Great job Christian. creseida's MINI was also discharged from the Patriot today. I guess I just realized that those are the only 3 that have been actually received at a VPC so far. Well, we're makin' progress, slowly but surely.

Hey Christian,

Cool mods on the spreadsheet. Was thinking a sortable table would be cool...cross-tabs and all that.

What's Key for the new columns though? I got most of them...I think.

Good job!

EDIT: Christian, this is VERY cool. I just figured out that you can get the heading by pausing your cursor on the column heading. You're too advanced for me!

They should come up when you hover over the headers. If not, I'll add a legend to the bottom describing each one.

Btw, cool PW27SG badges!!

Thanks! Which one do you like better? All together or seperated?

Btw (and you're gonna hate me for htis one) maybe you could/should add a column for NAMES?

Badge Vote?

I'm really glad...and surprised that you are liking the PW27SG badge I put together.

What about a VOTE for the official badge?

Letters all together or with a space?

Thoughts? Votes?

Sorry, I just felt like doing that!

Glad to hear that so many people are on boats and on their way from merry ol' England!

I'm still in the dark - my VIN does nothing for the W&W site and I am becoming convinced I am on a different carrier now that not one, but I believe THREE ships have left bound for Charleston since my Mini got to the docks.

Have an e-mail in to my MA...yes...I'm on vacation and still bugging my MA about the Mini...sad...but if anyone understands, it is my fellow PW27ers . Hopefully I'll know something by end of day (they need a fingers crossed smiley!).

Just dropping in on y'all's thread because I see that my 7/16 build car is on the same ship as one of your folks (Green Racer). Im on the Manon due into NYC 7/27. Ive been really lucky with no delays along the way so far: got my production number same day I ordered, had an initial 7/17 estimated date which moved back one day to 7/16 and then only spent a day awaiting a boat. I hope this trend continues!

Love the spreadsheet you have for your group---very clever!

Now that's a badge, krenzkes! If you or anyone in the group would like a different size (smaller maybe?) just let me know. I'll post to the group or my gallery.

Hey Doogs!

Have been wondering where you've been and your MINI status. I'll bet you are on some other line as well. Besides WW and NYK there's one other line they use, I think.

You need your MA! Call him/her and get the info! Don't let'em leave you in the dark! I was relieved when I finally knew my MINI was on a ship. HANG IN THERE!

Good idea! I didn't add it as a column. But if you hover over usernames, you shall see our names. Default is set to username.

The Trinidad is suppose to arrive in Halifax today! I don't see it yet in the Halifax vicinity map on aislive.com. Is there a site where we can check the port's vessel schedule? I want to make sure Trinidad's on time!

release to truck from VDC...

Talked to the MA yesterday, and he said that my MINI will probably be released from the VDC to the truck tomorrow, 7/19, and could be at the dealership by Friday. I am SO hoping to pick it up this weekend!!!

For those interested in the timeline, it was unloaded at the NY port on 7/11 but needed an aero kit installed among other things (got lots of accessories), and the dealer is Checkered Flag in Virginia Beach. I'm not sure which things get installed at the VDC vs. the dealership (except aero). Of course, I will not be able to stop myself from posting any further developments.
