But she promised to spit it out when it gets to our shores!

Scheduled to arrive in the US on November 18, according to a MINI customer service guy that e-mailed me earlier today.

haha these "ships" crack me up

 

I just had a really scary thought. If you were a crewmember of a car transport ship full of really sweet cars and the ship was basically on autopilot for 18 days, wouldn't you go down to the cargo holds and play around with them?

With the MINI's size and superb handling, they are probably racing laps around the ship! So when you pick up your brand new MINI and it has a very tiny number displayed on the odometer, you better check the tires for splinters from the ship's deck.

 

I used to export cars to Switzerland...all the *****
and anything removable was sent separately.... :evil:

 

I don't know about you, but if I was shipping cars, they'd be packed in so tight you wouldn't have any room to drive them around... what's the point of leaving a cargo container half empty?

And when I worked for a freight fowarding company, we would ship cars to germany on occasion, and we actually used a cargo container.. lemme tell you, that was NOT fun securing them. Later, the guy who got the account left, and the person who took over realized that we could save the client a bit of cash if we used a drive on/drive off service, and outsource the whole thing...

I wasn't sad...

The last time I checked the tracking site Fidelio left Baltimore a day early and should be in Brunswick a day early. I can't wait. My dealer said that once they dock they are sent to Greer SC for processing then distributed to the respective dealers for their prep work. Hopefully that will happen before Thanksgiving.

 

Where did you get the picture of the Fidelio? I'd like to find one of the Tellus that mine came over on last month.

We are all crazy!

My family is definitely worried about me.

 

Here is your Tellus! Looks more like Clifford the Big Red Dog than my Fidelio the Whale!
