The only thing that has changed in the Bronx is a little less crime...just a little. Yeah the weather sucks, but for four months its top down all the way !! I don't do a ton of driving, so during the winter it pretty much is garaged anyway. I saw it at the auto show and I was just seduced by that malt leather seats and sleek style...had to have it!

No good news as of yet. When I spoke to Christine at ASK-MINI, she said my MINI was completed, transported, and released to the port all on 5/2/08.
My MA emailed me and said my MINI is waiting at the port STILL and he will email me once he has any news.

That's the same timeline for me...maybe you will show up tomorrow. If there is one thing I've learned since I've been here, info updates seem to be completely random!

I had another one of those crazy dreams that I looked online and my MINI was set to arrive in the USA May 12th! Once again, I got so excited, I woke myself up. I knew better then to check online and see, so I rolled over and went back to sleep...

But all your dream show your MINI arrive in the US. You need to worry when you dream that your MINI arrives in Cuba.

Where is the Fidelio?
I have been trying to track her, but the tracking program only shows me the Patriot (after I enter Fidelio's name and the site tells me she is at such and such a lat/longitude, when I go to the lat/lon, it only shows the Patriot; hmmm).
So - anybody out there brighter than me (yes, I know you all are) that can tell me where the Fidelio is now?
Thanks

They didn't dump any oil. It was all those Rolls the MINI's throw overboard.

Did you find the Fidelio/Patriot? Where is she? I tried looking on the www.sailwx.info site, but according to that she has been sitting off the coast of Canada for a couple of days now...I know she is due in NYC tomorrow and I am getting very anxious!!

Don't rightly know if I'm technically wk17 or wk18 but Wilbur started production on 4/19 and got to port on 4/30 and is now on the Mignon bound for Brunswick GA and then on to Ferman Mini Tampa Bay.

This is definitely my kind of party in here so you may have to adopt me regardless

Am I the lone west coaster? I can't get any word from my MA or MINIUSA about whether I'm on a ship or still sitting on the dock.

Any other west coast people out there? Have you heard anything?

I added booyun to our group since I'm tracking that ship anyway. We have 4 people waiting to be assigned...outofthebox, ClubDal, ahfs1 and K3rM1t. All West Coasters except for ahfs1?

Called our MA today - he said his last info was "sitting at the dock". But he also acknowledged that he doesn't always have the most up to date info. Still encountering the "cone of silence" everywhere that might help I imagine the west coasters have been picked up by pirate ship and are currently somewhere in the Caribbean wearing puffy shirts and eye patches.
