I'm actually in DC. I was kind of surprised that the car wasn't unloaded in Baltimore, but I guess there isn't a VDC near there?

A SIGN from the Caribbean Highway!

A SIGN from the Caribbean Highway!

The mutiny is alive! Our MINI's are in control!

I found this picture on Sail WX. It was only up for a couple minutes and then I got a server not available message. Now the link I had comes back with a 404. But luckily I took a snapshot of the map and saved it. KLines is trying to suppress the news of the mutiny, but our MINI's will persevere! They are in control!

(be sure to find the secret message - spy glasses not needed)

So My MA called this afternoon and said my Clubman had arrived. I saw him this past week telling him it would be here soon but he didn't believe me. Don't MAs know more than customers usually? Well I don't know if he is a new MA but he wants to make me his MINI tracker since I kept him up to date. Hoping I will be able to pick it up tomorrow but most likely Saturday. The wait is almost over!!!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Not everyone is as plugged in as we are, so if your MA doesn't know how to track things well he (or she) might know less than you do. I'd trust WW over Owner's lounge in terms of status - OL is VERY slow to update.

I just spoke to Jorge (my MA) and he said that his online system reports that Bimini will be at the new Houston VDC on the 17th. At least I think he said it was the Houston one . But it was definitely the 17th!

oh it's just not fair! All you east coasters are getting your cars and we, on the west, are watching the little red dots on the tracking map get closer to the Panama canal. Easily two more weeks of waiting...

Someone come drive out to Cali to break your car in, pick me up, and we'll go for a ride!

Also, I've decided that the MAs (or at least mine) are pretty useless when it comes to tracking. NAM has been a much bigger help and gets back to me much faster than the MAs.

Ahhh, but your advantage will come when your car actually arrives...you west coasters have a plethora of custom go-fast parts companies out there. Over here all we have are tractor stores...wanna buy a Kubota?

Just heard from my MA Magdalena, and my Clubman S is at the distro center, and will be coming home Monday! Not quite my weekend forecast, but I'll be more than happy to take it. I'll be sure to post photos as soon as I pick her up.

As of now she was scheduled to make port at 4:30pm yesterday. Here's the Port of Halifax status page: http://www.portofhalifax.ca/english/...tusReport.aspx

I've been trying to find a similar page for the Port of NY to no avail.

When I google my voyage number for TASCO, it brings up the BMW equivalent for northamericanmotoring.com. It seems as though there's a ton of BMW's, and my MINI...all by himself...

We'll that might have taught me, but I'm not counting on ever riding across the Atlantic again...
Really hope to get him for the long weekend over Memorial, but I'm not sure that's even possible.
