNITED KINGDOM 28/04/2008 - Arrive NEW YORK, NY, U.S.A. 29/04/2008 - Depart NEW YORK, NY, U.S.A. 30/04/2008 - Arrive BALTIMORE, MD, U.S.A. 01/05/2008 - Depart BALTIMORE, MD, U.S.A. 03/05/2008 - Arrive CHARLESTON, SC, U.S.A. 04/05/2008 - Depart CHARLESTON, SC, U.S.A. 05/05/2008 - Arrive BRUNSWICK, GA, U.S.A.

I don't think you have a say in the matter of where they unload your car ... you're either NYC or Charleston (I haven't heard of Minis being dropped in Baltimore -- must be for non-Mini cargo, or refueling, etc.). Thus, wherever it says your VIN's destination is on the first page that comes up after searching by VIN, that's where it goes. Despite being closer to another port, they have methods to their madness that only a shipping/trucking logistics expert could appreciate...

Well, I was a week 15 build - ordered on April 2nd.
It's now been delivery prepared and is sitting in the Morristwon Mini showroom waiting for me tomorrow AM. That's less than four weeks from order to delivery - quite impressive considering there is the shipping from the UK.
My build was finished on the 11th as far as I'm aware and the car made it onto the Courage which got into NYC on the 24th.

For those of us who are truly obsessed (and who on this site isn't) and still have a MINI on the Integrity, go to the following site
http://www.jammercam.com/
and click on Surf Cam. If it's daylight when it gets there, you'll be able to see the Integrity in the background approaching Charleston harbor. I occassionally use this webcam as a 30-second Isle of Palms "desk vacation" and sometimes will see cargo ships going by.

Made it Home!
We just got home from picking up the MINI!
It arrived at the dealer about 3pm, my MA said I could pick it up today but they wouldn't have time to detail it. Because of work schedules my next chance to get it would have been Tuesday
I didn't want to wait that long. So I said I would take it dirty.
So we rushed down to the city and then hurried home trying to beat all the storms that are breaking out around Oklahoma.
I listened to the weather reports all the way home. Funnel clouds, tornados on the ground, baseball sized hail....
Made it home safe. Ah, spring time in Oklahoma.
