My Clubman "loaded on vessel" at 18:44 on April 2, 2008. Looks like they might be very close to each other

I checked the sailing schedule for Don Juan this morning and they show Port Hueneme scheduled for 4/24 now. They left Southamton 1 day later than planned.

This link shows the ship in the English channel http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...html?call=SGIX

She's here.

My baby has landed.
She was unloaded in Halifax on the 10th.
Now, I wait some more.
Pictures to follow.

*sigh* Well it looks like we're delayed 2 days till the 25th. Hopefully we all get processed quickly. Looks like they're gonna have a back-up at the port with the Madame Butterfly being so late and the Maersk Wave arriving with a few BMW-only ships also.

Hi eggo,
I'm so glad that you can see her very soon!
Show us your baby pictures !
I think it'll take another three weeks for me (I want to go to the dealer weekend)

argh!! The "Day In Port" For Port Hueneme changed again.

Seems like it's been bouncing between the 23rd and 25th since it docked in Halifax.

ARGH!

Looks like the DJ is crusing at a pretty good pace. We've been bumped up to the 24th. That means we should clear customs before the weekend and hopefully get processed pretty quickly!

Just called LB-Mini and I asked about a probable delivery date. He said not to get my hopes up until at least the beginning of next month.

In other words, he thinks the earliest date would be Thursday of next week.

ARGH!!! SO F'N CLOSE!!!

According to the WW site, all MINIs and BMWs were offload by 3:00pm this afternoon and on the way to the VDC and Tony from Long Beach told me this afternoon that "probably" on Tuesday...humm...I told him that I will pick it up on Friday and he said why not on Wednesday? I think he really want to push it to count it as part of April sales.

I would say our MINIs should be on the same truck to the dealership by Tuesday or Wednesday

Hmm... I wonder if I can get him to toss in a few more extras if I agree to pick it up before the 1st (if it's there)

I really don't have a clue what the 'top dealer add ons' are.
