Tracking info for the Daedalus Leader shows it hitting the Panama Canal around the 22nd at 1300 (assuming they mean Z and not local time). the Canal web-cams are great, hope to see it pass through in a few days.

 

My MCS was ordered 1/7/12. Rolled off the assembly line yesterday 1/20/12. I have been clicking refresh on the ww tracking site with increasing frequency now bordering on OCD. A ship leaves tomorrow for NY and I suspect I am overly optimistic to think it will sneak on board. Which means one more week to wait.

Any one have any idea with how long it takes to go thru the distribution center?

 

**pout pout**
I ordered on the same day but mine isn't expected to go into production until the first week of February :(
I'll be where you are in about three weeks and until then I'm major OCD'ing and checking to see if it goes in sooner.

 

I just got the same update yesterday that my mini is "awaiting transport." Who knows? Our cars just might be bunk buddies

 

Holy smokes my mini has snuck onto Tortugas and departs today!!! Due into port 2/1/12.

Mini has been a model of efficiency. I am Very impressed and excited...

Ordered 1/7 production number 1/9 done with production 1/20 loaded on ship 1/22

Cricketine .... Not trying to rub it in I'm just too damn excited. If it makes you feel better I have been trying to get a mini sense thanksgiving but was yanked around for a very painfully month by my MA. I was so dissatisfied I almost brought a Ford. But On a last ditch effort I went to a different dealer. The process this time has almost made up for it. Hang in there.

 

All aboard Tortugas now moving along at 14 kts out of the English channel. http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shi...MMSI=235050734. Can track it live on this site. Any one else make it on board?

 

My MCS is aboard the Tristan. Anyone else?

 

The Daedalus Leader is approaching the Gatun Lock at the Panama Canal...and wouldn't you know it, the Canal Cam is down!!! argh!!

On the bright side it is inching it's way towards Port Hueneme!

Our MINI's are almost home!!!!

 

How long does it usually take to process cars at the NY VDC and dealer?

 

I think this depends on if there was any damage to your MINI during transport. In my case, the boat docked on a Thursday and was at the dealer in Peabody, MA on Monday morning. As they say: YMMV but hope for the best

 

Me and my car are due to arrive in NYC on the same day! Wish I was driving it home! Hopefully they'll be in the dealerships and ready to go early next week grips03 and MINIFUN07!!!

 

Aw, it's all good. I just know that someday my baby will be built and my ship will come in!! LoL


Congrats!

 

Greetings from Colorado all! New to Mini's (though I grew up with the classics), just ordered a 2012 Countryman S ALL 4 from Schomp in Denver on Jan 17. Cosmic blue with black top, Nav, Tech, Cold Weather, Premium, Tech, Sport Suspension, and Bench seat...come on VIN!!! Cant say enough about how good my experience at Schomp was.

cheers!

 

Hey KirkSwim

Waiting for the Tortugas to come back online as it crosses the atlantic too.

Reading your story about dealers seems to fit that all dealerships are not created equal. I wish there were more accountablity for them to the brand!

 

WW site - has the cars clearing customs and liner release 1/25.

 

YEAH BUDDY!!! OL says that Claymore is en route. But, I'm all the way in Seattle.

I guess this is worst part right?

 

trying to track the daedalus leader, noted the down webcams thru the panama canal, and now they aren't updating their position via the sailwx.info site!!! anybody know where the daedalus leader is currently????? looks online like they are taking an extended vacay in the caribbean....

 

Duh. Who wouldn't???

 

Our Daedalus Leader is in the Pacific steaming its way up north to Port Hueneme. Port Hueneme shows it arriving on the 2nd while another site showed it arriving on the 4th. The DL is hard to track...but our MINI's are getting closer each day

 

Hi fellow Coloradoian (Is this a word) Just got mine in December. Welcome. Also, check out the license plates from Craig Hospital

They well go great with your MINI

 

grips03 and MINIFUN07, I see Turandot docked at the port in NY/NJ!!!!! woooohoo! After today, I too will be in NY for the weekend so will have to remember to check in for updates!

 

So today I told myself not to check OL to see if Mini Z had moved on from "on order". Yeah, THAT lasted about 2 minutes. I clicked on "wheres my baby" and squeezed my eyes shut and waited about 10 seconds after the music quit to open them. It says that my car is Scheduled for Production!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually squeal screamed.

Go Mini, Go Mini, Go Mini!

 

Yay!!

 

Tracking the ship..... when does it come back online while crossing the atlantic coming into Halifax then NY?


I like seeing it move while at work.

 

Yes, it tracks when coming into Halifax and then leaving again. It stops tracking until it comes back into the NYC area and docks in NJ.

The Turandot docked this morning!!! Now I'm just waiting for my MCS to get to the dealer!!!!
