Have you looked in some of the other production support threads? It could be argued that [New MINI Owner] = [NAM Member] = [Nuts]

They still have updated my status on the OL, or the automated ASK-MINI. I was told that I've been received at the terminal but I'm still not showing up on the WW tracking page. I'm hoping that I'm on the Patriot, it just hasn't been updated in the system! (It will be much better once I'm on a ship and on the way. I don't want to worry about getting pulled off once I'm on!)

Jearl, are you sure about these destinations? I thought that the Carribean Highway was coming to Houston first to offload the Texan MINI's first

Then go back to SC. Sorry it looks like you might miss the party. We'll keep a bar stool open for you (especially if you pay the bar tab) in hopes that you'll make it at the last minute.

The automated system finally had updated when I called this morning and now says my vehicle is at port with no shipping information... I've heard the Wallenius Wilhelmsen tracking can take up to 24hrs to update and my high level of optimism thinks maybe I can already be on the Patriot and not know it

I was thinking of stiffing them with the bill too, but you're right. Think of how many more of our MINI friends can make it on board if they don't come! Into the drink with 'em!

Why do you think the 'First Gear' room exists? They wanted to keep all the amateurs safe in one place. The real nuts have graduated to the other forums.

I'm not quite sure how many of our new friends are now on board the Patriot, but Congratulations and Bon Voyage! Try to stay on board. If the captain needs to lighten the load, remember your best option is to toss off the heaviest cargo first, meaning Rolls Royces!

And it looks like a great day for setting sail. I just checked the webcam. So y'all can watch here, here's the current picture:

This should remain a 'live' shot. I say 'live' because it only seems to be updated every 10 minutes. Note the local time at the top of the picture. Enjoy.

Here's an updated schedule. I'm starting to fill in departure times.

SHIP..............DEPARTING......ARRIVING
Patriot..........May 3 @16:30..May 12 in New York, NY......May 17 in Charleston, SC

Tasco...........May 8.............May 17 in New York, NY......May 20 in Charleston, SC (updated dates, was a day later)

Carribean.....May 4 @21:00..May 15 in Charleston, SC
Highway

So it looks like you Patriot passengers only have a few hours to stumble to your cabins. MINI Trekkie, wanna go see if we can find some fireworks to send the Patriot off?

It looks like I'm going to be on the next ship (Tasco?). When I called the automated ASKMINI this morning, it still has the message saying my vehicle is complete and waiting to be released to the carrier. I'm bummin' a little, but Tasco is only 5 days behind Patriot. When I spoke to a live ASKMINI person last night, he said his screen shows that my car has completed all the last steps of production and quality control but could not figure out where it was...

Oh, and about the tattoos...just make sure they're fantastic pieces of art, not back room scribblings!

I just looked again and still no Carribean Highway listed. I wonder if they got wind of the mutiny and are going to go directly to Houston to avoid the mutiny? I'll go check the Houston and Galveston port listings.

I was just closing up windows, cleaning the desktop and spotted that the Patriot has been delayed by 30 minutes. I bet they found room for a few more MINIs! Right now y'all are about 2 hrs 30 min from sailing.

Hopefully I'll get a return call quickly!

NO TO MUTINY! My baby needs to get home.
