No She didn't make it, from the cruises I've been on in the past, if you go out partying and miss the departure call then you miss that boat.
Apparently she should have had a designated "ship caller"!!!
Altoid is a very good boy not partying too much and getting on the boat!
Since Ask MINI doesn't work on Saturdays, I just sent an email to my MA - see if she know what boat Nugget will be on.

you may still end up beating me to Ottos, I understand that the white sport stripes that I ordered have to be applied at the VDC, whereas Nugget has no options or accessories that need installing there (i think).

Who knows, maybe Nugget will catch up, and Altoid will arrive at Ottos with Nugget at his side haha

yup, i'm happy for Altiod and all the other little MINI's that did make it on the ship.
And you are correct Nugget has no accessories to install so with my time delay and his accessories, they might meet again!

Hang in there, mnimule. I’m right there with you. My MCS was also finished yesterday (6/6) and I’m waiting for my VIN to show up in the W&W system. There are no humans working at Ask MINI today and Robovoice doesn’t have any new news, only that my vehicle has been completed and “waiting to be released to the carrier”. I am working on my underdeveloped patience skills.

wow, you guys went crazy since i left work on friday. lol

Couple things i remember reading in the posts to comment on...other than that, I am glad you guys are rolling along with us.

GemGirl, if your MA said it will be at the processing center in a week, that means the VDC.. most likely you are on a K line ship that you cant track..

Someone said something about the sport stripe being put on at the VDC. As far as I know that is incorrect.

I am getting the sport stripe and my MA said that is done at the dealer..

*shrug.. other than that, my VIN wasnt one of the problem ones listed before..
wohooo...

In one of the other threads, someone posted a blog from one of the captains of the auto ship on the WW line. In one of the blogs she said they drive those cars scary fast onto the ships and park them about a fist of space in between... yikes!

that being said, i wonder if those vins were an issue b/c they bonked one getting it on the ship. lol eek .hope not

Scheduled for Completion June 9

I have a factory JCW on order. My told me Week 23th... but when the sales person made change (adding factor Aero) to the order it slipped to Week 25 right before my eyes

The web site says "scheduled for production with a VIN has been assigned. Today's 866 ASK MINI recording says the car is "in the paint shop and is schedule to complete June 9th.

When can I expect to find out about shipping, etc.?

ASK MINI says that I'm at the port awaiting a shipping vehicle, but I get nothing when I enter my cargo ID. What ship do you think I'll be on? And have you guys seen the pictures of the ships that our kids are on? They're huge...and awesome looking!
