my baby has arrived

My Mini arrived at the dealer today! Probably wont ready for pick up until Monday. I'll be on vacation all next week, so I've got to wait a week before I can get to it. :(

How can you tell on the VIN decoder if you have a white roof / mirror caps? When I look up my car that just finished production, the only mention of color is:
Body Color: Deep Blue Metallic (B69)
Nowhere do I see a reference to roof color.

It's here:

S3ABA
Spiegelkappen in Wagenfarbe

(Mirror caps in car color, from my VIN report)

Morning Chant :
Cleared the Locks of the Panama Canal, journeyed south to exit the Gulf of Panama, then made several starboard corrections to travel North.
According to D=RT calculations, making 17 kts, she is currently off the coast of Nicaragua.
She is scheduled to make Port Heuneme on 5/29 @ UTC 1400 hours.
Journey from the Panama Southern Locks to Port Heuneme approx 3500 miles

Phew! Mine has:

S383A Aussenspiegel/Dach in schwarz, which translates to:

S383A Outside mirror / roof in black

The VIN Decoder should also have a picture of the exterior and interior of the car, so you can see visually if everything looks correct!

My order update:
My Owner's Lounge page has caught up to the phone line, now says Awaiting Transport. VIN doesn't yet come up in the shipper's tracking, but the boat is supposed to leave tomorrow.

Also, just to make things exciting/difficult, there's a K-Line ship that just docked at South Hampton, ship's name is Columbia Highway, that from what I can tell also carries Minis over to the US (Baltimore, specifically). K-Line ships don't have the helpful VIN lookup to see if your car is/will be on it or not. Leaves 5/24, arrives in Baltimore June 2nd? Departs on the 3rd.
http://www.kline.com/KAMCarCarrier/S...g_Schedule.pdf top chart - North Atlantic Shuttle Service
Also, can track that boat here: http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...tml?call=3EQO8

I noticed as well that the Independence II listed above now says 5/25 departure from South Hampton on W&Ws website, though arrival is still 6/4 =)

Mine got booked! It will leave Southampton 5/28 and will arrive in Port Huememe 6/20. The vessel is DAEDALUS LEADER. I am glad I don't have to wait for the FEDORA to leave on 6/4.

Funny thing though, when you search the schedules, the FEDORA is the only ship scheduled between today and the end of June for these ports. Makes me think that the schedule look-up feature only pulls up ships that still have availability or space for cargo?

Anyways, glad I did not have to wait 2 weeks for a ship, and only have to wait a few more days before it leaves for the US.

No, did not have to, it finished production late 5/21, released to carrier 5/22 according to ASKMINI and then the tracking website finally had my VIN booked this morning, which is how I found the details of the vessel and such.

Woot! My car arrived on the dock today, is scheduled to leave South Hampton on 5/26 aboard the Titania (looks too much like Titanic), and will arrive in Baltimore on 6/4. I live in Baltimore, so I might just hop the fence and grab my car that evening. :D Seriously though, I wonder how long between arriving in port and the time I can pick it up at the dealership. Its a 20 minute drive between the port of Baltimore and my dealership.
