About status updates: I called today and went through the automated menu and it gives an estimated completion date of 5/28. The last couple of days I've called for a representative and got a very nice fellow named Adam -- got the same guy all 3 times (he even remembered me!). He's very nice and says to call as often as you want.
Sounds like we moved right along side each other... I got a 5/28 projected completion date too! Which port will you be coming into?

Unless my car finishes up on the 25th, it's unlikely to make that boat! Anyone know when the next one to NY/NJ is headed out?

My last call to ASK-MINI before I go on vacation (out of the country for a week), and got the news my Clubman is in the paint shop and will begin assembly tomorrow. By the time I get back, it should be all finished and possibly even waiting at port for the next boat out.

As things are on schedule, the 5/27 estimated completion date still looks good. Figuring it will take a few days to get to port, another 10-14 days on the water, ~1 week in the NJ DC, I should be driving away in my new MINI by 6/20.

Damn, that's still 4 weeks away! How will I ever survive without meds?

I'm all for the meds... "Wellington" may well be finished the same time as yours, but he has to make the trip through the Canal to Los Angeles, and then back to Colorado!

The W&W tracking site will be down for maintenance on the 24 and 25. Bummer, I won't be able to check 50 times a day.

Me four! Our Mini is departing on the Electra on 5/27! Now, I wonder.... Where do they unload in US? East coast.... I'm assuming they unload in NY right?

Doh! Just read further on the tracking ticket. Shows destination port to be Brunswick, GA....

No boat yet

Well I do not seem to be on the boat today and since I am pretty sure my car is going to Charleston port I think I have to wait until the 30th for the next ship going to that port, unless I am on a K-line or other boat.

The wait continues.

Sounds like our cars have been going down the line together!! Maybe they will be on the same ship! I keep checking W&W and nothing yet. Hopefully soon...............
