I agree... if ones MINI is just starting production I wonder how long that would take... I feel a bit lucky..all and all mine moved along nicely...even getting shipped.. I got right on a ship and that doesn't happen often..lol. I wish everyone that has a MINI in route or just starting...a fast delivery!! cheers!

 

Cool. That is what I did on July 1 when the Tiger went through. Videos in this post.

 

Hello Minians!

I've received notice this week that my mini's been shipped off and I've been tracking the boat (Morning Concert) through the link that was given to me. Anyone else on this boat? and, realistically, how long does it take to travel halfway across the world? They gave me an estimated date of arrival of 08/08, and it left the port around 07/20.

Here's the link they gave me, is there one better that others are currently using for tracking?

What port of arrival does yours go to. I wonder if ours is on that ship...just because of timing). I still don't have the VIN number but it said "on route" on mini lounge site yesterday ... Ours is going to Baltimore I think.

 

Could they pick a more cool name for a ship ?

 

If you are on the MINI Owner's Lounge TG you can get your VIN! After you click "Where is my baby?" the last item is "Review Order Detail". You will see your Production number and then right underneath that is your VIN.

Then you can go to the WW site and enter your VIN number and confirm which vessel you are on. I almost forgot. Put the VIN under Cargo ID.

YES YES YES! thank you.
I missed that all together on the mini lounge site

It's in Southampton and loaded on the ship
ETA in Balitmore August 8th

It's our first custom order car and the wait is torture

Much thanks again

 

Congrats!! A custom order car is unique to you. You will love it!!!

 

Hi to all! A new mini owner here. My wife just bought me my first mini. 2012 JCW R55. You could call it a Christmas in July present. So far its been three days of driving bliss. Looking forward to doing some car shows, and maybe a dragon two.

 

Welcome to the thread... great color choice !!

No fair joining without a wait though.

 

Try this link I think it better cause you get updates every 99 sec. It is like watching paint dry but being this is not paint and you can just leave it running in the background and check in every so often. You'll want to put in you ships name.

Sweet tug I was going to do this but other obligation (darn work wanting me to do stuff they just doing get it sometimes lol) I was not able to do this. This is cool I can show my kids they didn't understand why a boat needs to go through "locks". My youngest asked if our Mini has keys to all of them and if it cares them inside to unlock the locks them hahaha.

 

Less than 24 long and agonizing hours, CR...

 

Yep... trying not to think about it too much. Fortunately, my job is helping with that today... damn busy day!

I don't think you'll have any problem spotting me in the crowd tomorrow.

 

Something like this, right?


(not sure why I can't embed a youtube link...)

Crazy Nintendo 64 Kid-Too Excited - YouTube

there it goes!

 

Something like that.

Think MINI ballcap and a little gray facial hair... you'll find me.

 

Hasn't your car been at the dealer for 3 weeks? I am beginning to think you didn't order one, and that you don't actually own a Mini. You just like hanging out here.

 

You can. Just hit the YOUTUBE button, then put in the code, which for this video is JkiIPG7I_AU - you can get from the URL.

 

16 days as of today.

And nope, never owned a MINI, never even saw one, what do they look like any way ??

 

CR, go get your damn JCW and put this to rest, please!!

 

20 hours.

 

19 hours and 35 minutes.

 

984 hours 15 mins. Give or take 72 hours.

 

 

Oh no! it's lost at sea! . . . it has not reported since Southampton and is no where to be tracked . . . I guess there's a point where too much information is no good, Ha ha!
