Just heard from my MA, there apparently is a $500 off incentive again in January, or so she said! Anyone hear the same?

Shipping on the WW line to NYC and car is awaiting transport. How long before everyone's VIN showed up on the cargo manifest? I'm getting antsy, lol.

I asked my MA in CA and he said they don't have the $500 incentive.
Anyone else?

Hmmmmm I wonder if it's dealer discretion?

I sure hope I didn't mishear!

I'm On A Boat!

My guy is booked on the Daedalus Leader on WW lines out of Southampton departing the 9th of January. Odd thing is that the Daedalus Leader doesn't show up on the schedule when I search Southampton to Port Hueneme.

Due to arrive February 2nd! Voyage 017-DDL

My zippy little guy has been sitting on the docks watching the tide roll away, and the cargo ships for a month!

I'm a bit excited!!!! Anyone else on this cruise?

My status is still waiting on vessel. But looks like DON JUAN is now leaving on 1/9/2012 so there is still hope.

I was reading another thread where someones car waited several weeks at the port for a ship, perhaps the ships were full. All I know is that our cars were at the port for a couple of days before Don Juan left, so hopefully they got on.

I just checked the OL and mine just started production. Looking at a 3 month wait... : l But it does give me more time to sell my current MINI "Milton." If anyone in the PNW area is interested or knows of anyone who might be please feel free to shoot me a message. Would rather sell it than trade it in of course.

In the mean time, I'm in the same "boat" as all of you. *tick tock, tick tock*

Matthew,
That is the exact car I ordered, but then changed to WS/B. I also changed the wheels to the 15inch stock, so I could get a spare. But man seeing your car makes me think, perhaps I should have stayed with original order. I think I might have to find a place that sells the 16inch black wheel down the road.

Grips03,
Hey good stuff. Mine still came with a spare tire. I think the S model precludes you from getting a spare.

Looks like you'll have yours soon. Good luck and enjoy!

for some reason I thought only the 15 came with a spare due to being non-run flat, but looks like the non-s always has the spare. good to know.

The Asian King pulled into port yesterday. YES.. Can anyone give me an idea of how many days it takes, with drops, to get to Portland?

ol.miniusa.com - still says awaiting transport, but the WW site has me booked on the Turandot for 1/25/2012 delivery to NY. Booking also shows they got the car at the terminal on 1/4/2012, so the DON JUAN must have been full. So perhaps the first week in Feb.
