Hey i found that product I was looking for. If you're tall you may be needing one. Maybe even if you're not. I'll post back after i get it and try it out to let you know how it works. Supposedly that will be 3 weeks or so.

Eagleav8r-

Are you able to get info from WW's auto tracking or booking number for your Mini from their website?

When I use my VIN or Booking#, all it tells me was that I got loaded on the ship in S'hampton!

I just checked WW at about 17:35, and got nothing more than above.

I am in Tampaand using Ferman Mini.

Yea! Bianca's been discharged too at 14:00!

Soon... Soon...

I've already got my iPod playlist set to play while I drive her home, starting with "Cosy in the Rocket" (how appropriate, huh?)

Yes Sir- mine was discharged at 14:00 today.

Now for the trip to Tampabay. Hope he arrives Wed. as noted above.

Good luck to all of you with your Minis from the Don Q.

It has been fun taking the trip with all of you.

Exciting that the wait is almost over, but so sad that this thread will fade away soon.

Let's all meet in Brunswick, GA in one year for a reunion! We can show off our MINIs and talk about our first year motoring.

Who's your MA?

I called my MA and asked if I could do all the paperwork early. He said to come on in so I went in this morning and signed all the papers so I can concentrate on the fun stuff when I pick her up. My MA showed me on his computer that Bianca has been loaded on the truck. He's promised to call me as soon as she shows up at Global.

Don't know Rob, but give him a call. I'm so glad I got that taken care of. Now I can focus on the fun part of meeting Bianca for the first time and learning all about her!

Edje, your car looks sharp! How do you like the sunroof?

Picked Fred up on Saturday. I'll try to get a pic loaded later tonight. Every time I look at the car I break out with this goofy grin that takes forever to go away. Pretty cool!

Thanks - the sunroof is great. I was thinking about leaving it out but I am very happy with my choice as it really contributes to the open feel. Also, they don't seem as loud as other sunroofs I've had. Doesn't it look great with both tilted?

Awww... I was hoping for some recognizable pics of Huntington!

The sunroof looks great with both tilted! I didn't know you could do that! And I love the color. Great car!

LOL! Love seeing Main street again! (Or is that New York Avenue?) But, someone put a cup on your roof!!

How did you get the pics in the text of your thread? All I can do is attach thumbnails.
