In reality the Week Groups for the most part are when the production starts. You are a Week 29er. I started in 29, but got bumped to an earlier production. I completed in 29 and feel more akin to the folks here that he 28 group.

From looking at the posts and the growing list it appears that everyone waiting in the South or Midwest is still at the dock.

 

Just checked my MCS was a Week 29 and is now waiting for a boat to the west coast. Should be here to crunch some Fall leaves.

 

I think the next ship departs on the 29th for the west coast btw
Congratulations!!!!!!!!

 

Ended up going with Patrick MINI in Schaumburg.

week 29 becuse we are a friendly bunch and most people use the start of production date..... besides we're not picky.... just join right in!!!

 

Can I join your group too?!??

Production complete 7/15 and waiting for a ship. Don't know if it made the Caribbean Highway this past weekend (K Line so no tracking). If it missed the boat, its probably because it was having a pint in the pub.

Heading to Oklahoma City (via Charleston?).

 

Certainly...your MA can tell you what port you are coming into and may even be able to tell you what ship.

Looks like my OL has finally been updated to say "En Route" as well.

I'm On Turandot to Hueneme

 

Hello All!

I actually didn't start using this site until a few days ago when I began to get desperate about getting information on when I can expect delivery.

I have been a long time waiting for my order! My MA originally estimated a 10-12 week wait (this is now week 11).

I have been building MINIs in the configurator since the new MINIs came out, waiting for the time in which I could buy one. Up until a year ago (and 4 years before that), I have been commuting 50+ miles each way to/from work. Now I work just 8 miles away from home, my current car just turned 100K, and the planets seem to be in alignment, so I am ready!

Right now, though, I am at wits end trying to guess which ship I will be on. My VIN does not show up on the WW site. I went so far as to go through 300 Booking Numbers on WW. 10 per page, from GBSOU659300 to GBSOU659599 and my VIN isn't on any of them.

I asked my MINI dealer if they had a booking number, but they told me that nobody has that information and I must be confused. Which, at this point, is probably true!

I came here, hoping that someone else close who shared my completion date (and heading to NY) would have more info.

Sometimes I think the schedulers at MINI use dice to schedule production/shipping!

Welcome bond, james bond, which ships records did you check against with your vin? Mine boarded the Fedora on monday and is just today saying released for transport , online, so if yours has been a few days like that, try the turnadot(i think thats it s name) and then check earlier ones like the patriot. Theres probably a few others in between but can't think of them at the moment. use the how to track your mini sticky for link s to find out the ww ship schedules. there is also a possibility of it being on a k-line ship , but with more info like the actual date of assembly and factory qa, we might be able to help more.

 

DoubleO

Mine was completed 7/18, and is also sitting in England awaiting transport.
It will be coming to Memphis, via the port of Charleston.

 

Yes, the sticky was very useful!

Based on the destination port of NY (although this has not been confirmed), there are a few potential, however, I was only able to get a NY Booking Number for Fedora. The other two candidates stopping at NY from WW are Don Juan and Integrity, leaving 7/31 and 8/9, respectively. If anyone has NY Booking Numbers for these two ships, that would be great info for me to have!

I understand that K-Line is pretty much a black hole for tracking. I believe that my MA should be able to at least get the Vessel name in this case, no?

My Completion date was 7/18.

 

Our MA emailed today and she is aboard the Caribbean Highway! Kiminchrg and tennesseemini, have you communicated with your MAs today?

well, if i remember correctly the thread talks about from port to port being sort of a black hole for ask mini and ma's alike.

try your vin w/ another ship, like the turnandot

 

Double o

actually call your ma, i just read this from the week 28 group:

Just got off the phone with the lovely Rachel at my dealership (not my MA but more helpful than she ever was!) and my little one is on his way...aboard the Caribbean Highway which set sail on 7/19 and is due in to the Charleston port on 7/31. Can breath again!!! Thanks for all the support, fellow 28 weekers, and good luck to those still waiting! Peace

 

Oh WOW!!! Speed deacon, I haven't spoken to my MA today. Do you know if the Caribbean Highway is WW or K line? If it is ww we can track it. However, i'm not so sure about the K line.

I'm really getting excited now.
