I'm sure your experience with your MA was subpar just because she's not at the top of her game, not because she's a woman, right?

Our house builder was a lady and she was the best we'd ever encountered.
Got a designated parking spot in the garage....just need a car.

Called the 1-866 number and got less info than the last time. It was like the person was reading off the Mini Lounge site with the same info. "At the port and should be released for shipment to your dealer soon".
Last time I talked to a real person I was told it was released and the shippers name ETA to dealership was yesterday (3 Jun) but was told it could be delayed. Seems like I'm going backward. Next thing I'll hear, my car is about to be loaded at Southampton for a sea voyage to the USA.
I'll call again tomorrow and see if I can talk to someone else. Heck, maybe my gal at the dealership was more "tuned in" that I thought she was.

For what it's worth, I called the number today and from the automated system I got the 'Your vehicle is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel' message...hmm...
But when I talked to a real person they told me it's due at the dealer on Monday. It does seem like the information gets a bit jumbled when you get to this point...

Do post pictures once you have it.

I'm sure they probably just didn't get the first trip exactly right and they want to try it again to insure it has a pleasant trip across the ocean =)

If she is hitting the buffets on these cruises, she'll look like a Hummer when I get her home.
