I'm on a __________.

Fill in the space above.

 

Nice. Hopefully you get a ship that can be tracked across the Atlantic. Unlike mine, where it stopped showing up on either of the ship tracking websites, so I have no idea where in teh Atlantic it is right now.

Oh, I'm looking at your options, and it reminds how funny it is that Mini lets you get the black headlight housings with your MCS w/ JCW package. But they wouldnt' let me get the black housings with a JCW though it was something I really wanted on my build. I don't know how they come up with the restrictions on the options cause it makes absolutely no sense to me since they should be interchangeable.

 

Very nice darthhen! Congrats again...I see that it was worth the wait.

It's my turn tomorrow. I can't wait to see mine...I might do a drive by at the dealership this afternoon

 

Out of curiosity, what sites are you using to track? I'm using marinetraffic.com and expect the ship to drop off their radar tonight.

I did notice that about the black housings on a JCW. I don't pretend to understand the logic. However, the JCW gets the black Challenge Spoke wheels that I wanted so badly. Maybe I'll swap/powdercoat at some point...

 

Porgy is out of range of marinetraffic.com, onto the silent abyss of the Atlantic ocean..


Sailwx hasn't updated Porgy's position since last night... see you in Halifax!

 

Update from my MA:

It's here YAY!!! Can't pick it up 'til tomorrow BOO!!!

 

Same thing happened with my ship, the Torrens. I have no idea where its' been in the past 3 days.

 

Alright!!!

 

Weeee...mine made it in today late (800 miles from VDC).....dealer prep tomorrow.....tint and clear bra friday.....pick up saturday.

 

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

 

Just placed my order today... So the wait begins.

 

 

We have matching rims! Woohoo!!

 

Hi guys, I ordered my MCS on April 11th and it began production on the 18th. The estimated completion date is the 4th of May, however, the last update in the system for my car is from April 21st when it entered the body shop. I have called ASK MINI daily and the status has not changed. Is it normal for a car to take a week to go through the body shop or do factory updates sometimes lag behind the actual production status of your car?

 

Perfectly normal. ASK-MINI and the Owner's Lounge aren't reliable. The OL shows my car at the VDC; ASK-MINI tells me it's awaiting a ship. Regardless, my MCS arrived at the dealer two days ago. Don't stress the "updates". Your car is closer than you think (and closer than MINI tells you).

 

Talk to the live person instead of the automated message. The automated isnt updated much. Mine says its still waiting for transportation still, but my car has actually been on a boat for a week already and is due into Baltimore in a few days.

 

Thanks for the replies, guys. That is reassuring to hear. I've been in touch with the live representatives and they told me everything they knew. I need to go sit under a waterfall for a while to help with my impatience.

 

Any difference between what the Owners Lounge calls En Route and ASK MINI (automated) is actually reporting the car as In Transit?

 

She's here.







Rooster Red color line with Carbon Black interior trim!


Much more motoring to do!


First Mod!!!

 

I'm gonna join you...

Were gonna be way over weight waiting for mines

 

Dayumm, she's a beaut!

 

Can you say that again, but say 'Clark' at the end of it?

Sounds like Cousin Eddie in my head.

 

She sure looks nice Mo'phat!!!

Congrats.

 

One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time!!!

By the way, love the car, especially those wheels.

 

Very nice, congrats!

No idea where my mini is, my MA is...MIA
