I'm excited to see all you "newbies" stalking your MINIs! What frustrates me is the fact that I seem to be the last one in my production date range still waiting!!! UGH! It's been a loooooooooong wait! My birthday present was picked out on April 24th and ordered on May 2nd. It was born on May 11th.
Well...the waiting will be over tomorrow! I have my pick up appointment set at 10am!!! Hip, hip!!!

Looks like Tombarra is taking the scenic route near Catalina Island. Bad mini's for partying too much and encouraging the captain.

Looks like the cars are though customs already. (At least that's what I assume "CUSTOMS RELEASE" means.)
The bad news is, now it might be ready and waiting before my scheduled days off.

Thanks for the update Winston. I stopped watching it every day and boom, they somehow gained two days. (Woot! for El Nino ocean currents!)

Will your CMS stay on the same ship or do they offload at the VDC and then reload onto another vessel?

Awesome! I checked Winston too and it says the same thing. I never knew you were onboard with Winston and a few others in here. Where have you been the past 3 weeks while we were cracking jokes, eating popcorn, drinking beer and singing sea songs? lol

Plus, I don't drink; which seems to be a necessary component of enjoying sea shanties.

it's been great looking at this thread during my painful wait... but that wait is soon over. Going to pick up at 5pm so no more stalking ships, harrassing my MA or calling 800 ASK-MINI for me.
I'll still come in and provide morale support for those still waiting if needed

Nope. Her track was too far over the horizon, but if I had been on San Clemente Island, I'd have seen her for sure.

I believe they get offloaded at VDC first, go through its check, and then reloaded to another ship bound for Hawaii…
