When you are checking your status in the owners lounge go to "review order details" and it will show "Estimated Delivery Date" between your dealers name and the Model Description

 

Gonna kick this thing again. Is estimated delivery date in reference to when dealer gets car or when I do? OL shows en route... still. Not at VDC not at dealer. MA still says early next week.......Who's gonna get theirs first? :impatient

 

UncleFester I'd bet that your car will come in before mine. Yours reached the VDC Monday in Baltimore. Mine is being off loaded in Charleston tomorrow. My first MINI took 5 days to reach my dealer from the VDC. Your dealer is a whole lot closer to the VDC than mine is. Think positive wouldn't Saturday be great? Call your MA & let them know how you want your MINI programed when you pick it up.

I checked in the OL & mine doesn't show a deliver date? Oh well neither did the last MINI I ordered.

Crashton, how do you know that Malice hit the Baltimore VDC Monday? I'd really like to know.....Actually, though, since I neglected to get rear fog light at order time, I'm having it installed at dealer, you may still get yours before me.....Couldn't stand the thought of an incomplete set of toggles

 

UncleFester, I have my sources.

You are on the Liberty aren't you?

I don't blame you for having to have that final toggle. It woulda bugged me too. Bet you'll still beat me though. It won't take but a half hour or so to pop that little bad boy in there.

Just found this picture of the Liberty. She may be homely, but she does brings people their MINI's.

Crashton, OL still does not show at VDC. My MA stated for whatever reason, that Malice would offload in NJ, not NY. Could be the case that it's the same place, WW just calls it NY when it's actually NJ, who knows? MA was emphatic that Malice would not offload in Baltimore. He stated "It makes no sense to me, either, for it to not offload in Baltimore, but NJ is offloadpoint". Ah well, whatever, I just want my car

 

Thanks guys, it appears that the Falstaff is my new mother! Hopefully it doesn't take long to get from South Carolina all the way to Kansas City! :impatient

 

It would appear the Integrity has been delayed by one day for its NY arrival.

I think the tropical storms forced her to take a round-a-bout northern route to avoid high seas, and the WW itnerary today has changed arrival from Dec 2 to Dec 3. I hope this does not delay processing:impatient

 

OK, now the weirdness continues......This morning Malice was still listed as en route. This afternoon OL shows that he's at the VDC and estimated delivery date was changed from 12/08/2005 to yesterday 11/30/2005........WTFO?

 

My estimated delivery is now 12/08. I really hope that estimate is accurate!

 

And it keeps going.......OL this morning shows Malice at the dealer! No calls re: programming yet......

 

Just got call from MA. Car is to be picked up tomorrow morning at 9 am!!!!! Had to get some programming changed.....never was asked for my preferences...fog light was added, toggles are now full. Will prob drive to dealer to get a look at it on the lot.....dirty or not. MA is leaving work early, he's been good all along, so I'll wait for him tomorrow morning to take delivery.

 

Great news UncleFester!!! Seems as though you will beat me. Make sure they get your car programed the way you'd like. MINI2 has a list of them in their FAQ section.

I think the folks in the OL must read this board & are messing with our heads.

My car shows as enroute, but I know it was off loaded yesterday in Charleston. Just for giggles the OL says the estimated delivery date is 12-8. Next Thursday is good for me.

Chuck

 

It's dirty and the wrappers are still on the seats but I DID get a chance to see Malice this evening before I pick up tomorrow at 9. Picture prob stinks...I'm no photographer. My MA was off, he had to go to court, so another MA (never got his name) walked me over to the shop area to have a look. He cranked it up.....love that sound! Prob won't sleep worth a d*mn tonight...

 

Beautiful! Be sure to take more pics!

-Paul!

 

UncleFester that's a nice looking car. Boy do I like the style of that bonnet stripe. Can't wait for the aftermarket to make a white version. Send us some more pictures please.

Chuck

 

Day one and 200 miles later......love this car!

 

And from the other end.....

 

Checking the OL daily has yielded some very positive results. The now have my MINI listed at the VDC (which I knew already from the shipping) BUT they also updated the Estimated Time of Delivery from 12/08 to 12/06. I know have a 2 day headstart on picking it up, hopefully this weekend.

Now back to your regularly scheduled pics of MINI's that have been delivered...

 

Uncle Fester,

What did the dealer charge to install the rear fog light and switch?. My MCS is due into Charleston on the KLines's Franconia on 12-06 and I'm am thinking about have the light added so all my switches will be complete.
Thanks

 

Subnet99 - I believe that I'm also on the Franconia based on the schedule on the KLine's website, but I'm not sure. I have asked my MA, but the best that he could come up with is that it is on a boat . Do you know when the Franconia left Southampton?

 

jmfan001,

I also only know the schedule posted by KLine but not the actual departure from Southampton. I've had no luck tracking it via sailwx http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...tml?call=3FWI7

I do know that the Port of Charleston vessel schedule shows it due in tomorrow.

Tate charged 240, part and labor. Hated to add the cost, but my fault for not getting from factory for 100 bucks. Also, am curious as to whether or not all toggles for rear fog light have an amber l.e.d. when on and the front fogs have a green one......Or is it just me?

 

subnet99,

I read somewhere that the K Line ships don't post weather reports. I believe that's how the WW ships are tracked.

UncleFester,

Not positive about the MINI, but my wifes Audi has a green indicator for front fogs & a yellow one for the rear fog Your MINI sounds right to me.

Chuck.
