Hi guys,

Talked to a live person, for sure she is on the dock waiting for a ride!!!
I really hope I can have her before July 4!!!

 

Nothing shows up on WW yet!!

 

Following the direction on the thread "Mini Tracking" here's what I found out about my MC.

After inputting my VIN# at (Auto Cargo):
http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do

It gave me:

Booking #
Vessel - Patriot
Voyage: EB622-PAT
Port of Origin: Southampton
Port of Destination: New York

I then clicked on the link "Voyage: EB622-PAT" and went to a chart showing ship's schedule etc.

This listed the Patriot as being loaded and departing (Southampton) on 2 June with an arrival date in NY of 11 June.

Hmmmmmm . . . is this obsessive or what?

Happy sailing!!

 

Oh lucky lucky Gomphus. Nothing showing up yet for we west coast folks. Guess we're not gonna make the Monday ship

 

This from the Mini Tracking thread:

good summary! I would like to point out that sometimes the ww site will think that your mini is going to travel with them when in fact it is not. This happened to me and several others in my production week. The ww site listed that we were booked but not loaded on 3 ships in a row. We came to find out that our minis were actually halfway across the ocean on a different carrier! We spent some disappointing time thinking our minis had missed yet another boat when in fact they were on their ways! Once it leaves the port your MA will be able to tell you a specific arrival date."

 

miniprof -mayabe our mini are actually sitting next to Gomphus's mini, so still hope right!!!
Gomphus - Lucky you!!! Get ready to motor!!!!

 

Still sitting on the dock waiting for a ship!!!
anyone has a better luck??

 

USA - I called a live person and she said that Penelope left on a ship today, even though nothing shows up in the WW tracking and MINI online still stays she's waiting for a boat. You should call a live person and see what they say. Maybe we really are on a boat!!

 

I just called a live person, mine is still sitting on the dock waiting for transport vessel. And he suggests me to call my dealer because from this
point on, they will have more info. than miniusa.

 

Well, I just talked to a different live person who says my MINI is at the dock. I don't know what's going on. Maybe our MINI's are just hangin' on the dock watching the world go by, USA.

 

miniprof,
hahaha...I hope our mini wont have a plan on going to germany to watch world cup!!!

 

Congrats to all you Week 21 folks! I'm in week 24 and can't wait...if you've picked up your MINI, take a second to stop by and answer this post about how long it took to get your MINI...

Thanks!

 

Hey guys - now the recorded voice says Penelope is "in transit"! USA, maybe your little fellow caught a ride as well! Check AskMINI again!

 

Hey Miniprof,
Mine is " in transit" too!!! I think they were actually in transit for a few days already. It just takes time to update the info.
Very likely we can have our mini the last week of June.
What do you think?

 

Well, I think the ship will get to LA around June 28th, then it takes a few days to get through the VDC and to the dealer, so I'm thinking Penelope will arrive the first week or so in July. You may get yours a few days sooner though - mine has to travel to SLC.

 

The Patriot, the yacht that allegedly has my MC/PW on board, is listed as being in NY harbor. This according to:

www.sailwx.info

Anyone else aboard this ship?

 

One other detail . . . I went back to the OL and it's updated with the details of my order as well as indicating "in transit."

 

Hey, I was wondering what had happened to everybody on this thread. Congrats, Gomphus! I bet you'll be driving your baby before you know. Hey, USA and Chumley - there are a bunch of west coasters over in the Week 23 group. I think we're all technically Week 22, but since there's no official thread for that, why don't we all hang out in Week 23?

 

We are really quiet here!!!
Let's make some noise!!
Anyone get cargo info from WW?
I still can't get anything from its site. I try to email my dealer, but
it has been a week, no response :(

 

Hey USA, I spoke to my MA today and he said that my car shipped out on the 3rd. If that's the case for you as well, we may be on the Lyra Leader which is scheduled to reach California on June 26. Let's keep our fingers crossed that my guess is correct!

 

Hey miniprof,
I really need to call my MA, but they usually are not very responsive :(
What kind of warranty will you buy? Like extended warranty, extended maintainence and tire insurance?
I am thinking buying extened warranty and extended maintainence.
What is your take?

 

Well, I'm not buying any of them. Everytime I've bought extended warranties in the past, I've never used them. So I think this time I'll just go with the standard, and hope I'm lucky! I don't tend to put many miles on my cars (my current car has 32000 miles in 4 years) so I hope I'll be ready to trade her in before she ever develops a problem.

 

How about extended maintainence?
In that extended time, what can be done?
an oil change, tune up or any kind of level check?

 

Hmmm, not so sure on that. Does anyone else have more info on the extended maint.?

 

I have 38K on my 4 yr old BMW. During this time, my service light for oil change has come up 3 times, changed wiper blades and air filters. The service you will receive (if same rule applies to the Minis) is dependent on what comes up on the service indicator. Best bet figure out how many miles you plan on driving and what the cost for the ex maint is. I do not plan on purchasing an ex maint for my MCS... I hope our ship is safe from the hurricanes in the East. Can't wait. I'll be picking mine up in LA and driving up 101.
