I'm in Arizona awaiting my all Silk Green Mini. I'm praying that I get it within 2 weeks. I have a weeks vacation planned, and hope I can spend it just motor'n around.

By the way, what's the deal on offloading. Shipping schedule showed that the Trianon was going to be in a day early, then it slipped back to the 9th and is suppose to have moved north yesterday. The WW site doesn't show my VIN # as being off loaded yet. Does yours show anything different? I hope they didn't forget to take mine off the boat!!!!!!!

TminiS,

I did look later on today and saw that it was discharged at 6:45 am on the 8th. How do you know it has cleared the port and moved to the VDC? Is there anyway you know of how to track from VDC via truck to the dealer?

My hands are starting to sweat!

I know! I'm so freaking excited. I called 1-866-ASK-MINI and they told me it had gone to the VDC.

1. Call 1-866-ASK-MINI
2. dial 0 to speak to an operator
3. tell them you want to check on your car and give them your VIN or production #
4. they tell you what's going on with your car.
