Looks like I missed boat number two leaving the port. next ship that I can track doesn't leave until the 18th. I think there is one or two K-line ships but looking for that info is like pulling teeth. Getting kind of nervous now since I want to have it properly broken in before I head up to the Dragon this year. and I want to have all my mods put on before then too.

All is not lost yet ChefTyGuy. The California Highway arrives in Southhampton on March 16 and the Georgia Highway arrives on March 22. Arrival times in Brunswick, Georgia are 29 March and April 4 respectively. Keep the faith.

Just called ASKMINI again, the auto guy tells me its 'in transit' OL say awaiting transit, customer rep says she can only see its at the port, my MA says he cant find any info other than its still in Southampton. A K-line ship left yesterday so maybe i'm on that (wishful thinking). Waiting for my second MINI is worse than the first because I know what im missing out on. Currently i'm driving a 99 z28 camaro which isnt the best sipper on gas.

Sweet!! Congrats to you!!
It's been a really long wait for me (production took nearly a month to start) and being on the West Coast just adds insult to injury with regard to wait time. I'll be at about 11 weeks all told. Glad it's nearly over....

Hi Pro5jeff-
Being on the West (Best) Coast , unfortuantely for us, ships don't 'leave daily'. We are screwed in more ways than one, sadly. I missed three boats, each leaving about a week or almost two from the last. Here's what is leaving Southampton on the WW Lines in the next few weeks:

SOUTHAMPTON26/03/2013 PORT HUENEME, CA17/04/2013 TOREADORCD312-TOD22
SOUTHAMPTON05/04/2013 PORT HUENEME, CA30/04/2013 BESSCX313-BSS25

and here is another line that comes to Port Hueneme that a few folks caught over here that we didn't even know about:

Apologies if you knew all this before. There aren't many of us over here, so hope I was able to help!
Thanks,
Kim

How are you tracking these ships?

Neat!!! Thanks!!

Thanks! I just learned I left today on Boheme. Eta to VDC is 3/21. Hopefully to the dealer by the 26th! Lucky for me, the dealer is only 30 miles from port.

Well, the Capricornus Leader is currently in Long Beach, after stopping in San Diego yesterday. Tomorrow should finally reach Port Hueneme, then probably another 3-5 days to get to my dealer. Quite the wait...

Black wheels on black car. very nice. Red accents on interior are cool too.

Thank you Kim,

I didn't have this information, everything is/was moving along so nicely I can only hope now that I get on one of the earlier ships. The Southampton sounds like a great ship to me!
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks again,
Jeff

Be sure a nd post pictures when you pick it up! I have a SO R59 on the way. The Tiger just turned south in the Celtic Sea and is starting its way to Panama. 21 days and counting to CA!

oh boy!! tomorrow is going to be a great day my friend!! post up pics once you get her! just got my new camera for when my baby comes in. mini ol says 3/15 so maybe early next week.

so im 'in transit' but my MA swears my baby boy is still at the port ?!?!?!

The Tamerlane just made it to the port today. Now for the final wait from the port to the VDC to the Dealer.

Looking forward to a full report with pictures Dewey!

I'm glad to find this and realize that my obsession is completely normal. My BRG Cooper S should be completed today! I'm hoping that the rest of the process goes quickly...

Welcome to the 2013 Support Group! Post a picture of what your new MINI is going to look like, we love pics here.

After a lot of Black vs. BRG debate, here's what I wound up with!

Ahhh! Best of both worlds , very nice!

Just got an email from my MA that Marron is in fact out to see on the Athens Highway with an arrival date of 3.23 into Brunswick. Its amazing the disconnect throughout the ordering and shipping process but i'm lucky to have a great MA who's on top of things and genuinely seems to care about me and my purchase.

ChefTyGuy: Fantastic, fabulous, great. You'll get Marron in time go break him in properly before the Dragon. Next year we'll be there. We're going down to Richmond, MO for the Mushroom Festival on that same weekend. Morrel mushroom, I hope that they have some cooked up. Love them, but so isn't impossible to find.

Anyway, I'm do glad that your guy is on his way.

Not bad at all.

Hi Jeff-
You're welcome! Just a quick note, Southampton is actually your port in England. The two ships are 'Toreador' leaving UK 3/26 arriving in CA 4/17 and 'Bess' leaving UK 4/5 arriving in CA on 4/30.
Just wanted to clarify. Fingers crossed here for you too!
Kim
