Does anyone know if my MINI will be unloaded in NY or Baltimore? The ship is stopping at both places.

 

Most likely it will be unloaded in NY since the VDC is in New Jersey for the east coast. Those of you that are interested, here is a link to a tour of the VDC at Port Hueneme in SoCal.

My pure silver mini was completed on October 11th. It is still "awaiting transport" I called ask mini..they said the same thing. It's on the dock. Is anyone else on week 41 waiting for a ship towards Miami?? The ask mini rep said it could be at sea for up to 2 weeks. Anyone else getting answers like that? Where does everyone get the color logos on their posts?

Welcome the the "Awaiting Transport Group"

 

Our Cabrio is at sea on the Freedom and should be at Charleston S.C. by Oct. 28. Hope she can find a fast truck to Oklahoma. Sure would be nice to spend the first weekend in November putting some miles on her.

 

My MiNI was completed on the 11th, an arrive at the dock on the 13th.

That would sooooooooooooo nice.

 

Well congrats minimae and PKAT. Most of us have been on the docks for over a week. The next WW ship doesn't leave until the 22. Hopefully some of us will make that one. Once that happens, I can stop checking on Little Brother for 24 days and actually get something done around the house.

I'm just having to much fun figuring out NAM.

 

Hi everyone I too had my MINI in production week 41. I believe it was completed sometime October 16th. When I checked on it my status didn't change until the 18th but when I checked the shipping website it was on the dock on the 16th. Either way it was packed up and set asail on the 18th! I so can't wait.

Anyway I ordered:
Hyper Blue
Sliver Roof
Silver bonnet stripes
Piano black interior
Panther black leather seats
Premium

It is difficult knowning that it was complete on the 11th, on the dock 13th &
not knowing if she is in limbo or in route.

Almost like having the wife in the delivery room and all you can do is wait.

 

Just found out that Little Brother has set sail. Its about time. Don't know which ship just yet, but it should be here around the 14th of November. It should either be on the WW line ship "AIDA" or on the NYK line ship "AQUARIUS". Let me know if any of you find out which ship you are on.
Here is a map of the harbor: http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/files/pos.pdf
This is the schedule for the harbor: http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/com/smovements.htm click on Ship Along Side or Vessel Sailed.

I can finally stop checking the OL for a while.

Hey Allen, great sounds. One question though. How do you get a set of drums in the back of a MINI?

 

Well. it looks like Freedom has docked 1 day early, as my car is showing a discharged status. At least I hope it docked ........

And, my dealer told me it would probably arrive at the dealership 1 or 2 days after docking-the car that docked on the 16th WAS there on the 18th. That's amazing to me.....

so maybe Tuesday!.......

 

Congrats!!

FYI - I set up a chat room for MINI order tracking over at MotoringFun.com. Should be fun chatting with other MINIacs waiting for their MINIs to be delivered!

I'm on the Aida, which was supposed to have shipped out yesterday. Arrival in NY is scheduled for the 30th!

 

YES! Got the phone call today. My car is at the dealership. Now, I have to wait till Friday to pick it up:( Takes about 2 days to process the title here in Massachusetts (friggin state). I have work really late on Thursday, so Friday is the earliest I can get there. Don't worry, i'll be posting the pics at the dealership and from motoring this weekend

 

According to the MA, my Cooper is on the "Dong Sang", registery is GAOSU.
This is China ship. But I cannot locate the ship. Tried several things but I have not been able to find anything. Oh, due in around the 3rd of Nov.

Quote:

Any one have any ideas?

Being able to track your Cooper is fantistic. The down side is that it becomes an addiction.

We have already started planning trips in her.

April 2007 - Baton Rouge

May 2007 - Florida to Michigan. Of course I will have to take short cuts through Alabama, the Smokies, old stomping grounds in north Ga.

Oct. 2007 - Tenn.

Worse than the waiting room at the hospital.

 

WOW!!!! Thats great that some of you are starting to get your cars this week... mine is still sitting at the port waiting for a ship.. at least thats what my OL status and ASK MINI tells me... DOH!!

Allen

 

Hi! Congrats on the call!

I see you're in the Week 40 thread-do you know what ship you came over on? My ship (Freedom) docked Saturday, one day early, but the cart is not at the dealer yet....

 

My mini just moved to the enroute on miniusa owners lounge. It was built October 12th...The vin number does not show up on the wallenus site. I can't figure how to trace it on the Kline website (they don't have a place to put in Vin number). These methods of tracing are very frustrating. Does anyone else have this same problem? Do any week 41 group have their mini's yet??
june

 

Mine docks in NY on the 27th. Any idea how long I'll have to wait for the car to get to the dealer in VA once it docks?

 

Ours has been in route now for 3 or 4 days, due in about the 3rd State side.
MA said that the ship's name is Dong Sang, china register. However, I can not locate it or one by that name. Yes it is frustrating:impatient .

 

Just went on the OL and my status finally switched to En Route... Still no tracking information though... I'm getting antsy

Allen

 

It's here! Picked up tonight! Four weeks to the day since I ordered, pretty good time.

I will be driving around most of the weekend, I'll do some pics early next week.

 

Congrats Lanny. I won't get mine for another 3-4 weeks. The benefit to living on the west coast. I can't even find out what ship I'm on. My MA is out of town. This is giving me took much time to read the threads and figure out what else I need to buy and put on the car.
Congrats again. I look forward to seeing pics.

 

I found your ship Dong Fang - call letters GAO-SU
go to http://www.kline.com/KAMCarCarrier/ScheduleAtlanticShuttle.asp
I can't figure out how you knew it was on that boat because I can't track my vin number and I think we should be on the same boat since mine is also going to Fort Lauderdale Mini... Mine is still listed as en route but it took 12 days to get if from the doc onto a boat. It was built on October 12th.
email me if you have news.
