Looks like Wags is too busy chatting in the April club. Maybe that's where he would like to be

 

>>Tony, aka mr. slick....

>>Yeah, they have a really quick get out of the VPC to St. Louis since mine is showing 3/6 that is only 1 week after it hits the dock in NY.... but we must be hopeful... I can't remember if yours is a Cooper or Cooper S. Either way they will look good sitting by each other. The red and the green.... two awesome colors.

Mine is a MC-I already drive with a lead foot so I didn't need anymore help! Actually my hubby wants a MCS. BRG by the way although we saw a PW/B over the weekend so he may have changed his mine again I'll let him pay for the next one!

 

When does OL start showing EDD? Is that EDD to my dealership or the destination port? I'm currently sailing on the Libra Leader. Due in to port in CA on 3-10-03. Is there another EDD you guys are referring to? Thanks.

The EDD will probably show up after your car reachs the dealer, the MINIs on the west coast do not seem to get the EDD date like the east coast.

 

Thanks for the clarification MINI-ROLLS. BTW, great color you picked :smile:

You're a good guy, I was just messin with you! :smile: Just be careful with the company you keep in the April Club young man!

MundoMini: Welcome!! Sorry I missed your post a couple of days ago, I added you to the list!!

Bill

 

>>
>>Who is your favorite person at ASKMINI?
>>
>>Mine is Jen, Jen ROCKS!!
>>

I keep track and the last 25 calls to ASKMINI, I got Jen....Yeah, she ROCKS!!!
She even has my home number ( ah, I feel special), to call back and answer all my questions. BTW, she's anwered them all except when MINI will exactly be home :???:

 

wjklos - I'm on the Tosca! =-) I feel left out on the update. Just kidding.


Any way for you to track the Tosca now or is it off the map? I tried tracking it, but no luck. Bummer.



>>I think I'm at status 195 now. I called ASK MINI this morning and they said I was at 193, but I just checked my MINI on the shipping site and guess what? The wait list was removed and it said my car was loaded on the vessel. It also said vessel has sailed!
>>
>>Just a few more weeks.

 

wjklos,

I'm not sure if I'm at 193 or 194, but I am booked on the Jingu Maru scheduled to leave Southampton on 3/2 and arrive in NY/NJ on 3/11.

MINIDean,

Where had you seen that there was a "waitlist"? On the Cargo History screen I see an "*" means cargo is in Waitlist status, but I did not see an "*" near any part of my information such as Booking Number, Cargo ID, etc. Does this mean there is no "Waitlist" at this time?

Anyway, very exciting to see this much progress since 2/14. There's been a change almost every day or two. I should probably do some work!

Hi - Can I join your club?

I placed an order with a dealer in Connecticut on Feb 10 for a Silk Green. I guess that Feb is the last time they will make that color so my production date was 2/21, and according to the MINI site, Poco is built and awaiting transport.

Geez, from the sounds of most other people on this list, my baby has had a much shorter gestation period than most. I feel like I'm missing out on some of the fun.

I got you at 193. When you're loaded on the ship, you'll be at 194. As far as the waitlist goes, if there is a "*" on the page you're looking at, you're waitlisted. However, keep checking back as I think that everyone is waitlisted once they get to the dock. On the CARMEN, everybody had a "*" until a few days before the ship sailed when they determined how many MINIs they can take.

Cheers,
Bill

Welcome kotis! Come on in! I've got you on the list for this evening.

A couple of demographic questions: Where is your dealer? What color is your roof?

Cheers,
Bill

Whoah, I didn't even know you were including me in this club. This is wierd, I feel like I'm two-timing the clubs now.

I'm an optimist. I always figured you and BBuskas would be motoring in March. :smile:

ASKMINI Says that the boat was delayed 2 days. I don't know if it was the 24th to 26th delay or 26 to 28th delay. Aaron said call back Friday...

I would bet that it's the same delay we knew about. WW updated their site to show that CARMEN won't be departing until tomorrow (2/27). So she probably will get in later than they thought today, but still today.

Bill

 

Ohh, I have so much to learn about this stuff.

I ordered my Mini from New Country Mini in Hartford, CT

She's silk green with a white roof

CVT, Packages 1,2,3, Chrome, roof rack, leather steering wheel, that's all I can remember. (I'm a little worried about the roof rack, I hope I don't regret it, but I do need to be able to carry around my kayak)

How do you know what boat you will be on?

kotis

 

kotis,

click on the ultimate mini guide in my signature.

Then click on the guide

then click on Where is my MINI?

 

>>How do you know what boat you will be on?

* First, go to the tracking site at http://213.31.205.37/GLWebApps.AppTracking. Here you will
be able to get the actual name of your boat.
* Under "Track By Cargo", select "Auto".
* Type in the last 7 characters of your VIN# (from the "T" to the end)
* Click on "Track"

Let us know if you have any other questions!
Bill

 

I got my "MINI MIND MELD" email from MINIUSA today. Filled out the preferences. We'll see if MINI of St Louis does it . I'm so excited I can hardly stand it Also I could not get the link to work in Internet Explorer so I sent it to my Netscape mail & it worked in Netscape! (just in case anyone else has problems with it)
Bill,
I also saw where the CARMEN must be a little late in arriving today & won't leave NYC until tomorrow. My question is if the WW site says port of destination is NYC I assume that's where Louie will disembark! Although when you look at the map SC seems closer to Missouri!!! Do any Marchers show South Carolina as their "port of destination"?

 

Good Day!

From all indications, CARMEN should be docking or even unloading at the moment. Too cool!

I dropped an email to Barry Wilson at MINI of Towson concerning the EDD of 2/28 and whether this was realistic. He wrote:

The excitement builds!

Mark
