Husband & I are eagerly awaiting his Countryman.... we too need four doors. For us, though, it's not to haul kids but elderly parents! I don't believe we're the demographic MINI has in mind.... most of the people we saw Countryman shopping were folks with young kids.

 

We are not the usual demographic either, we are grandparents, raising our grandson, who is 9 already; and we also have a very large boxer dog. Our boy is really eager to have his "own door and window" that opens!

 

We are downsizing from a Toyota Sienna. Oldest son left for college and now I have two teens and do not want to be a mini van mom anymore. Though to be honest if I could keep the Sienna as well I would as it's size can be awesome for road trips.

I don't think I fit the demographic either!

 

Wow - a mini van to a MINI! Good move. Hope your new baby car comes soon. I am really eager to get mine. My husband has a MINI, his second one, British Racing Green with white roof, Mine is Space blue with white roof, but since our son (adopted) is now 9, he needs his own door and window that opens. So I will be getting my second-ever MINI. We were holding out for a Countryman rather than get another brand of car. There is nothing like the MINI quality.

 

Well, neither my MA or the WW website show any indication of my CM being on board as Madame Butterfly majestically departs Bremerhaven headed to CA - so it's stand by to see what happens when Toledo comes through around 4/23.
-sigh-
[update 4/9] Lots of BMWs on Madame Butterfly, apparently.

 

I don't have any indication on mine either. I did read on some older posts that it could take several days before showing on the WW website. My MA never even responds to any emails/calls I make.

 

MIne had been on the ship and underway for three days before it showed online. Now it has almost reached Canada, I am so excited. I wonder how long it'll take after it lands?

 

Doing some wildcard searching on WW this evening and it doesn't look like any Mini's are showing up in the system yet for the Madame Butterfly. Still gives us waiting hope. Did a cargo search on WMWZ% and nothing showing up yet for Madame Butterfly.

 

Hi
My Pure Red is on the Faust and due into NJ on Wednesday. What is the usual time frame from port to dealer to Me. The car is going to Prestige in Mahwah NJ.
Has anyone added badges to the grille? Any suggestions as to what badge holder to get?
Thanks. Barry

 

Just got word from my MA that my Light Coffe S is on the Madame Butterfly as of April 9th. Said 25-days till Arrival at port in California.

 

My Light Coffee was on a similar production schedule to yours, but no word from my MA. Does your on-board status show up in the Owners Lounge? Does your VIN show up in the 2wglobal track&trace page?

 

Mini site and phone not updated. WW site doesn't show anything yet. Surprised my MA actually had any info.
