Congrats! Me too!!! My ship is now showing arriving the 21st instead of the 20th, but hopefully it won't spend too much time at the VDC before the hour or so journey to the dealer. I'm having a couple of things installed, so I'm hoping and crossing fingers that I'll be in her by Saturday or Sunday at the latest.
This has been the longest wait of my life besides my pregnancy 20 years ago! But much like the arrival of my precious son, I'm sure the wait will be so well worth it!
Hang in there everyone!!
Cheers!
Kim

 

Nice!! don't worry buddy. . i'll have a TON of pics and a full 1080p video walkaround and inside.. you'll be begging me to stop posting photos/vids

can't wait to see what your baby looks like too!!

 

Checked the WW website this morning and HOLY CRAP! my MINI is on the Turandot. OL and ASK MINI still haven't updated, and unfortunately Turandot is already in the dead zone. Not too much longer now!

 

awesome!
It's funny (and sad) but I leave the previous MINIs I've had built in my Owner's Lounge. So, today, I popped in to check Production Status, as the Countryman started production before the weekend (I know, early, just looking)... and it said 'AT DEALERSHIP' which of course wasn't true but before I could even parse the statement, I realized it's because it's pulling from the Clubman... which I had built in late 2010...
D'oh!

 

Should be picking up our mini this week after it arrived at Port Hueneme last Thursday.
Just saw on mini.com the 0.9% financing offer is back (when we ordered 1.9% was the best rate), so thats perfect timing...

 

Athens Highway is headed up the Chesapeake Bay!!!!

 

ChefTyGuy. Fantastic! You're should be about one day ahead of us on the Tirranna.

 

Anyone else on the Boheme? It has finally hit Halifax, NS and is headed for NYC scheduled to arrive on the 21st.

Where are all my Boheme peeps??

LG

 

ANDDD Athens Highway is DRUNK doing circles before entering Chesapeake Bay, I guess we are waiting on clearance from customs to proceed?!?!

 

Hey we must have been on the same boat! I saw that 0.9% but it looks like it's only up to 36 months. I'm going with a 60 month lease, so I'm stuck with 1.9%.

Any day now...

 

So, our MINI's ready for pickup anytime tomorrow, but we are too busy to get to the dealer until Thursday evening...

 

I am in the exact same boat. Just got in today and tint tomorrow.

 

Has anyone heard any hints about MINI incentives for April?

 

Congrats on your MINI. They should be able to honor the .09%. They did for us...

 

Hi there folks, no Tirranna on the horizon yet. The Athens Highway is at port in Baltimore right now, the Boheme is just leaving Halifax, Nova Scotia, shucks I can find everyone else's ships, but not mine and he's suppose to dock in Baltimore this evening. What did he do, take a different route to Baltimore, beings as he didn't have to stop in New York and came directly across the Atlantic, being no man's land the whole distance? Looks like it. Maybe he did sink on one of the Titanics great, great grandsons ice bergs. Naw, that couldn't happen to me, right? Later, he'll show up, MAYBE?

 

The California Highway was in Southampton yesterday - looked like she was just getting in ... now she's "out of range".

Hoping to hear from my MA that (a) my MINI is aboard that K-Line vessel, and (b) she's en route.

 

Its either u-boats or sea monsters! Nothing to worry about! Just keep checking on marinetraffic.com, sooner or later today it will show up.

 

Could have been the Black Pearl got to her and now all the pirates are enjoying your new MINI and not you. Looks like Athens has been in port for about four hours, I keep trying to convince my MA that it will be at VDC well before MINI says it will. But hey, what do I know?

 

In the same position somewhat. The ship has moored, unloaded and left the port two days ago and the MINI Owners Lounge still hasn't updated anything. I will probably have the car and MOL will finally update to the next step.

 

The mini OL is almost always either late or wrong. They still have my JCW enroute to dealer. That's almost three years ago, go figure. Still no Tirranna, in dead zone!

Yes,

That's the little hook used to take off the center covers on certain wheels.

Here is a picture of the MINI Tire Mobility kit and you can see what it includes. It comes with a nice zipper case with the MINI logo. Includes glove, air pump , user manual , adapter valve, and sealant.

Thanks

 

Ok, FINALLY, the Tirranna has come into view about 30 miles east of the Norfolk bridge to Maryland. It won't make 02:00 UTC, or 02:00 EDT for that matter, but it should be in Baltimore at about 06:00 EDT or so. At least it will be able to unload on March 21st. Now, it's getting interesting again. I'll probably stay up tonight just to watch its progress. No, but I'll probably take a look a couple of times though. Anyway, the waiting is almost thru.

 

Had some free time today, swang by the dealer to have a look at the car & settle the paperwork.
Grabbed a quick pic, will get more tomorrow when the wife & I go to pick it up for real

 

Beautiful!!!! Congrats!!

 

wait... why didn't you pick it up already? They still picking blue plastic off of it?
GORGEOUS
