Nice! Hope your car enjoys the rough weather heading out in to the atlantic from the East Coast today

....Im just jealous...

 

Stu, think you and I are on the same page...my 2013 Roadster S has been just hanging out for a few days waiting to be transported to the port of exit. Hoping to get on a boat to Brunswick soon because I think I'm going crazy and literally having Roadster dreams.

 

I checked the Robot this morning and I am now at the port. I'm guessing I missed the boat Er. is on...or I am not entering my VIN correctly on the WW site.

Going to see when the next boat is scheduled to head to the East coast.

 

I'm on the Tonsberg too. About time! Now let's hope she doesn't sink...

 

Cool...getting closer! So your car was at port for 8 days?

 

Molly brown is is unsinkable you know. Maybe you should have hung out at the port a little longer. She is at the port waiting for a ship. Hope she makes the Courage today. Nothing on the WW sight yet.

 

This is also a really good one. Try this.

This is great. I love it and so excited for you. I'm going to have to steal your idea when mine boards her boat. I'm "Jelly". Mine is on it's way to the port.

 

Please someone tell me what "Robot" is? And where can I find it?

 

The robot is the voice behind 1-866-ASK-MINI.

In other news, my MA says he will find out today why my MINI did not get on the boat it was booked on.

 

Yes, production was supposedly finished on the 7th and then it took its time getting down to the port. It was supposedly at Southampton by the 8th and boarded today (the 18th) or last night. So at least a week sitting at the dock.

 

And not that it's a surprise to anyone, but both the OL website and 866-ASK-MINI still say it is at the port awaiting a vessel.

 

I'm doing the same thing. My baby is headed to the port as of today. So hopefully it won't be too much longer to board and get underway.

 

Possible good news for you is that the Tonsberg isn't leaving until tomorrow--nobody's missed anything yet!

The info on this pdf changes daily, it's not a fixed pdf schedule.

Example: the Courage was across the channel (Belgium) this morning and it's supposed to leave from England today...so you might have an extra day to catch up over there, too?

Let's hope...

 

Thanks!
Jelly?

 

Any updates?

 

I have a car-naming dilemma. I waited until I got my SUV to name it and decided it was named "Trevor," largely based on the navi system voice. He just sounded like a Trevor to me -- polished, precise, but friendly (YMMV...)

My new Mini has to be a guy as well. It just has the makings of a guy car. Visually, with all the chrome, pepper white, all black interior, etc., it just screams guy to me. But the navi voice (I'm told) is female only. Very confusing. Do not want to name it "Pat."

If I'm feeling brave, I understand I can hack the system and switch to the male Brit voice. That would be great -- then I could name him Nigel or Simon or something. But I don't know how I feel about hacking the navi.

What's a guy to do?

 

Jealous!

 

Thanks, I kind of thought so but wasn't sure if I missed something somewhere.

 

Wow. We get you on a boat and in 5 minutes you're on to dilemma #2.
Wait til it gets here, sometimes they name themselves, like pets do.
"Pat" -- hahahaha!
The car's name doesn't need to have anything to do with the navi voice. That's like saying you can't talk to your vehicle when the key's not in it.
And FYI, my pepper white outside-black inside coupe is a GIRL. And she already has a name.

(Contemplating not hitting "submit" because I fear some of you may send out the dudes in white coats to come get me. Did I say I live in Baltimore? Just kidding.)

 

I think I'm late in naming mine vis-à-vis the trend here...everyone seems to have it sorted by the time it gets on the boat. As far as the female voice, male car thing, I just can't wrap my brain around it. Ow. You see that? You just hurt my brain.

 

ER, Thanks for keeping us all entertained and laughing as we wait.

 

I've always used girls names for my MINIs. The current one is named Carrie because she's sexy and sassy but not a sl*t like Samantha.

Haven't come up with a name for my new one yet, but since it is likely floating in the ocean at the moment waiting for someone to fish it out, maybe something like Ariel. Or Rusty.

No, I'm not annoyed by my further delays at all
