It's listed on the Port Hueneme Vessel Schedule.

Got my number off a bit... Looks like 864 BMWs and 457 minis on Tomar and 916 BMWs (and 1 MINI we know about) on the TL

Not sure if Buffy came in yesterday or this morning but she'll be ready for pick up on Wednesay! Maybe yours is in too...

Yay, can't wait to see pics of Buffy!

Haven't heard anything yet from my MA but I'll give him a call in a bit.

Ha, if we can pick up the same day... we could have a Mini MINI Meet up afterwards to celebrate!

Still no word from my MA so I'll poke him again shortly.

MA called today and said that my Roadster will be at the dealership on Thursday (10th). That is about 1-2 weeks earlier than I had thought at the beginning of this whole process. I'm super excited!

Ok! Cleared Customs! MA says waiting release from VDC, then 3 Days Truck ride.

The waiting is now getting intense! So Close!

Woohoo!

Talked to my MA and apparently they have not yet finished installing my driving lamps. No ETA yet.

I think I'm going to go make sure I've cleaned everything out of my current car so that once I get that phone call, all I need to do is grab my purse and checkbook.

Congratulations, Wry!!! I picked mine up yesterday and I couldn't sleep 'cause I could only think about how much fun it is to drive my MINI. My kids asked me to go around the block an extra time when I dropped them at school today. I think they're as excited as I am. Soooooo worth the wait!

I pick up Stella tomorrow afternoon and am so excited I don't know how I'll sleep tonight.

I talked to my dad earlier and he said "I'm sending you a new baby gift, for the baby car." Ha, curious to see what he picked out. (He did say that my cat would be able to fit inside this mystery present . . . Hmm . . .)

Cleaned out my old car this afternoon and have a folder all ready with my car title/registration/etc and all 3 sets of keys.

My friends are probably thrilled that I will stop pestering them with the tracking/status updates.

I'll post some pics this weekend.

Wry

Congrats! Awesome looking!

Is it everything you expected?

Lil Maky gets its dealer upgrades tomorrow and Tues. We are all set for a Friday pickup. What a journey, learning to relax and be patient
