But on the bright side - Your wait just might be good . Here's the projected path of the first Hurricane of the season.

 

Just left message with MA about getting him in contact with my credit union to get the process rolling.

 

Just stopped by my credit union to get more information on their 72/100K warranty. So long as it covers everything I need it to, I'll be happy with it, because the terms and conditions state I can take it to MINI to be repaired. But I do need to check on the towing costs and such. I keep coming up with more questions! Dangit!

 

Last known position of Caribbean Highway

Almost there!!!!!!!!! It should be off the coast of North Carolina by now.

 

Per APRS.fi:

Caribbean Highway ETA: Jul 08 00:30 Local
Courage ETA: Jul 08 05:30 Local

Lots of MINIs coming to Charleston!

 

Do my eyes deceive me, or are you saying the CH is getting there at midnight? That means they can get that thing off early tomorrow and move it to the VDC.

 

That was the ETA the ship gave at its last position report, so I'd say within 2 hours of that. Keep an eye on the Charleston Vessel Report, as they'd be the first to update probably with a "Docked" message.

Of course, if you look at the Emden, you'll see that the Courage and Caribbean Highway will probably have to wait until first shift arrives, since the Emden sat at dock for 12 hours before work began.

Actual Arrival

 

I migt not get the extended warranty as I live so far from the mini store and have great euro guys here...

 

Well my wife got her days mixed up, so she is not off the 14th or the 18th. This means unless they can by some miracle get the car into Nashville by this Saturday -- I'll be unable to take delivery until Saturday the 19th.

 

Crap that a long time:( I say play sick!!!!

 

see if you can get any info on the Ga port I find nothing

 

Unfortunately she can't. I have three options:

1. Rent a one way car, try to get the dealer to meet me at the rental place in Nashville, and go alone. This assumes that my wife wouldn't have to be present for me to sign for the car. I think I put her name on the loan through the credit union?

2. Wait until the 19th.

3. Hope to hades it gets to Nashville by friday so I can pick it up this saturday. (what are the odds here folks? arriving Charleston midnight tonight, to the VDC tomorrow... to Nashville by Friday? Slim?)

 

I have my fingers crossed for #3

 

I'm in a similar situation. I will be out of town when my car is ready at the dealer so I won't be able to get my baby until the 21st or 22nd. :( Oh well.

How great is this?
I thought I'd check out the port-of-Charleston report---the date has changed for Caribbean Highway.
From July 8 ....to .....July 7.
Sweeeeeet!

 

My wife's MINI is on the Courage and I think she guessed right her MINI will probably arrive on the 15th. The day our dealership is sponsoring a track day (along with the local club) where we get to drive our MINIs on a local Go-Kart track. Lots of fun, but will probably mean pick up on the 16th. We shall see, It took at least a week for my MINI to arrive in '05.

 

I think (hope) your chances are very good for this weekend. I think you'll know something definite by Wednesday, July 9. I'm sure I read somewhere here that the dealership receives a daily fax from the VDC each morning for dealership's ETAs. Here's to good thoughts for you!

 

I hope so too! I need to get ahold of my MA to hammer down the financing through my credit union. They are closed on Saturdays.

 

Yeah, I think tomorrow I'm going to get my MA on the horn and get a retail buyer's order faxed to my CU so they can go ahead and cut the check. I'm REALLY hoping to have it this weekend so I can start getting through the 1200 mile break in

 

I called my salesman (I mean, my MA) today and he said my car will probably be there on the 14th or the 15th.

 

I think the MAs will all have a much better idea once our cars all reach the VDC. I'm planning to call my MA on Thursday to get things taken care of.

Just applied and approved for a BP Visa. i know it's not a "top tier" but I trust BP, and it's got British in the name, so I figure it's a taste of home for the MINI.

 

I forgot Diggy...where did you order from?

 

I think she's docking. She's dissappeared from scheduled but is not yet showing up as docking.
