Mine's at the VDC as of today! Woo Hoo! 
It seems like my ship got back on track after departing Baltimore, so I think we're sticking with my original pick-up date of the 9th. That's less than a week! I'm trying to resist the urge to count down the minutes and hours until I can motor away, but I think all of us are in frenzy mode now!

Is it just one more day still?!?!?! I can't find info on the boat tracking site!
I am pretty much relying on RoyalJCW to keep me updated
I hope the VDC to Dealer transportation goes by quick....I NEED to hug my car!

Hey, a Week 36er here. Got my MINI on the 16th of October. I had to relive some of the excitment by visiting you all. You will not be disappointed. Your Babies will all be home and snug in thier beds for Christmas.

What part of Denver do you live in? I'm over in Edgewater. Maybe we can get together sometime. They treat you right, from my experience, over at Ralph Schomps. Vince Quick was our MA and he is great. Don't expect lot of gifts other than a full tank and possibly some floor matts.
Don't loose to much sleep y'all, your big day is coming.

.I'm currently living near Lowry (the old Air Force base), but that's only for a few more months. Not too sure I'll be living in February as my gf and I have a lease that is expiring then and (sadly) our relationship may be expiring then as well. But I'm pretty sure I'll be in Denver for the foreseeable future. We should motor together some time. Do you ever ride with 5280? I was thinking of going to one of their group rides.

So I just checked again and the TOMBARRA doesn't even show up anymore... so I assume it is docked at Port now and not anchored at sea as reported earlier. So hopefully our babies are being unloaded 
Edit: Its not at port quiet yet. It's still anchored waiting to be docked.

Holy CRAP!!!! I just got a call from my MA and he asked if I had the day off tomorrow. Why? I ask... Reply: We'll have your car all shined up and ready for you tomorrow. Me: WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Now THAT'S FAST. The boat just landed in Charleston on the 3rd and my car is in Jacksonville and ready by the 6th. That's gotta be record time. Unfortunately, there's no way I can make it there until Friday, so my poor MINI has to sit there for days just missing me.
I'm absolutely giddy now! come on friday!

I hope that you have better luck than the rest of us in week 44. The Don Juan docked and unloaded on the 28th and none of us have seen any updates in the OL. Additionally, my MA can't give me any information. Waiting stinks.

That's weird. My MA said that cars that arrived on the 28th (Assuming it's the same boat) have already been scheduled through the trucking service. Interesting. Sorry to hear about your delay... either you are already on a truck and your MA is too lazy to track it or there is still a back up at the port and my MA got bad info. I hope for the sake of both of us that it's the first.

The Tombarra is now departing, so we are all unloaded. The WW site shows departure, but hasn't updated to show my car unloaded yet. You got to love that system delay Now we get to see how backed up the VDC is I read on another post that all owner spec'ed cars have priority over dealer spec'ed cars. This includes MINI's and BMW's So hopefully this will speed us up a bit as it seems a lot of the last production Mini's are dealer spec'ed because of the bonus allotments and the demand switching to the R56.

The Tombarra shows departed but my vin comes up as not unloaded yet
