>>It is on the W&W site. Just search by the vessel...

btw, it left on the 29th and is due in NYC on 9/8.


>>This info about the ship waiting out the storm in Germany does not make sense. W&W updates its website often enough to post a delay. Also, if the ship was scheduled to make a stop back in Germany after England, why would it not be on the manifest?

Whoever made these two comments was right on target! What a bright guy!

Oh wait, that was me!

Hope you all have been tortured enough. No more guessing. No more secretive inside sources. Only another week or so until you're all motoring. So get your checkbooks ready, your garages cleaned up, and your old cars ready to sell!

Well, the dealer called me today and said that he verified my car was unloaded Monday and should be in by mid next week. So the Owners Lounge estimate of 9/15 will be really close. Suprise, surprise, surprise!

I will post pictures, of course!

Great news kevruss! I'm so glad to be proven wrong on my "information." But hey, at least I was wrong in the right direction! Now I'm gonna be checking my answering machine every ten minutes while I'm at work. Ugh! Tick tock, tick tock, why won't the damn hands move faster!!!

Plan on one week to clear the center, get to Philly, and then get prepped. Who is your MA? Did you go to Mini of the Main Line or Otto's?

My MINI's on the same ship and the Owners Lounge still says is on it's way. Where do you get the estimates on when it will be at the dealer?

Hmmm...mine was on the same boat and will ARRIVE in St. Louis on Tuesday. I'll be (hopefully) picking it up on Thursday. I guess the KC driver sped or didn't sleep.

Mine was also on the Tokyo Highway. Called Memphis today and was told, "maybe next week". Said they didn't know for sure but they'd call me when they did know.

My dealer called and said he thought it was coming in today...but...it didn't show. He said he had like 25 coming in so there would be more than one truck. Apparently mine wasn't on the truck that showed up. He told me Thursday or Friday I could pick it up (assuming the truck shows up tomorrow). The Owners Lounge changed during the day today. It said 9/15 this morning then when I came home it showed 9/16 and still at the DC! Bottom line, I DON'T KNOW...and it's driving me crazy!!!

My MA said that mine was released to carrier yesterday. I am assuming that this is a good sign. I am hoping to get it this week.

My Chili Red MCS w/ white roof & wht stripes is at the dealer. The dealer just added the white tailights, chrome mirrors and aero bumper to the front (this took a while, had to be sent out to be painted) they are installing the clear 3M tape to the front bumper and I should have it by Friday.

I Can't wait, I plan on doing a lot of driving this weekend.

Congratulations to all of you Tokyo Highwayers. Take it easy, and enjoy the driving... Let us know how it is going.

I have over 1400 miles in two weeks and am loving it. Today I let my wife drive the car to work; she called all excited..."I could really get used to this!" Uh-oh...

I can't believe it...the owners lounge just changed within the last hour to "at your mini dealer"!!! It appears to be only about 1 day behind the information...so if anyone out there is concerned about it showing the proper information then maybe this will help you a bit. One day behind is not too bad! I am picking mine up tomorrow and it came in late Tuesday to the dealer. No bad at all!!!

Hey, Kevruss...hope you have a great day today! I'll be spending it seeing how fast my windshield wipers can go (autosensors in Isabel).

Stay safe, all...

Wuhoo! Mine just arrived at dealer. Just a few more days for accessory installation and I'll be motoring! FYI, like for kevruss, my experience with Owner's Lounge was that it was only about 1 day behind throughout the process...not too bad.
