I really hope that little sub is not going to have to be used to go fetch my Mini out of the water.

 

For all those like myself who still show "RECEIVED AT TERMINAL" for the Falstaff, if we didn't make it on board (sniff ), the next ship heading to the west coast looks like the Boheme which is scheduled for departure from Southampton on May 21.

Tick.... Tick.... Tick....
Hmmm... (looks at watch again)...

We just found out we are on the Falstaff. Thanks CA Mini for the great website. Is any Mini from Colorado keeping our baby company?

 

yeah, still recieved at terminal for me too :(

 

yea... still received at terminal for me too. o well

 

We checked and the Falstaff is about 400 miles off the coast of Spain as of about 10:00 a.m. MDT 5/11. The weather is calm and all is well. We'll see how all our babies like the Panama Canal.

 

my info was just switched to the boheme, sadsad. but good journey to everyone who made it on the falstaff (:

 

smooth sailing so far... http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...html?call=SLCO shows we're almost halfway across the pond .

I guess we should consider ourselves lucky that we even made the boat. Are there only 3 of us? (Booyun, CO Mini, and myself)

 

I'm on the Falstaff too-

 

According to the boat manifest I am on the Falstaff. Course, the Owner's Lounge still hasn't updated...

 

yea..no update for me on the owners lounge either..still has me as 'Awaiting for Transport'... but oh well.. i'll just believe what WW says..

 

I am on the Falstaff too. Owners lounge still says 'awaiting transport'.

Happy Panama Canal Day

 

You too! (I hope my mini grabbed a pina colada on the way through...)
Finally, the Pacific!

 

Hey folks, just got on the board after ordering an '08 MCS Clubman which is on the Falstaff as well.

Have you guys tried to track the ship in the last couple of days?? As per WW, it left a port in Panama on the 21st but, it's nowhere to be found: not on sailwx.info which still shows its position in the Caribbean Sea from the 19th) and not yet on oceanweather.com. Hope our long-awaited Minis are not lost in the South Pacific!!

Btw, anyone else on this thread from the SF Bay Area? Any idea of the time it usually takes for the cars to be trucked up from Port Hueneme/Oxnard up to NorCal (hoping that Falstaff does get to Oxnard on the 28th!)??

 

WW shows delayed one day...Crap

 

So the FALSTAFF was scheduled in yesterday? Anyone hear anything? Or is it coming in today?

Hmmm...I live about an hour from Oxnard. Maybe I should just drive over there and see if I can see the FALSTAFF!

 

booyun,
If you head over there, would you do me a favor and look for my SS/B clubman?? On second thought, I may just tag along with you!
I haven't heard anything either--- and neither has my MA...

 

it better be in. i already said it arrived on my list.

Is that everyone here on the FALSTAFF?
According to the WW site she should have docked today. Be sure to report if you get any info

 

WW now indicates that the Falstaff has departed from Port Hueneme. The status on Owner's Lounge hasn't changed though. Our babies are (hopefully) on dry land!

Btw, steaming79, how long did your MCS take to get from the Oxnard VPC to East Bay Mini in Pleasanton??

 

The status on WW has been updated again and it now shows that the vehicle has been discharged in Port Hueneme.



No status updates on Owner's Lounge still.

 

YUP! MINE TOO!

 

the BMW VDC? not long. 3 days.
but the time frame can vary at will.

anyways....i'm glad booyun and the rest of you now know for sure that the Falstaff did a fine job of safely carrying your new MINIs stateside.

cheers.... (i won't be in this thread again)

 

We picked up MINI yesterday evenning and its awesome! Here are some pictures...
