I just found out I was booted off (eerr..never made it on..) the TURANDOT. I'm hoping to find others out there that might be booked on FALSTAFF. I can't seem to find anyone in any of the production weeks thats on this ship. Hmmm...maybe its not a ship and maybe its a speed boat that has just my MINI on it!! That would be nice!

 

Just found out Im booked on the Falstaff as of this morning. Finished production this 5/2, on the docks 5/3 and now headed to San Diego via Port Hueneme

 

I'm on the Falstaff too!!! (Finally - it was starting to feel like being picked last for basketball.....my poor mini on the dock, watching all the other Week 17'ers sail away....

 

I just got booked on the Falstaff as well!

Anyone know when this thing is going to set sail?

 

nevermind, found it.

I think I need to head down to Tacoma to welcome my baby to the great NW!

 

YEAAH! WELCOME ABOARD EVERYONE! My MINI was getting lonely sitting on that dock all alone. Glad to see fellow MINIs finally getting on board!

Departs 5/9..should arrive 5/28

 

I too am on the Falstaff. All our west coast cars had to sit on that dock a long time. They are all friends now and hopefully enjoyed a few Guinness pints before boarding the ship.
CAMini, did you buy from Brecht? I did so maybe we'll meet when we pick up our cars.

 

btw- how did i get so lucky to have ordered before most and born later than most?

Booyun - you have a sick looking MINI. I almost went Lb/B but changed my mind last minute. Now I see those around and want it!

 

Yeah...it is pretty interesting to see how I ordered mine 3 days after you, began production 2 days prior and finished 6 days earlier... Hmmm... I hope they didn't just half-*** build my MINI..hahaha! That would suck having the MINI fall apart on my drive home from the dealership.

Thanks for the compliments on the car. I'll be sure to post up some pics when I get it.

 

ahh mine has finished production yesterday, but WW hasn't shown up yet. I really hope i'll be able to sneak in for tomorrows departure. Wait for me guys!

 

CWick, I read somewhere that your MINI (and all autos for that matter) have to be at the port 3 days prior to departure. I know FALSTAFF heads out tomorrow (5/9) so I'm not sure if you made the list. But who knows, you car is small and maybe it will be able to sneak in! But just thought I'd give you the heads up so that you don't get OVERLY optimistic...

oh..and I also missed the previous WEST COAST boat (TURANDOT) that left about 2 weeks ago so I've been waiting and waiting and waiting

 

ok..i might be a little paranoid here...but to everyone who is booked on FALSTAFF: when you check the WW site, for your status, it just says ' RECEIVED AT TERMINAL' and 'BOOKED' right?? Nothing further at this point? I just want to make sure my status is the same as everyone elses since this is the exact same status I got when it told me I was booked on the TURANDOT (about 9 days ago)..only to find out that the TURANDOT was out at sea and my car was still listed as 'RECEIVED AT TERMINAL' and 'BOOKED' and updated to be on the FALSTAFF...

anyways..sorry if my question confused anyone...

 

Mine says the same.

Easy tiger... breath in, breath out...

 

Mine is the same as well.

K3rM1t - yup, I had a great experience dealing with Brecht MINI and thats where I'll be picking up, good to know there's somebody aiming thier good karma in the same direction

 

don't fret, booyun....... the falstaff will take care of ya.

 

thanks booyun, i gotta keep my head on straight for this test of strength and will power. mini cooper? what mini cooper, i didn't order no mini cooper that i have to wait for...

 

I just checked the WW site and it looks like I'm on the Falstaff as well :D but I'm not going to get too excited yet... production was finished yesterday and I don't want my hopes dashed XD good to see my mini will have good company if s/he makes it though

 

WW just said I'm on Falstaff! I guess my mini is a sneaky stealthy one. It seems too good to be true. I'll wait until tomorrow to see if its for real.

 

I AM JUMPING UP AND DOWN WITH JOY AS MY NEW STATUS IS.....

'LOADED ON VESSEL' (WW Website)

YEEEAAH! I'm OFFICIALLY ON!

Dang, if I'm this excited about just getting ONTO the boat, i'll probably wet my pants when I actually take delivery!

 

hehe, nice. I'm still recieved at terminal.

 

Hope I'll be on the ship also. I'm heading for San Jose CA. WW status shows booked and received at terminal for the Falstaff as of this morning. Seems to be cutting it pretty close though if she sails today. Keeping fingers crossed.

Nice: LOADED ON VESSEL , Booyun made me a little nervous with that post yesterday. Hope all others are on as well

 

I'm still "RECEIVED AT TERMINAL", but I'm sure that it's just not updated yet. I won't start freaking out until Sunday night.

 

I've moved to LOADED ON VESSEL and I notice that the boat has left the dock!

Also, it looks like there are 588 vehicles on that boat. Wow!
