Many thanx

Same here, I was scheduled on the Patriot, but I'm guessing I got bumped too. No updates yesterday to indicate that I boarded and today the WW site indicates;"No tracking information is available for the Cargo ID you entered".

Miniusa still indicates awaiting transport.

 

Yeah, I just checked again and still nothing so I don't think it's a system update. Looks like just a nice test of patience at this point.

Dawgfan, I just looked at your spec and the problem probably is that they got confused as to which of our cars was which. Very similar specs.

 

Ordering a MINI IS a test of patience

 

it's like knowing what your big christmas present (or Chanukah if you're so inclined) is in september... and having to wait until you can get it.

 

any news yet on the boheme? I'm still listed as booked. Is anyone tracking the boheme's location though?

 

I think there are some people at the bottom of the week 44 thread who are tracking the Boheme - good luck

 

Is anyone showing loaded on the boheme? I still show that my car is just booked and at the terminal. the WW website has the UK portion of the voyage red (in the past) but per the port information the ship is supposed to be in port until 1800

 

no worries... the boheme is still sitting in port getting all full up with MINIs

 

Well, I can't seem to find the Patriot on AIS anymore, and it isn't being updated on the other dite - so I guess we're all waiting until it comes into the AIS database on the West side of the pond?

 

This morning I plugged my VIN# on the WW (Wallenikus Wilhelmsen) site and received information that my car is booked on the TOSCA (Voyage: EX512-TOS), leaving Southampton on November 16th and Arriving Port Hueneme, California on December 7th. As you may recall I had a finished build date of November 7th. If all goes as scheduled, it is exactly 30 days from end of construction to Port within 30 days to the West Coast.
I'm getting excited again, as I may have my car by the end of this year!

Well the Boheme has set sail but the WW website still just shows my status as 'booked'. I wonder if I missed the boat? Even if I did that's ok as the Liberty will be sailing on thursday and both arrive in NY the same day. frankly I could use a little more time to sell my old car... I'm starting to feel the pressure!

 

Mine didn't show as Loaded until this morning on the Patriot - which sailed yesterday. The time listed was during what appeared to be the proper loading time though.

On a related note, has anyone's OL changed to "En Route" from AWT yet?

 

There is at least a 3-day lag between what is posted on the website and reality. Note that I said at least 3-days, as mine was outdated by approximately 2 weeks at some point.

ok then I'll just try to be patient and hopefully get confirmation that my car was loaded by thursday... or I will start to worry about the thursday boat. either way they get here the 25th or so

 

The Owner's Lounge lists all but one of my options - octagon black cloth seats. I guess I'll have to reorder.

Still at Awaiting Transport.

 

I checked the WW site and Im booked for the same ship. My completion date was 11-4-05. So at least you did not have to wait at the dock as long as I did. This was a surprise none the less because I thought we would be on the NYK line.

Hyper blue, JCW, Checmate, Chrome interior/exterior, arm rest, Ipod, JCW strut brace. My dealer is SFMINI did you purchase there?

 

I still show only 'booked' at this point - hopefully the website will be updated in the morning and we can stop worrying...about being loaded and start worrying about whether it will come in on time, etc.

 

If you search by the booking number you can see all the cars that are booked with yours... out of 200 only 1 was 'loaded' and 1 was held by export or something like that. That makes me feel a little more secure about everything.

 

yeah... im still not loaded on BOHEME. I guess all who have BOHEME listed are "In the same boat" on that issue... sorry, i couldn't resist nyuk nyuk nyuk

 

I searched by booking number and i noticed that some VINS have TL in them, some TJ and others TK... anyone know what that means? also some have a *. What the f does * mean?

 

T stands for the Oxford plant where the MINI are born. The letter or in your case Asterisk thje first digit of the production sequence.

 

the tj or tk or whatever is just the production number. and I have no idea about the *. maybe some exception or maybe there are a certain number of each booking that are pulled to inspect and that is one of them. what I find interesting is that there are a few right hand drive models on the ship.... wonder if they're bound for south america?

 

Hyper Skip:
Even though I am in San Francisco, I ordered my car from East Bay Mini in Pleasanton. At the time, East Bay Mini was willing to order a Mini S at sticker price, and quoted me a 9 month wait time from August, 2005. I needed to hold onto my Porsche Cayenne until next year for tax reasons, so I thought no problem and wait. (My license plate will read: SUV2MC). Well, because I ordered the factory JCW package, I was bumped up to week 45. It seems that many were complaining about waiting until Week 44 or Week 45 for their JCW, but it actually worked out to my benefit, given my expectation was for a much longer period.

I will probably have my car serviced at San Francisco Mini, as it looks like a great facility.

As our ship is scheduled to arrive on Dec. 7th, do you think we will have our cars by Friday Dec. 23rd, as I would hate to see it just sit at the Port over the holidays?

I was at a Mini dealership today and noted that they had two 2006 Mini S's with a JCW package. The factory sticker is stamped "PLEASE SEE ADDITIONAL LABEL FOR PORT INSTALLED ACCESSORIES". On an additional sticker it makes reference to a John Cooper Works High Performance Kit - Mini Cooper S, priced at $6,050.00, describing it as "Uprated supercharger machined cylinder head low restriction exhaust improved air filter housing yields 207 hp and 180 lb/ft torque. Power on demand that is sure to satisfy."
I was unaware that the Port was installing these accessories, as I thought the JCW kit was dealer installed. Lastly, it seems to be different than the factory JCW package, as the brakes are not listed, and while there is no mention of the exhaust, I noted that the car did have the JCW tailpipes.
Perhaps it was installed at the dealership, but it was listed as a "Port Installed Accessory."
