Hi Week 25er's

Here is what I just got from my MA. No details (boat name etc.) but I have a call back into him to get those. Looks like its on one of the K-line ships.

Hi David,
Your MINI is currently in transit to South Carolina and should arrive there on July 8th. It takes roughly 7-10 days to trasport it here at the dealer. I am expecting a delivery day of roughly July 15th. I will keep you updated on its progress.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Alex Drabant
MINI of San Antonio

 

I haven't tried that. Anyone want to volunteer?

 

If I read the schedules right the K-Line ship "Caribbean Highway" arrives in Charleston july 8th. It left Southampton june 26. Maybe thats your ship.

 

 

That's a good idea to try. I also read somewhere that if we gave K-line a bill of lading number they could look it up to see if ours were on the vessel. But, our MA will need to give the bill of lading number to us.

On another note - still no reply from my MA, John in Nashville.
Considering the $$$ I just spent (albeit well worth it!) , one return telephone call shouldn't be asking too much.

 

I'm in the same boat (no pun intended) on not hearing from my MA. I'd like to find out if I'm on a boat or not so I can quit obsessing.

 

Mine is yellow but now that I see these red ones i am having second thoughts. I guess it's a little late to change it now...

The black and gray checks look great with the red!

 

Wouldn't worry about it Diggy -- the yellow looks good and was one of my top choices as well. Lots of reds are driving around out there, so you have a little bit of a rarer color at least.

 

Out of curiosity.... when did you arrive at the port to await a shipping vessel?

 

You know.... the only gripe I have with Nashville is the difficulty I've had in contacting them and timeliness of them getting back to me. I know they are swamped right now most likely... and I have no complains about their flexibility in my dealer options.... but man are they tough to get ahold of.

Of course this is made worse because I absolutely hate not knowing what is going on with my shipping and not knowing if I made a boat last week or not.

 

I just got this from my MA:

"Vessel: CARIBBEAN HIGHWAY
Voyage No.: 70B
Bill Of Lading No.: HAM109158
Xref No.: 09967-01

It will probably hit the port the 10th. The MINI will likely get here the week of the 16th."

Good for you Jeremy! It's a good feeling at least knowing where it is and about when you'll be motoring!

I on the other hand have had no luck at all to get a return telephone call or email about where my Mini is. It's been out of production and sitting at the dock since 6/22 and I have no word at all about it. For all I know, it's still in Southampton!

 

I've yet to get response from Nashville. Calling again.

 

Bingo. Got Richey on the horn

Good news! I'm on the Carribean Highway! Woo!

 

Just got off the phone with John. He is going to look my car up and give me a call back. Hopefully I have good news also. I'll keep you posted.

 

Just tried calling my dealer, and got no answer, so who knows at this point. Hopefully they'll call me back before the end of the day. Probably on one of the two K-Lines though, I'd assume

 

I just got a call back from John. No luck on a boat yet. I guess I'm waiting.

 

I don't know if this will help at all, but I have to Bill of Lading numbers for both the Emden and the Caribbean Highway. Supposedly, you can inquire directly to K-Line to see if you're included within that BL#.

Emden: HAM109023

Caribbean Highway: HAM109158

That's Excellent news! Since it docks the 8th, you'll be in your sweet ride in no time! Congratulations! Did you decide on the design for your roof?

I finally connected with my MA, John. I did not receive good news. My Mini is still on the dock. That is still very hard to believe at this point! WW has Independence II going out SATURDAY the 5th, arriving the 19th, and then the 'ever-lovin' K-Line has Sierra Nevada Hwy leaving the 5th also, but arriving the 17th.
Either way - I won't be able to get down to Nashville until the 26th of July.
That's nearly another month. And - this is thinking I snag a lift on either of these.

If not...nothing leaves again until July 11 & 12. I don't even want to think about that. I won't have a day free to come to Nashville until.....the first week of September. Yikes! Oh well...

 

Me too - I have John as my MA also. We didn't seem to have any luck. I still cannot figure out how so many that came after and even the same time as us are nearly here, but we're still sitting on the dock. Happy for msduncan though!

See guys you will now have a short wait Congrats...mine hits the 9th

 

Hope they make it before the hurricanes out there, there are 2:(

 

No response from my dealer. Go figure. Bah.

 

I have a good feeling you are on your way

 

Well I tried to figure out how to pinpoint the Carribean Highway on google earth but failed miserably.
