Whoo hoo! According to the shipping site, it's packed up and ready to sail on the Don Carlos! Expected NYC arrival date is the 25th.

My Mayfair is on Shanghai Highway. It was supposed to be in Maryland yesterday, and in Charleston tomorrow. I found a tracking site but it's position hasn't been updated for 9 days.

I'm crossing my fingers that it will be at the dealer next week. I ordered mine on December 7th, so I've been waiting quite a while.

The Port of Charleston website says that Shanghai Highway is estimated to arrive on the 18th. I wonder how accurate that is?

I am on the same ship its killing me to wait. If you go to K-line it has a schedule that says it will be coming in on the 19th as an estimate, hope the 18th is correct.

The object of my obsession?

2010 MCS, stick shift, Mayfair edition, pepper white w/ black roof, toffee bonnet stripes, toffee interior, chrome inside and out (including bonnet scoop), convenience and cold weather packages, white turn signals, h/k sound system, auto AC, anthracite headliner.

I'll pick him up at Crown Mini in Richmond, so he'll come in through NYC.
I saw one much like this being readied for pickup when I was in the dealership placing my own order (in my case for a Camden).

You made a good choice VERY sharp looking car with those color choices!

Awesome thanks for the update. Looks like it will be in Charleston late tomorrow night. Wow this is getting very close now I can almost taste it. That sounded weird ... but my Clubman has Hot Chocolate paint and has Hot Chocolate leather so maybe its not too weird to taste it?

Thanks, Scott. I didn't get to see a "real" one completely done up the way I ordered, but I've seen ones that are close on here. Can't wait!

I guess I belong here! My MINI (yet unnamed, working on whittling down the short list) was born on 2/11/10, and is on the Don Carlos headed to New York.

I didn't get to wait through production this time - they found exactly what I ordered sitting at the dock yesterday before it loaded, so it shaved off some of the wait time.

My O2B/W will be one of the very last O2Bs made. Kind of sad. It will be replacing my 2006 R50, which I love dearly and is even sadder.

Looks like Shanghai Highway docked in Charleston last night. From talking to my MA, assuming nothing happened to the cars it should all be fairly straightforward and predictable from here.

Thanks guys! It's very bittersweet for me, so I'll be happy to take delivery and move on.

Just checked the ship tracking, the Don Carlos appears to be about a third of the way here!

WOW!! Must be very exciting. The last week was the hardest for me. I just wanted to get it already by then. Are you able to sleep? I was wide awake all night and day when I knew I was getting a MINI, LOL.

Yeah we can't wait. Pretty cool both these cars where made about the same time, traveled on the same ship, bought from the same dealer, and will live about 3 miles from each other! Can't wait to give you a wave!

Congrats Melissa on finding your new MINI! It was like they knew you were coming so they did yours ahead of time.

Yes, my failing CVT must have sent the message back to the Mothership!

My MA emailed and wrote "The estimated day it's to be shipped is the 21st!!!" I guess I should have mine this week as well.

That's so exciting, congrats!

Out of curiosity, how did you figure that out? I'm still new at this, so I'm never sure to whom these questions should be directed so far as my MA, etc. Thanks!
