Same here- in the Paint Shop, scheduled for completion tomorrow (10/4). So close I can almost smell the new car smell!

Still no movement on my MINI. Maybe I'm destined for week 41.

 

The MINI USA automated line says I have an estimated completion of 8 Oct Now. That is one day earlier!

Lets pray that it has the H/K sound system in it.

 

Sriracha's in the body shop!

 

Clive's production is complete and awaiting release to the carrier!

 

Great! Same story here- completed production a day early (10/3), passed quality control, and waiting for transport. The rep I talked to made sure I understood that they no longer can track the car- must be getting tired of hearing from me.
So now on to trying to figure out how to isolate which ship she's on. So far no luck, but at least it's something new to obsess about.

Cheers!

I am in the same boat (well not actually on the boat yet). My car is at the port in England. How do you follow the car from this point on?

Another thread said to go to this web site and put our VIN in as tracking ID:

Nothing for mine yet but I would imagine nothing would show up until later in the week.

 

I called this morning...Tui is in the body shop, but I don't know as of when. Estimated completion is tomorrow.

 

Same with mine no info.
Ron

 

Metal grey Sriracha is now Chili Red Sriracha, as he made his tour of the paint shop yesterday!

Scheduled completion is tomorrow, so I'm not sure if today would be more paint shop, internal assembly day, or QA day. Can't wait!!!

 

My MINI is in the pait shop!

Just in case anyone was following along with me.

 

Well, for any of you who are as OCD as I am, I checked the thread on how to check shipping and pulled the schedule. So here's a list of potential ships:

UNDINE
Southampton - 10/7
NY - 10/16
GA - 10/19
TX - 10/23

TARONGA
Southampton - 10/8
MD - 10/17
GA - 10/20
MANZANILLO - 10/24

INDEPENDENCE
Southampton - 10/7
MD - 10/18
SC - 10/21
GA - 10/23

MANON
Southampton - 10/13
NY - 10/22
SC - 10/24
GA - 10/26

TURANDOT
Southampton - 10/9
Manzanillo - 10/21
CA - 10/30
WA - 11/3


Keeping fingers crossed that Clive makes it to the Undine!

 

My MINI is waiting for a ship. Is anyone in the same spot??

 

Awesome post, Mystic!

Also, in the event that any of us end up on K-Line, here is the link to the K-Line schedule. (I'd post the dates like Mystic did but I wasn't 100% sure whether they were departure or arrival dates).

 

Greetings, I've found these forums hugely helpful. My MA gave me a VIN and production # right out of the box and said it was starting production 10/3. I called the 866 number and they just told me it's completed (10/5!) and at the port of exit. Great news, but nobody knows any more. Looking at the WW schedule, the next ship for the West Coast is 10/9, the Turandot. KK Line looks like they don't go to the West Coast, so I think this is what ship I'll be on. Am I right, or is there another way for my vehicle to get to the dealer in Sacramento, CA? Also, what week does this make me?

 

I think you're right on target Patrick. I'd assume the Turandot for all of us on the West Coast unless the VIN's don't check out for some reason. But we probably won't know for sure until someone's VIN gets processed. So I guess we keep plugging our numbers into the WW site until we get confirmation. When I spoke to the ASK MINI people today, they said it's now in the hands of the Dealer to let us know how our car is getting to them (what ship/carrier) so I'm going to pursue that angle as well.

With all of us converging on this I'm sure we'll know something pretty soon. And I think, like the rest of us, you're a solid week 40.

Just checked WW this morning and my car is at the terminal, booked on the Undine for arrival in NY on 10/16!

Who else is partying with Clive on the ship? He's buyin' the first round

 

It's a boy! Sriracha was born today, weighing in at a healthy 2701 pounds, 5 ounces!

 

Miracles do happen.
My car has mysteriously shown up at the port of exit.
I missed out on the entire process of following the build due to a lack of any person or site being updated. Probably saved me some stress anyway.

Now, let's see if my MINI can stow away on the Independence bound for South Carolina.

 

Awesome news, Johnny! Sriracha's bound for Charleston, too, so maybe they'll be traveling together! :D

 

Congrats! All you East Coasters get a head start on us... gonna be early November before we get a ride! Ah well, at least by then we'll know what to expect from the 2010 loveliness! Not to mention the revised interest rates...

The WW site does not have my VIN in it's database yet. I wonder if it will make the Independence since it departs tomorrow.

One can only hope.

It's still convertible weather till dang near mid December down here in South Tx so I can get at least a month or so of comfortable airy motoring.
Then when it gets too cold I'll just load it up into the back of my 4x4 truck and show it off that way.

 

Likewise mine has not shown up on the WW website yet. Just to check, am I supposed to put the VIN into the Cargo ID? Someone said put just the last 7 in. I even tried the last 5, but if I do, I get a list of other makes and models of cars that have been shipped for the last year or so!

 

I put the entire VIN in the Cargo ID field.
