Thanks for the info. My Vickie is currently on the Bess, currently in Halifax, due in Jersey City on the 14th.

Hearing about some of you folks who have been waiting forever makes me feel fortunate. Vickie came sooner than expected. I was anticipating at least 2 1/2 months, I only placed my order on 2/11 and she'll probably be off the ship in just over 4 weeks. Puts me in a bit of a bind since Lizzie's lease isn't up until the end of April.

 

When you get their survey, Ding them for it if you feel its justified. That survey is like gold to them. You'll hear about it when you pick up Z. For the amount of money you are spending, I think there should be a little more contact.

 

Well, we only customized about 4k above base. I'm sure there are many other customers who maxed it out who "deserve" the extra attention. {{note the immense amount of sarcasm}}

Doesn't matter, a customer is a customer. I will look forward to that survey.
btw, it's Monday afternoon and the finance manager still hasn't returned our call from...Monday? Tuesday? Maybe I'm being nitpickity but I'm not too happy with this service we have received.

 

I totally agree. A customer IS a customer.

Yeah. The lack of urgency or even courtesy always bothers me. I understand there is only so much you can do before the car comes but still. Return the phone call.

My MA has gotten really good as of late in being in contact. I appreciate that.

 

Does anyone pick up his/her beloved Mini at SoCal since Fedora's arrival last week? @-@

 

Mine's supposed to be there any day. Maybe tomorrow.... Not holding out much hope.

 

Just checked OL, it said estimate delivery date is 3/14. My MA told me to wait for his call earlier today......I'm soooooo ready!

 

Our Motoring Advisor just told us our new Countryman is on the Asian King. It picked up Countrymans in Bremmerhaven, went to Southhampton for MINIs, and is in Belgium right now picking up BMWs. After that it's straight to the Panama Canal and Port Huememe!

 

Tortugas is back on the map and should go through the canal today. It's getting closer.

 

Excellent!! Thanks for letting us know.

 

Looks like I'm booked on the Don Juan which leaves tomorrow! I'm surprised but really excited! Only a couple of weeks away until I have my MINI!!

 

No problem. I'll try to post up some shots of the live feed as it goes through the canal. I think my productivity will be down a little today.

 

Oh, I know. I'm looking at the webcam at pancanal.com. Pretty cool. I guess the Tortugas has some red...

 

That's what it looks like according to the pictures from Marinetraffic.com, right now it looks like it's docked at Manzanillo. Hopefully it leaves soon.

 

Congrats!

I am supposed to pick mine up in a few hours... I am done being productive today.

 

Anybody else on the dover highway?

 

Congrat to you first!! You must be excited! Post some pictures after pick up~I am hoping to go on Friday afternoon (not sure yet) but I am sure I will be super efficient then!!

 

Thank God for support groups! I have wanted a Mini Cooper S for 9 years (no exaggeration) and at last, it is built and awaiting transport across the glorious pond. Since I've been building it for 9 years in my mind, I went wild and am awaiting a BRG Cooper S with black roof and mirrors, 17" black web spoke wheels, black lounge leather interior, sport and cold weather packages, panoramic roof, auto A/C, and a HK stereo. His name........'Mowgli'.
Can you dig it? I am happy to be among true enthusiasts at last.
Cheers,
Matt

 

Congratulations! I think I got the bug somewhere around the 4th viewing of the Italian Job, whenever that was.

 

I am more hopeful about tomorrow (Wednesday) I checked with the dealer and they said the VDC kept the car for a few days to paint some minor chips on the bumper. Should be released to the truck tomorrow morning, we'll see.
Keysersozeh: please tell us what it was like to pick yours up. Happy for you!

 

Tortugas has left the port in Manzanillo. Now to make it through the canal.

 

Good thing for support groups. I've wanted one for about the last 4 years, but instead got a 3-series, and then a 350z which will be going back for my MINI. So seeing as how it was time for a new whip, I only needed to look at the MINI, as that would be the best compromise handling wise from my Z. So I ordered in the beginning of February, and it has been without a doubt the most painful wait I've ever had. And the fact that they let you track it makes it that much more painful.

So currently my MCS is on the Bess scheduled to be in NY tomorrow, so hopefully by the end of the week at my dealer, or early next week. (Fingers Crossed) The spec is as follows:
MCS in Eclipse Gray, Black Roof/Mirrors/ Bonnet Stripes
Sunroof
Adaptive Xenons
Cold Weather
Premium
Sport
Technology with NAV
