I came over from the UK a little over 20 years ago, and we still get back there quite often, so not an unreasonable mistake.

 

Our's is now at the port. I'm really hoping he's there in time to catch the Tongala. WW don't admit to knowing about him yet.

 

Awesome... I was wondering when you mentioned being over at the UK..Nice to see your MINI is moving right along!! cheers!!

 

No longer waiting! Picked mine up on Friday evening (been too busy enjoying it to post until now).

Hope everyone gets theirs soon! Waiting sucks.

 

Well, the Tulane has pulled out of Port Hueneme, but my WW tracking hasn't been updated to show it discharged at the port...

 

Mine hasn't either...I'm sure it's all just fine!!

 

I bet they update it on Monday. Same thing happened when mine was loaded over the weekend - it didn't update until Monday.

 

I'm guessing its not released from carrier until BMW takes it to their VPC. They work m-f, so that makes sense

 

Beautiful weekend here for driving the new car.

Hope everyone waiting gets theirs on schedule.

 

Im keeping my fingers crossed that I stay close to my scheduled time for pick up...

 

I must congrats you on your photographic abilities. Here are two more great pics of your new MINI. I will be posting some soon. Too busy driving my Roadster because it's so much fun.

 

Thanks, and it's great to finally have it home, isn't it? Don't keep us waiting too much longer!

 

Mine is registered as having been delivered off the boat. Now we play the waiting game!

 

Last status for mine was: in the paint shop...

 

Mine should be at the dealer tomorrow, ready for pickup by Wednesday.

That will be four weeks and five days since the order was submitted to MINI.

 

That's not bad at all ...that's making good time for yah! Im just curious to see how long mine will take...so far everything seems to be going as planned..

 

Yay, Finally got loaded onto Asian King! NJ bound for June 13th. Hopefully the VDC is running smooth...

 

I'm tentatively scheduled to pick mine up Friday or Saturday.

 

Hey, this is potentially good news for me. Mine was ordered May 18 and should be done in production June 6 (this thursday). That means if my timeline is similar to yours, and I too am going though Hueneme, then I could have it in early July.

Congrats!

 

I am very envious of those who have gotten their cars recently. I just got my production number today, and I'm (not so) patiently waiting to be able to follow the build and delivery process online.
I've ordered an R56S, PW/PW, Carbon black leather & fabric int., Carbon black color line, Sport package w/ black 17" conical spoke wheels, Xenons w/ black housings, white turn signals, auto transmission (my clutch leg is next to useless), auto climate control, Sirius/XM satellite radio, Anthracite headliner, and center arm rest. I hope I've chosen well.
My MA tells me it will take about eight weeks to get it to me here in central Florida. My wife and I are like a couple of kids on Christmas Eve. And this old fossil is already researching what I can/should do for my first mods.

 

Woah!!!!

Big update for me. Mine showed "scheduled for production" since May 21, 3 days after I placed the order, but today for the first time the "order details" has been filled in with my customizations, so I suspect she is moving down the line. Everything I ordered is there on the order detail except the black driving lights and JCW gauge package, which are installed at the port.

One happy future CMS owner here!

 

My JCW was "born" on June 1st, and waiting for "Awaiting Transport". Hope she makes a ship in the next week! Maybe might get her by my birthday in early July.

 

Others may have figured this out long ago, but with my cargo ship (Faust) in the middle of the ocean, I thought I wouldn't be able to track progress until it got close to the Panama canal. Turns out you can use the "Vessels" tab here: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/

Punch in your ship name, and it will give you a location, albeit several hours old and with no icon on the map. But it will at least give you some kind of update. Pretty cool!

 

Yippee! Just learned my MINI is safely onboard the Michigan Highway as of June 2nd. Currently (6.3.2013 @ 6:28 UTC) located at N 49°43' W 007°16' (Celtic Sea). First port is Baltimore ETA 6.10.2013 14:00 EDT. Need to check ETA for Brunswick, GA.

 

Ours is booked on the Tongala, as we'd hoped. The Tongala is due to sail from Southampton tomorrow.
