I may have had computer/web site security issues on my machine as I went to another computer and found it was in fact booked on the Fidelio. She docked about an hour ago and is scheduled to depart tonight. WW site should update once loaded-will keep checking. Found a live web cam at Ryde (Portsmouth) and saw her going through channel.

Xing fingers I'm a shipmate with Spice Orange!

 

I'm also on the Fidelio and it has officially left the port of Southampton. Less than 3 weeks for us East Coasters (depending on distance from NYC port and time at the VDC) and our Minis will be in our driveways.

 

I just saw the boat go by the web cam. I will post a pic when I get home from work.

 

Are you all hoping for July incentives or you negotiated with your MA and have a Written Agreement on price?
Thanks

 

I am hoping for July incentive, or I am going to see what I can do when I go to pick it up, which will probably be full msrp.

 

I'm gonna wait till July to pickup and see what incentives will be available for my Hardtop.
I'm sure they want to sell all the 11's and get ready for 2012.
I'm Hoping for Great Incentives for All Models.

 

This is the boat I'm hoping to get on....still nothing showing as for being booked yet.

It looks like I have until tomorrow and then the next is the Asian King which doesn't sail until 6/21.

 

I hope you make it on!! You should because mine wasn't completed until the 3rd.

Hopefully sales are down for the month of June, then big incentives for July.

 

Here is a picture of the Fidelio leaving Southhampton today. First stop Halifax. Then NYC.

 

"Loaded on Vessel"

All Aboard!

 

On Board, Secure & Happy!

 

Nice, you made it now the long wait begins. The ship wont be in CA untill the 29th.

 

Fidelio just docked in Halifax, next port of call... NYC

 

After a week on the water, Sherman is floating across the Sargasso Sea!

15 more days to the port.....

 

That's awesome, I can't wait for them to get here.

 

Late update. Brunswick, GA 0630 hrs on 9 June. Through VPC and on truck 10 June. To dealer--short trip--10 June. Picked up 6/13. 5 weeks from ordering. A very sweet car. Going to re-name from BUD2 to BUDACIOUS! So much more than my '05 MCS. Nick

 

Fidelio docked in NYC

 

The owners lounge shows a delivery date of Monday the 20th for my car. I am going to the dealer today to put the rest of my down payment on it. I will ask how true that date is. I think it will be later since I am getting the 3m bra installed.

 

Went to the dealer saturday and they said that it might show up that day. It did not. Went on Sunday to see if it was dropped off. It was not. Checked the owners lounge after midnight Sunday and the delivery date changed from the 20th to the 19th. E-mailed the dealer today and there computers showed the date changed to the 19th but the car never showed up today. Looks like I will not get it till the end of the week. Almost 9 weeks since order. My last mini was around 5 weeks. This waiting sucks.

 

Arrived at dealer today. I was told I can take delivery Friday. These are the pics the dealer sent. One thing I noticed is the adaptive headlights do not have the shiney chrome look too them. It is more of a flat silver like the halogens.





I went after work and got some pictures that aren't great since it was dark.

 

Very Nice looking Spice.
Congrats on the New ride.

 

Spice Orange JCW, that's one sweet ride. I have an orange Chevy Avalanche and would have gotten a Clubman in spice orange if it was available. Very sharp.
