That would be awesome but the paperwork says today. So I'm confused. Did it say when it was due to port in Brunswick?

 

Cool. I just checked the tracking on that site and it says it's estimating the 8th. Wow, that would be totally awesome.....

 

Shipfinder.com says the eta is October 8th also. I gotta believe the departure date of October 2 on your paperwork was just input by some lackey at MINI. Given the fact that their website updates are so far behind also, I am going to go with the ship tracking websites as the best info.

 

Hi to all, this will be my 2nd mini. This one is a Roadster S Conv!! IT has been made & waiting to ship to Brunswick Ga. for 15 days. When will it ship??? Any thoughts??

 

Check with your MA, you might be on the California Highway with the rest of us. I was waiting for over 2 weeks as well.

 

MA? please explain, my dealer gave me the vin number & said it was made on
9/21-12

 

MA = Motoring Advisor. i.e. "The Dealer"

 

Motoring Advisor (MA)
MINI Associate?

 

If you have the vin number can you see if it's on a ship like the California Highway??
my MA seems to know nothing.

 

Here's everything you need to know about tracking a MINI:

You can only use your VIN to see if your car is on a ship if the ship is owned by W&W. The California Highway is not, so you need to check with your MA (the person who sold the car to you), they might be able to tell you if it's on a ship.

Guys, I'm going crazy hoping I'm on the ship with you. Don't leave me behind!!

 

Well it's not found on the W&W so I'm hoping it's with it's family on the [FONT=Times New Roman]Calif.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]I should have waited a week or 2 later to sell my 2006 Mini S Convt. with 15K miles on it. I'm stuck driving a SUV.[/FONT]

 

Unfortunately, the California Highway is one of the ships that's on the K-Line which it makes it very hard to track unless it's in port. Have you checked with your MA?

 

OMG! I think I hate my MA! I sent him an email saying that the WW site shows my baby on board with arrival at the VDC around the 20th. He replies back to me with..."I just wanted to let you know that I will keep you up to date and do not keep that date date set in stone because it could very well change. Sorry to tell you, have a great day" I really want to tell him to stick it! If I didn't want my car so bad I would.

 

Just got a call from my MA. My Justa (ordered 7/27) is being unloaded from the truck at the dealer right now. He says if I wait until after 10/13 for delivery, I can get an additonal $750 factory incentive. I hate to wait another week, but $750 (+ tax)...

 

What did you order to get the $750. factory incentive?

 

Just found out my roadster was loaded on the Fidelio today. Woot!

 

My dealer is having a special incentive day on the 13th. It says "come test drive the new MINI and receive a special factory incentive discount". It looks like the incentive is $750 off the price.

Looks like one dealer is willing to take that off an already-ordered car, wonder if any others will? Sure would be nice if I could get a little something for all the painful waiting.

 

Congratulations!! If you go to the WW website and put in your VIN you can find out for sure. So maybe the MINI computers are finally catching up with the Fidelio cargo?

 

Tell us more....Lots of us have cars on the way. Is this some new incentive we don't know about?

 

I found this to also be a valuable write-up:

Particularly this part:

 

Our Motortober Not so Normal sale is on the 6th and my MA said I would be able to take advantage of this offer.

 

Is this only for Justas, and is this for a 2013 MY vehicle?

 

The difference between K-Line and WW is that you can see from the WW website when you're on a WW boat.

Once you know what boat they're on tracking shouldn't be any different. It's just not that exciting because it only tracks when it's close to land. For me after it picked my car up in Germany I was able to see it go around Europe before it stopped off in the UK to pick up some non-CMs before it left. Once it left the UK I didn't see it until it was off the coast of Canada. It also spent a lot of the trip between Nova Scotia and New York 'off the radar'.

Fortunately, it gets there regardless. The tracking just adds to the worry!

 

I just got confirmation that Molly has been fished out of the drink and is on the California Highway. Sort of appropriate since I learned to drive in California. I know that is a little scary, add to that I was taught by a race car driver and a truck driver.

 

Yay!! Looks like we are all sailin' now.
