Integrity nearing the port in NY. Looks like it will probably land overnight some time and I guess we'll get unloaded in the morning. I'm still crossing my fingers that I'll get to pick up my car some time at the end of the week if all goes well.

 

I'm with you glennaa11, only I still have to wait for them to send it across country, so I will be watching for pictures of yours

 

"Estimated Delivery Date"? I just was looking at the OL progress tracker. When I click on "review order detail" it is blank except for "estimated delivery date 3/23/2006" ?! I assume that means the estimated date it would arrive at the dealer, but that's kind of cool. I wonder if they will have time to install my aux port by the weekend... I had given up even looking at the OL since the info is usually not very up to date.

 

hi

our mini is now state-side !
From the WW tracking site:

DISCHARGEDNEW YORK, NY19/03/2006 08:00


yey.

 

Which boat were you on Undersea? It looks like Intergrity was delayed a bit. According to the WW voyage info it appears that the ship is now a day or so behind schedule, but it says arrival NY 3/20 and departure 3/19 on one line and then arrival 3/20 and departure 3/21 on the next line. Ports further down the line seem to be a day later than they were scheduled. My car has not been discharged yet according to the tracking.

 

Ours will be the hyper blue with silver top and mirrors, black and lapis blue leather interior. We're having a clearbra put on before we take delivery, because stone chips are a problem sometimes. I had one on my G35C and it was a lifesaver.

So, you had to buy near Papadeaux, eh? Gotta' admit, I love their etoufee'. My wife isn't as big a fan as I, but I like to go to the one up here in Alpharetta now and again.

I don't see any positional info from Terrier yet, but I know it has left Southampton. It'll suck if we can't stalk is as it sails, but I guess that's life..

So, are you doing anything to get ready for your MINI? I met with my MA on Saturday (trading in my car, so I got the trade-in value and finalized the $$ I need to have) and he mentioned that I should be able to pick it up in a week or two!!! I am so excited. With the one day delay in the Integrity, I'm thinking that I'll be picking up the MINI on April 1st - April Fools! - how great is that??

So, to celebrate the addition to our family, I just went out and bought some coco mats (Since my new addition is Hyper Blue, I bought the black with blue dots).

And, I'm clearing out the garage to make sure there's a home for my MINI!

 

The Figaro hasn't been updating on Sailwx for a while, but the WW site is now showing a one-day slip in its schedule, with arrival at Port Hueneme now on April 1.

 

'Slayer, thanks for the regular Fig updates. You are a great resource for us west-coasters! The Figaro updated its position on the Sailwx site as of last Thursday, but yeah, it was awhile before that.

 

So how do you guys Know that the Integrity has been set back a day? where do you get this information.

 

If you look at the WW tracking info you can click on the "voyage" number and it shows you the ship's itinerary. It now shows the Integrity in port as of today, leaving tomorrow. It looks like the dates for the other ports are also a day later.

 

YAY! I'm FINALLY off the boat as of 13:01 today. Now the waiting gets really hard. :-)

 

hi glen

i was on the Boheme

i'm on a business trip now and won't get back till the 26th so i'll probably get there *after* my MINI hehehe.

less impatience on waiting that way actually !!

woohoo

 

glennaa11 how do you find all this information before anyone else? I sure am glad to have been sailing with you, because you seem to have the inside track on things

Because I have no life. Now I will be stuck though because from this point there is no way to track when the car gets on a truck or when it gets to the dealer until they call to let me know. I don't believe I have ever memorized the VIN to my car before.

 

You are not going to escort it from the dock to the VPC or from the VPC to your dealer? Jeez. I thought you cared.

 

She's here, eh? (I'm another Integrity passenger).

Wait's been killing me too. Already got new shoes for her - I keep one the bedroom.... wife thinks I'm nutz :impatient.

She knows me all too well though and has called it from the day the Mini was ordered. Will be (have been) reading Mini brochures, manuals and road tests until delivery date. Then I'll be missing in action for a while.... either driving in circles, or sitting in the garage when I can't .

BMW has done it's psychology research. Create an order tracking system to build up buyer anticipation to the point that we'll take anything that rolls on delivery day.

 

Now all I need is my CAR!

 

I have no idea what's going on with my car. My WW page never updated to "Loaded on Ship", even after the Terrier sailed. Now, my WW page says that I'm back on the Integrity, headed down to Charleston. The Owner's Lounge says that I'm "En Route". I hope my car didn't get lost on the docks!

 

I just rechecked the ww page and I am also now on the Integrity and headed down to Charleston....

 

It's here! It's here! I just got the surprising call from my MA that my car is ready! Apparently I was one of the last off the boat which meant I was one of the first to make it through the VPC and onto a truck. They installed my aux port right away and I can pick it up tomorrow morning. A very happy surprise. Yay me!

 

We're on the same boat!!

Fargo stop sending sign calls on the 16th, according to its ship logs, its on its way threw panama .

It took me for ever to figure out what production week I was in!! IM in nine!!!
