You Tell 'em Girl..damn! ; )

 

Well looks like I'm booked on the Freedom with 175 other anxious expectant MINI owners. Should depart Southhampton on the 23rd.

Jerry, Looks like I'll be motoring around Orlando with you in mid-October.

05 DS/B MCSC - Booked On The Freedom

 

Hey Drew! I can't believe your mini is on the east coast right now! Lucky boy . Anyways, I wanted to wish you and everyone else on this board, SHANA TOVA (happy new year). May this be a year full of happiness, laughter and MINIS!!

Shana tova ve-metuka lekulam,
N.

 

I just checked the WW site and my MCS is at the terminal and waiting for transport on the Freedom, too. Looks like I am on schedule for mid-October delivery. :smile:

 

and a happy and healthy new year to you to noa - see you on the road ; )

HAHA I thought I was alone in this, i am finishing my BA at 29 and have a business and work really hard for everything I have, but today at school I was talking to my MA on break and when I told the guys I was standing with my MINI is coming they just looked at me like i was the biggest A*& hole that had ever dared get near them. LOL it was funny and frustrating at the same time, oh well, back to my homework.

 

Like a few others here I, too, have been moved to from Carmen to the Trinidad. It looks like nearly all of the 127-Carmen cars have been wait-listed for the Trinidad. I guess we'll just have to wait 'n see if we all make it on board!

 

I do believe the VPC in New York is very near the docks. What I don't know is if they are trucked or driven there.

I found out my mini is coming on the Resolve. Any one else booked on the Resolve to arrive in NY on sept 17?

 

Ozbone- hey! Glad to hear there's another person here who understands me. I work full time and go to school full time, and even though its not the normal college experience, I think I can appreciate things more. Hey, at least I will be graduating with no loans, and have paid for my education by myself

 

All 96 VINS on the Freedom booking list have the asterisk! what does THIS mean?!?! haha, another puzzler

 

Isnt it nice to know that you've done it yourself? I dont like taking money from the parents, although my brothers have no problems with it. My parents would have paid for my education (not my car ) but I got the necessary scholarships. Now, Im buying this car all on my own. my brothers drive around in a car registered to my parents. they think im crazy for not WANTING to take whats being offered. I see things differently...

edit: those that do depend on their parents, its understandable. just dont shove it in the faces of others!

 

Patrick- good for you! That won you some brownie points

Where can I see if there is an asterisk next to my vin?? I don't see anything on the WW site . My car better be on that darn boat leaving tomorrow !

 

God Bless the Child that Has Her Own!

It's easy to pre-suppose though. When we were in the Dealer spec'ing our MCSC there was a man with a young daughter...I'm bad at this but I'd guess she was 17 or so. They were ordering an MCS. I didn't give it much thought till it became apparent they were ordering it for her.

Who am I to judge...but buying a child a new car just seems like a sure path to creating a malformed adult.

Peter...always amazed at what kids are given in this world...and always humbled by kids who make their own way...in Denver

 

hey nycmini,

i read on the other boards that they're coming out with an automatic Cooper S in Jan (not CVT, plain old automatic). I'm already tempted to trade mine in, and she's not even here yet! :smile:

 

I need to get around more!

 

Wellll ... we are sharing a cruise! AND you will be glad to know that the Trinidad, is now listed as docking tomorrow at 4:30. There are a bunck of MINIs jumpung up and down on the dock in Southhampton. Well they would jump up and down if they did not come from conservative British and German linage.

Anyway The port listing show the ship arriving and departing tomorrow.

 

Well the Trinidad can carry 6050 cars. So assuming they didn't pick up a lot of Volvos or Saab's in Norway we should all fit.

 

:smile: :smile: :smile: I'm getting closer to delivery day! I called my MA today & he said that my MC should be landing on the shores of California tomorrow! :smile: :smile: :smile: For anyone on the West Coast who is trying to track their "en route" Cooper, mine left England on 8/23/04. Can't wait to take her for a spin!

 

Hello everyone, I am new to this site, I placed my MCS on order back in August with a schedule of week 38. To my surprise it went into production last week. :smile: I see everyone talking about WW and Ask Mini how can I get to those sites and check for a more detailed status. Thanks for any info anyone can provide. I look forward to staying connected with other mini owners.:smile:

 

Go onto WW and enter your car's VIN, then take the booking number from the information that you get. now track by BOOKING instead of AUTO and enter that booking number. now, you will have a lost of ALL cars going on to your boat.

Patrick

 

I gathered most of this info from the posts on the boards, so I take absolutely no credit for any of this.

1) Get your Production Number from your Mini Advisor (ie. 7487xxx)
2) Set up a username and login into MiniUSA's Owners Lounge (OL) at https://ol.miniusa.com/oemainlogin.asp and jot down your mini's VIN number under "Review Order Detail"
3) Call 866-ASK-MINI (866-275-6464) to get an update on your car's production. Always speak to a live person by saying, "Customer Service".
4) If your baby is built, go to the Wallenius Wilhelmsen site at http://213.31.205.37/GLWebApps.AppTracking. Click on Track Cargo By "Auto". Enter your VIN. Take down the Vessel Name. (ie. Patriot, Liberty)
5) If the vessel has departed, go to
http://cgmix.uscg.mil/PSIX/PSIX2/VesselSearch.asp to find the vessel's call sign using the vessel's name.
6) Goto to http://www.oceanweather.com/data/index.html and click on the area of the map where your vessel should be, then click on "marine observations." Look for your vessel's call sign. Or go to http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/ and enter the vessel call sign. I like this one better, it shows you the vessel name on the map.

hmmm, that is strange. I'm booked on the Freedom and there is 189 other MINI's that I can see. I can't even see an asterisk though, I must be doing something wrong .

I hope I don't get bumped but if so, I guess I'll have to wait a little bit longer.

 

I'm booked on the Resolve, along with only 19 other Minis. Strange.

 

no asterisk is good. Im not on the freedom anyhow, im on the Trinidad (sounds exotic, no?!). All of the VINs on the trinidad booking show asterisks next to their VINs.
