Does anyone know what port Texas MINI's will be going to? I'm assuming Galveston?
I'm in CT - Northeast - I believe it arrives in NJ

PS - its now waiting to get on a carrier - do you know where I can find the schedule of departing ships?

I think we (those completed 2/9-10)end up on the boat leaving the 15th (Turandot) or the 22nd (Glorious Leader).

NO worries Hearthand - I hope we're on the 2/15 - I imagine we may be on the same truck coming up the east coast if that's the case.

Have you purchased anything for yours yet?

Took Delivery on Friday AM drove 350 miles and proposed to my girlfriend by putting the ring in the glove box.

She was really surprised because she was already excited about my new car.

Put 900 miles on it this weekend between NJ, Pittsburgh and CT getting 26 MPG


The Wait is worth it.

Congrats RDEZ! Awesome pre-Valentines day surprise.

Did you by chance pick it up in Monmouth? Did it take from the 2/2 arrival to be ready for 2/10?

Thx ZeeMini,

I chose to pick it up on 2/10 because of work and to make a long weekend of it.
It was in monmouth within a day. I got an email from my MA that it was in the on the morning 02/04. I maybe could have pushed to have it earlier, but the time was a little buffer.

If it goes through vdc quick you could maybe get it by sat. or mon.

All of you who started production 2/2...Looks like we aren't making the boat this week. Talked to someone at Mini this morning and the cars are still being transported to the departure point...Looks like the middle of March or later for us. :(

This morning when I called the automated line, my status changed to "In transit" and that I should contact my MA for further info, previously it was saying something about in transit to point of exit. So I went ahead and talked to the live operator and she said that my CM was beyond the point of exit. Hopefully this means I made a boat, but my VIN is still not found on the WW site...could just mean I finally made it to the point of exit and am just waiting to be loaded...all so vague

Kosmo, when did your car finish production? I think our CM's are fairly close in timeline.
And Hearthand, I really hope this isn't true for MINIme. I'm going crazy over here!
