Heard that as well. I hope that is correct

Looks like my car was released @ noon cali time. MA says it could take up to a week to see the car here though.

Still waiting, but the POrgy has pulled into port, and will soon unload all those beautiful new MINIS.

Sorry to be dense, but where did you get this info? Is it from WW? My baby arrived on a K-Line ship (boo!) Florida Highway on Wednesday, 05/04, and I have no info whatsoever... OL and ASK-MINI automated dude still say "en route", and my MA has not responded at all either. Wish I had a clue, since I need to arrange financing and hand over my Mazda to Auction Direct this weekend.

Correction- ASK MINI automation has now reverted back to "at the port awaiting a shipping vessel"!! I spoke with a "real" person, who said it was now in final assembly and will be shipped out in a few days... Umm, WHAT?? No answer/ reply from MA yesterday or today. Seriously frustrated and confused.

Very exciting!! Congrats!!
Pics, please.
Waiting on my Clubman that was also on the Madame Butterfly!
Eno, I assume you're somewhere in California then?
I'm in Portland, Oregon, and so am trying to figure out when the transport truck will get up here.
Cheers!

The dealership I ordered from is in Albuquerque, NM. Its a fast drive from LA to ABQ on I-15 and I-40 so things tend to get here fast.

They had 13 cars on the Madame Butterfly. 7 of them came in on Sat and the remainder came in today.

Yaaayyy!! Mine is at the dealership too- went by and saw her last night. No one has called me yet to schedule delivery- I'm not-so-patiently waiting to see how long it will take.

Picking mine up tonight. I went and did the paperwork at Northwest MINI in Tacoma yesterday but it didn't show up when I was there. I will post pics tomorrow.

Matt, yours might be there. When I was signing paperwork my MA went out to car carrier that showed up. Mine wasn't on it but the driver said he had BMWs and MINIs mixed on the load and made drops at dealers up the coast. There were supposed to be 2-4 more trailers behind him.

Here are a few pictures of my Clubman. I picked it up last Tuesday and my first mod was a Craven Speed Stubby antennae. Ceramic tint and clear bra on the 17th.
