hello from yet another newbie in florida

Just recently bought a MINI, all pepper white. Now I anxiously await arrival.
Seems like no one else is in my production week, or on the ship I am on....
but does anyone know where the VDC is for the ships last stop in Brunswick, Ga? I seem to have more tracking info than my MA. I'm trying to figure out
how long it will be from Brunswick on 12/9 to south Florida dealership.
Any help or thoughts are welcomed. Thanks!

Looking forward to not just joining, but actually being
a part of the mini world.

Welcome!
Just think about tax filing being due next April and that should help speed up time.
Congrats on the purchase!

Welcome to the club!

You'll have lots of reading to do here to while away the time until your MINI arrives...

Maybe you need a new stove. It doesn't take a week for water to boil!

Anyway...

Welcome!

I can't answer your question about how long it takes from the time it docks in GA, but I would like to know how long it takes YOURS since mine is just a week behind yours!

BTW, what dealer did you purchase yours through?

New stove...funny. I ordered from Vista MINI....my experience with them so far has been great. I've also been tracking the whole way. I know, way too much time on my hands. At the port in Southampton 11/19, but not a ship till 11/25....the WW site has been dead on for tracking the ship. Originally due in Brunswick on 12/9, it has been bumped up...now arriving 12/7. Will let you know how long from then....the home stretch is killing me.
