Who's your MA? Just curious...
Mine's Matt Lunetta.

 

 

Great signature block. I think I'll get my son to work up one for me. He's the computer wiz in our family.

 

Hi! My mini just came into the port of NJ. I was never able to determine what boat it was on. In my earlier post, I found my VIN# on the Patriot that left England on the 15th. Mini USA swears that mine was on a later boat but couldn't tell me which one only that I left England on the 21st. www.miniusa.com tells me that my mini is now at the distribution center.

Can any tell me how long it takes at the distribution center?

Thanks

 

Just talked to MA!!!!!!!

Mini off the boat in SC today and will be in Texas by later next week!!!!!!!!

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

2-3 days my MA told me. unless theres a problem.

 

El Jefe:

What dealer are you going through? I am also in NY and going through Keeler Mini.

 

My MA is Rob Morris at Princeton. He said he would have some more info early next week. Thanks everyone! I'll keep you updated and hopefully have some pictures next week!

 

YD,

My Car is on the Frisia too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee

 

anyone on the west coast have an update on where our boat is??...what website are you guys using to track it?? what is the name of our boat again?

 

Basil is on the Pegasus Leader, due in to Port Hueneme on 10/10. I think I caught a glimpse of the mighty Pegasus on a live web cam yesterday at the panama canal website. I have found no other way to track a ship on the NYK line.

 

Cool beans Aggie! You should be tearing up the pavement in no time!

 

where the heck is that?

On long island there are two dealers and in NYC i think one dealer. Hassel Mini of Freeport and Haberstad of Huntington.

I went with Hassel mini. I hate yuppies and thought to avoid them in a more regular place like Freeport. -side note Was a good/accurate choice!

Dennis Miniero is the Auto-Pimp-Bot

 

Does anyone know how to track the Frisia? I've entered the name and call number into the sailwx.com site and it comes up empty on both. Let me know if you figure out how to track it.

Those W&W passengers have it easy being able to search out their Mini by VIN number and track the boat across the Atlantic . Being on the K-Line seems like an excersize of I-hope-it's-there :impatient .

It's in Albany. I just heard from my MA and he says my mini is enroute between the port of NJ and Albany. He says he expects the car to arrive this evening or tomorrow morning.

We are, to say the least, excited.

 

Getting closer! Its fun to begin this next phase.... got papers in the mail today from East Bay Mini.... including a signature page to release liability for not installing (no drilling) front license plates!!

PS a second paper disclosing the fact that MINIUSA and the dealership do not provide loaner cars for service visits.

 

Wylie,

I am told by my MA that we probably won't be able to track the K-Line ship, which is basically what we have been told by everyone else so at least we know. But I did find on their website a link to track cargo using the Bill of Landing # KKLUHAM105804. But I don't get any hits but here you go anyway: Kline cargo tracking:
http://206.103.2.35/GctApp/search?id=tracker

Also this link is to the PDF that shows when are ship is due to port: http://www.kline.com/PCC-RoRo/pccprintsched.pdf

 

West coasters using the NYK line are in the same boat (pun intended ).. no way to track on the sea as the shippers don't seem to be reporting weather conditions (purpose of sailwx). We're riding on a wing and a prayer.... lucky for me and several others we're riding the "Pegasus"!

 

Thanks for the info. I finally got a call from my dealership today. They still couldn't tell me what boat my mini is on, but I do know that it is coming in on 10/05...so I'm guessing I'm on the Fresia as well. The website was finally updated today as well...looks like it's a good 5 days behind. Which means I'm pretty much in the dark from now until I pick it up...which the dealership says will be around Oct. 11-12-13...

 

Go Fresia Go, Full Steam ahead.....

I'm sure the Fresia knows about Hurricane Issac. By my crude calcs, it appears the Fresia will need to take evasive action.... I hope that doesn't add a bunch of days to the trip. Just as long as it doesn't sink. Hope Goodberry doesn't get sea sick and doesn't vomit all his oil and antifreeze all over the deck.

YD

 

If anyone is interested in what the Frisia looks like, here is a link to a photo:

 

Thanks for the pic! Go Frisia go! Let's hope it avoids all hurricanes and that our minis get here quickly and safely...without getting sea sick

 

any other cars here get off the undine. And do you know if your car has left port yet?

 

My MA said my MINI may arrive at MINI of Towson (md) by Monday, tomorrow, at the earliest..

I wont actually have her til the dealer installed options get done, which might take a week or so...
But I might have to go over to the dealership and visit.

 

Sally! That's GREAT! Keep us posted! Can't wait to hear what your first drive is like!

Yes, you do have visitation rights. GO SEE MINI!!!!!!!!
