So, the MA tells me 12/22 is the expect date (according to his screenshot from this morning), but the shipping co says 12/26. Gonna be a long 12 days. I'll be at least 5 1/2 months from order to parking it in the garage.

Here is the vessel for anyone who cares:

HOEGH JACKSONVILLE Current position (Vehicles Carrier, IMO 9673379) - VesselFinder

G-52, now that my ship is underway, I went ahead and threw $10 out for the Marine Traffic app as well.

Kind of fun while you’re waiting… You've probably discovered by now that once get away from shore a ways, you’ll need to pay the $.99 per 24 hour period for satellite access👍 I’ve done that once so far.

I did see that, I might click on it a few times if I really get bored. At least the car is making its way across the pond! Thanks for the app tip!

So I paid the dollar to get the 24 hour update and the ship says it is out of range for updates. Hasn't moved at all. Did it sink? LOL. I don't know, so I think I just wasted a dollar.

Hmm, I haven’t seen an icon on the app for a sinking ship😮 I had to hit the payment button a second time before it went through. On the IPad, I then received a digital fingerprint to initiate the payment via Apple Pay. I then got a confirmation banner from the app. 24 hour timer ticks down on the app once you’re in. Btw, I tracked for a bit Asteria Leader, the ship my order initially was assigned (but didn’t board.) Asteria just went through the Panama Canal en route to LA. It travelled the Canal in 20 hours, including 10 hour wait to enter.👍

G-52, it finally moved but that ate up almost 18 of the 24 hours I paid for. I also tracked your vessel just to make sure the app was working. I pitched in for round 2 of updates last night. It seems to move but slowly. Maybe I’m just too anxious!

My JCW is estimated to arrive at port on 12/25. Wonder how long it will take to get from the ship in Baltimore MD to Gaithersburg MD (Mini of Montgomery)? Guess we'll find out. Might still have a chance of seeing it before the end of the year!

Mine is scheduled to arrive Port Hueneme on 12/26. My dealership is like 2-hour drive away from the port so I might get it next week. We'll see.
Anyone is taking advantage of the "Perks run in the family" loyalty incentive? I asked my dealer about it but not a peep from them.

Never heard of that loyalty incentive. I’ll take any incentive they want to hand out!

I think my boat will arrive in Baltimore MD tomorrow. Not sure how many days from there but we’re getting close to the finish line.

Congrats! I stopped by the Dublin Oh dealership today while on vacation; they had a JCW 2 dr hardtop in your color combo in the show room. Car looked sharp through the window, dealership was closed. 👍

Mine is on Rail heading from Halifax to Toronto. My MINI Centre will have it Jan 3rd or 4th! Tint, winter wheels/tires, PDI will take a couple of days, so I expect to get the fobs by Saturday Jan 8!
😊

That’s great news! Looking forward to seeing pictures!

My MA says he thinks mine will be at the dealership by Wednesday this week 12/29/21, although it’s not due there until 1/2/22.

just got an email from the Sales Manager saying that my MINI has arrived! Obviously there was a status update delay on their end during the holidays .
Looks like I'll be picking it up sooner!

Man, that's awesome! I see mine is listed on the dealership website as a new arrival. Guess it's time to contact the MA again and see what's up, as the status is still listed as AT THE PORT.

Looks like you'll have a Happy New Year! Post some pictures when you get a chance!

Got a call from my MA, my car was at the dealership and ready to be picked up this afternoon. I wiped my other car off, and headed down right away. Dealer was really nice and worked pretty decent with me in my trade. Car is now home and in the garage.
