Hey Rubino
If I recall, we ordered the same day. Looks like yours made the boat and mine didnt! With all the options you got, I figured you would have a build time of 2 weeks! Quite amazing what a couple of days make when trying to catch a boat...

Yeah, I think the margins are higher on the options, and they wanted to get all the cash in the 2nd quarter.

Man you are lucky. Must have had the right options & color. I ordered on the 16th and just got a hit for a booking aboard the INTEGRITY. I'll be arriving into port a few days behind you guys.

Missed your boat. My MINI tells me Wk 28ers are not as cool as his crowd who left him sitting on the dock. I bet a few of them are on his boat.

Bringin' up the rear.

Doesnt look like it will make it on time. THe updated status on WW page is that it will land in NY on the 16th, but NJ DOCS say it will and on the 17.

I'm on the Courage also

I've been tracking the Courage since it left port and have noticed the updated status to the 16th and the port update of the 17th. This wait is starting to get to me. I'm hoping there is some way I will be able to get the car next week but its looking more and more like the week of the 22nd for delivery. I've been good about not contacting my MA but might have to follow up on Monday to check for an updated delivery status.

I've been noticing some of the wave heights on the journy seems like some pretty rough seas without a storm in sight.

Fingers crossed all our cars are going to arrive safely.

You can try and watch this website for arrival, but I don't know how often it is updated. It doesn't show any ships arriving today, but I find that hard to believe.

Still needs to get to Baltimore and Charleston before mine gets offloaded!

In NY!

The WW website shows the Courage arrived yesterday and and is supposed to leave for Baltimore today. Those folks with cars disembarking in NY should be seeing delivery soon!

Charleston arrival scheduled for the 22nd.

I'm on the Courage also getting off in NY/NJ. When i look at the status on the ww site i see the ship has left NY and on its way to Baltimore although the status doesnt show Discharged. I know i will feel more comfortable when I see that status updated. I've been waiting a long time ordered on 6/1.

I looked up the other VINs going to NY/NJ and they are still all showing Loaded on Vessel so I feel a little more comfortable that they just havent updated the computer yet.

Did anyone else notice that?

You seem to be getting all the brakes. They seem to have you on an expedited schedule. The OL still says enroute for me. Congratulations on your Friday Delivery it looks like it will be at least next week for me from the way things are looking. My status on the WW site still shows as Loaded on Vessel also.

It is getting close to 2 months from time of order.

Thats great 22 days I wish I could say the same. I haven't even heard when mine will be at the dealership. They say they don't know when it will get there. I ordered mine from Sterling BMW and MINI.

I'm trying my best not to think about it but it's not working. Please post some picks when you pick up on Saturday.

MINI in route now to the dealer should arrive today sometime. They won't be able to have it ready until Monday or Tuesday because they are backed up with prep work. I guess I can wait a few more days. :impatient
