I haven't heard a word. My MA said his info should update tomorrow, so I have no idea. It would really be nice if it would come in very soon. I'm needing some good news right about now. Hasn't been a good day today at all. I'm in Pensacola so as soon as I hear something I'll post. Can't wait to see photos of everyones new MINI's that's been on the California Highway with mine.

Handling is awesome. I only drive in sport mode, cause why not? lol. I don't get the point of sport button, why not just make it sporty all the time?


Power, is great! Smoked a Camaro SS the other day on the interstate lol..

Sorry, I meant how long from the time your Mini was born to the time that it made it to the docks. I'm trying to guess which boat I might be on.

My car was born on 9/12 and made it to the shipping port the next day. Born 9/12, at Southhampton 9/13, on a boat 9/17.

My production date was October 5th and it was at the docks on October 6th. I think it must vary though since with others it has taken upwards of 3 days.

Our boat is just off Santa Domingo right now, I'm being optimistic (for once) that it will have passed before our ship gets to that region.
