Yeah they are. I read the "Inside the Port Hueneme Vehicle Distribution Center" thread and Dave, the one who posted it pretty much explained how it goes..

This is the one in Oxnard, CA. But I think all BMW/MINI VDC work that way?

I feel as if I have been really absent this past week since going on this business trip. I will be home later tonight and back into the support group with full force.

Don't worry DChap. I think you still have the #1 spot on the most posters in our group!

The roster is built from information shared by participants.

The person wasnt asking about your awsome roster. He/she was asking about the post that showed who had the most posts in this thread.

I checked out their website. Wow, they have some cool stuff. It lets me know that my idea is feasible, now I just need to know the dimensions and I can get to work creating something fantastic!

Ric, the salesmanager is happy to help, as he was when I couldn't find Liz.
The MA's are so busy they must be dizzy, methinks. Just go to the Baron website for his phone number.

Liz says that she uses the email, but I think she forgot. She even called me today and forgot that I called her, and that she emailed me a fax of the shipping paperwork. I don't mind, but I'm sure you will raise someone eventually.

Man, I talked to Sammar and he said they can't tell what boat they are on! BS!! You obviously did it. I need to talk to liz. I emailed Stephanie again, and said that you got your boat info from Liz. LOL. That'll get someone in trouble.

Celebrate KC !!!!

What's amazing is that I put my current daily driver on craigslist.org this morning, and I already got a call at the office. Too bad I have another appointment on the other side of town, or I'd be showing the car tonight !

Gee, might have to rent one for two weeks if he buys on Monday. Wait, that's too much good fortune.

I'm betting a can of synthetic oil that all 3 KC cars are sailing. Let us know when you find out, cknlil !

If you are wanting the count of post to this thread go to the index, find the thread and click on the number in the responses column, and a pop up window will open with the screen name and the posting count.

How's that?

ASK-MINI question

My care is "at the dock awaiting a boat" per "robo-voice" and a live person. The ASK-MINI reps tell me they will have no further info on it and that I have to contact my MA for further info. Is that what everyone else has experienced?

I just got off the phone with my MA. He said that if indeed my MINI was delivered to the port on Saturday (which I had to tell him, and then inform him I was 100% sure it was going to happen) then I could have my MINI as early as next Wednesday! Woo hoo!

Is there a race to 1st delivery?!

Go to the W&W site and try your VIN in the track AutoCargo. That will at least tell you if you are trackable.

HA! Well, I left a sunroof, Comfort Access, heated seats, NAV, Bluetooth/iPod stuff, etc. Looks like Rictus did pretty well with all his/her packages! Nice build!
