WOW... you are close...lol Wish I was that close!! It sounds like your have a good MA.. Im not at all impressed with the dealership im at!! I hope I get to grade them in a survey or something..

 

Yep... only a 7-8 day voyage to my port and just a few miles from the port to my dealership. Lucky in that respect.

The Tarago just left Southampton. My VIN not showing up on the manifest. I'll be checking every 10 minutes for the next few days.

 

Well I hope you made that one!! I would be checking every 10 min also.. Im currently watching the Parsifal creep up the bay... Getting closer

 

LOL.... exciting watching a dot on the computer screen creep along, huh ?!

You've been following this thread longer than me. How long does it normally take for your VIN to show up on the WW shipping manifest after the ship leaves the port ?

 

Well from what ive heard from members on here some take a few days to show up while others show up right away.. Or anything in between..lol.. On mine when the Parsifal docked about an hour later it showed up before the ship even left port... I was shocked!! Do you know how long your ship was docked for?

 

It was docked for 26 hours 11 minutes, 18 seconds.

But who was really paying attention ?

 

Just got my production # and 2014 Roadster S is already scheduled for production, estimated completion July 2nd!!! My wife and I won it on wheel of Fortune all the way back in January (airs this July 12th). It has been a long wait, but well worth it

 

Welcome to NAM, you lucky bastard !!

 

Ha Ha right...whos keeping track.. I think in your case that's a better sign.. Ive noticed the longer the ship is docked that usually means the ship arrived fairly empty.. Which in turn means it takes longer to show up that your loaded.. This is not a full proof method but it is something that ive been keeping tabs on.. Just keep checking I have a funny feeling you will show up.. Im hoping the best for you... Do you know what ship is next in line if your not on this one?

 

WOW!! That is awesome!! Congrats to you and your wife..well done!!

 

Thanks, Zippy... and I'll be very happy for you when your day comes very soon to pick yours up !

If I'm not on the Tarago the next ship is the Courage. It departs Southampton next Wednesday.

 

Alright, Zippy.... coming up on 11:00 here and the alarm goes off at 5:15. Gotta fight the urge to get up during the night to check the manifest.

Thanks for the info and don't you stay up too late watching the progress of your ship.

 

Thanks CR... I will be happy when yours is on its way!! The only good thing about my wait is that work has been keeping my mind off of things lately..so it is a bit of a good thing for me...But it is still nerve racking

 

I am trying to recall if the manifest of the Tiger or the Ask Mini line was updated first. The website was definitely last, so don't pay attention to that.

Maybe you can alternate. at :00, :20, :40 you can query the Tarago database, and at :10, :30 and :50 you can call Ask Mini.

 

For those waiting on the Tiger on July in Port Hueneme, the port officially as it on the list.

 

Been travelling this week, but not in our new CM yet, hoping to get her tomorrow or Friday, meanwhile, I've had the pleasure of a 1 week Paceman S AWD loaner which I have to say has been great, still looking forward to our CM though. I was detailing up the loaner cause of the mountain trip and all the nasty bugs, but saving the good stuff for our MINI

I'm hoping for some goodies from our MA after this wait.. Its been almost 2 weeks, and she's been in the US the whole time. Haha

CR: when are you expecting.. After 4th of July?

 

@E: You know, I've run my VIN so many times on the WW search site that I think when something other than "No Records Found" pops up on the screen, my eyes won't even believe it.

@Q: If... IF... I made the Tarago, my MINI would arrive at the port on 7/5. Given the amount of time the dealership is going to have it, I'm expecting delivery mid July, at the best.

Good luck to today to all the Waiters, may you be blessed with progress in huge amounts !

 

YES!!! The Parsifal has landed folks.!!

 

Very cool !!

 

huh ??

I just searched my VIN again and it's showing up on a ship called the Michigan Highway, departure set for the 29th.

Shocked I didn't get on the Tarago. And I don't even see this ship on the schedule for the next month.

 

Sounds like she's scheduled to be in port for just one day before heading up for Washington state. She should be somewhere around the northern Caribbean Sea by now. It's been awhile since I've sailed those gorgeous deep blue sea waters. If I remember correctly, once she arrives at Manzanillo and she is scheduled for transit through the canal, it may take at least a couple of days for her to complete it.

 

I ordered my 20013 MCS hardtop in early June and it is now en route , patiently waiting for it to hit Brunswick Georgia dist. center where they will apply the checkerboard to the dash and then to my dealer.... Ha Ha , for me to take home !! I have driven the same car for 2 years a while back , a 2007 , and loved it so now it is time for me to own one !!
I raced motorcycles for most of my life and had to give it up , old age and too many broken bones , so I mostly hit the beach on weekend now. It's only about 1/2 an hour away and peaceful.
So, looking forward to chatting with people in the know about Mini's and people like myself, relatively new to the scene ......

 

That is pretty much what happened to me. When it didn't show "no records found" I pressed "back" and then re-entered my VIN to make sure I hadn't mis-keyed. it.

 

Was updating OL with a photo of my car. For laughs I checked my vehicle status, and it still shows up at VDC, even though it's in my driveway.

 

Thanks for this, my Baby is on the Artemis Leader, showing to hit port on July 3rd. Anyone know if the VDC will be closed on the 4th? Hoping to avoid too many delays.
