good morning to you too. Yes i don't sleep past usually 5:00 or 6:0am most time.
as soon as i hear birds singing or light coming through -I'm awake! I'm a very light sleeper. My husband is amazed I'm always up very early.

and of course as soon as I wake up I'm thinking about getting onto NAM! I'm pathetic!!

 

So assuming if MINI uses "K-lines" this is untrackable? So I could be sailing as we speak (type) and Nugget is on her way? That is way I'm so surprised she was not on the Patriot because she was complete on the 3nd.

 

Anything is possible. If you have been waiting at port for that long, that is our best guess. Definately frustrating. I say contact your MA again. I think they know if you are on the K-line shipping company..

Someone may know more than me though..

 

thanks! as you said anything is possible.
I emailed my MA yesterday but it was after 5:00pm so maybe Monday I will know something more.

 

well your MINI is somewhere, and my flight is somewhere too....

I am stuck in an airport waiting for a flight to Chicago, but since the weather sucks there at the moment, it was delayed 2 hours.

SHOOT ME NOW.

 

well it could be much worse if you didn't have your computer with you!!!
at least you have us to talk to while you wait and those 2 hours will go by very quick.... time for a cup of coffee and sit back.

 

ok so here is some information to pass along and get others opinions on - i was reading about a clearbra to have installed on my MINI when it arrives.

this link everyone was talking about it and i'm thinking I might want to protect Nugget's front end.
Any thought from others if they are doing this and if it is worth it???

 

im definitely getting one put on, i frequently am around gravel trucks on the highway and the front of my acura looks like the surface of the moon.

 

where are you having it done? at your dealer or outside?

 

my dealer doesn't install them in-house, they have a few places they send customers to.

 

Thanks!

 

I had one on my 350Z and then on my M3.

by FAR the best thing you can for your car. It really does what they say. You can barely notice it. It stops the dings. And even better it makes cleaning the bugs off WAAAAAAY easier.

 

thanks - I think this is the way I will go also!

 

flight update, still on the ground after having boarded at 5. Flight was supposed to leave at 3:30, so yeah going on 4 hours late. Good news is I am on the clock right now getting paid haha

 

jeeeze, that's a long wait...
at least you're not sitting in 95 degree weather like it is here...

My car isn't listed on the W&W site yet... I'm assuming they just don't update on the weekend since nothing has changed. There's only 40 cars listed on the Asian Chorus, I can't imagine that's all they ship with... My MA said I should make it on but still not official yet.

 

Yay! My "boy" was born on June 4 at 0638. (Should be completed on June 10) Hoping to make the Fedora on June 17!

He had his VIN 2 days after birth ...

 

Asian Chorus was in Bremerhaven picking up some of our larger cousins.

 

It also has stops in Sweden and Belgium so presumably there are also Sabbs and Volvos aboard.

 

Sabbs and volvos are part of the FORD motorgroup and are no longer made in their mother countries both are made in MEXICO!!!

 

SO i checked the vin number on the patriot and my car was not found but im sure its on the patriot any help... or advice?

 

how are you sure its on the Patriot?

If your car was completed 6/06 and the Patriot left 6/06, you may not have cleared customs/inspection in time to make the boat. My car arrived at port the morning Rigoletto was due to leave and didn't make it on board.

SAAB 9-3/5's are still made in Sweden AFAIK

 

1. Saab is owned by GM, not Ford.
2. Most Saabs are still made in Sweden. Exceptions: 9-7X and 9-2X (which are/were made in the US and Japan, respectively- not in Mexico).
3. Most Volvos are made in Ghent, Belgium. None are made in Mexico.

 

ok point given how ever gms are still assembeled in mexico and the bottom line is that they are both shitty cars !!

 

my care finished production on 06/05 and the patriot left the port on 06/07 at 8 pm in the evening!! so i think it has a perrty good chance on being in that ship!! the next ship leaves in 14 days correct?

 

Depends on what port you are.. there's 3 ships leaving next week, one for each.
