there isn't enough things for me to do around the house anymore to keep my mind off of it! too bad there was bad weather on the east coast, that has to be the reason. maybe Mother Nature will make it up to us with beautiful weather throughout December (for those of us in cooler climates!)

AIDA should be in the States tomorrow, and all of our MINIs will become naturalized U.S. citizens!

You are a bad monkey, 2minis. You shouldn't joke with people who are getting so close to delivery.

OK, the AIDA was supposed to be in NY yesterday, and leave for Baltimore sometime today, and still no word on by baby. Has anyone seen confirmation that their car was offloaded yet?

Soopa,
The only way we will know is when they do the weekly update at the Owner's lounge today (If they do it). We are running out of days in November. We might end up back in the "December club" before we see our cars in Chicago and I will pay another 1% extra in sale tax for Indiana.

Actually, minifinn, I'm expecting the WW site to show "offloaded" on their tracking site. That would be standard for cargo tracking. After that, I don't expect to hear anything until my dealer calls.

Only once an hour? I'm impressed with your restraint

I talked to the dealer today, and he had an interesting comment. He said that the order your car comes off of the boat has as lot to do with how long your MINI spends at the VDC. The first cars of each load get processed right away, but the later ones have to wait in line for days.

Spoke to my dealer today it seems that mini isnt coming home for another two to three weeks. Mini came in on AIDA but according to my dealer it will be that long before I get it. I continue to be patient. Im in NJ by the way.
I am now an official member of the december club.
