You guys are lucky. Congrats. My MINI status is currently unknown. OL still shows "en route". I spoke to my MA yesterday afternoon and she did not have any updates on my car. That was even after she spoke to her MINI USA Rep. I am going to call her tomorrow and see if she has any updated information. I am not too worried yet, since my MINI sat on the dock for 2 weeks waiting on a ship, so most likely mine was one of the first ones loaded (and as a result unloaded last).

 

sfgrunge,

Don't worry! My car was listed as 'en route' before I left work this afternoon. A few hours later it is now at the VDC.

 

M1N1N1M - Your car is probly further along than you think. miniusa is about 4-6 days behind to where the car is actually. It may be at your dealer already. Mine was stuck in En Route for the longest time and I was planning on another two weeks but then got a suprise call from my MA one day.

Also, 1866askmini was way off track. On April 21st it said en route then on May 10th is went back to saying waiting at port. It hasn't changed and I already have the car. To me, after the car is made and leaves the factory, the tracking was all screwed up. Best resource is your MA.

 

Just got off the phone with my MA and my MINI has been released to the trucking company and is on its way to the dealers. Yea.... Now all I have to do is wait until the 15th to pick it up. I am flying down to SoCal to pick it up and then driving it back here to SF. That should be loads of fun, and I get through about half of my breakin period.

 

I'm the last one then. I called the trucking company and they don't have my MINI in their system yet. Must still be at the VDC then.

Wish me luck!

"Drive on, my merry men all
I'm a little delayed, but I am not stopped;
I will lay me down for to wait a while,
Then I'll rise and drive with you again."



...all apologies to the poet John Dryden who wrote:

"Fight on, my merry men all
I'm a little wounded, but I am not slain;
I will lay me down for to bleed a while,
Then I'll rise and fight with you again."

 

My MINI has arrived at the dealers. I posted some pics in the week 18 thread. Check'em out.

I'm still waiting.

 

I'm picking up my car tomorrow, around noon. Wish me luck!

 

WOOHOO Minitee Have a fun drive home!

SFGrunge, congrats also Hey that kinda looks like Brecht MINI in Escondido. If so, have a good ride home also!

It is soooo tough to stay under 4500 rpm

Hang in there M1, you are almost there

 

All I can do now is keep hanging in.

Now OL says estimated delivery on 6/6? Maybe tomorrow it will be 6/7, then 6/8, then ...

 

You are correct. That is Brecht MINI. I can't wait... 8 more days....

 

Congrats to you sfgrunge!

 

Chili Pup is at the dealer! Hopefully they already installed the gauges and alarm so I can pick him up tomorrow!

BlindLemonLars, wow, if I remember correctly, it has been a very long wait for you. But your MINI is here now, so Congrats

 

I picked up my MINI yesterday and just got home today. 850 miles already, I'm looking forward to finishing my break-in period.

Its good to be back, and good to have my MINI here. I'll upload and post pictures later.

I agree. Looks just as you say... sharp & sophisticated.

 

Picked up Chili Pup yesterday afternoon. Check out my gallery for some first picks. Also I have some in Week 18 thread.
