Looks like we have quite a few people on here who's MINI's are being built this week and next. Myself, Sjwass, San Marino & Abbett for sure. At least a couple of us will be on the same ship.
I just got in $330 worth of accessories I ordered from Classic.

Build week
San Marino
Originally ASK MINI (live person) told me week of Feb. 9. My MA was totally clueless, she was giving me a March date, then when I called the automated system it told me Feb. 23. Same day, I received my VIN in the owners lounge. My MA still says she can't find me in the build status, so I am left wondering if she even checked. Guess I just have to believe in the MINI karma! I have to say that the tracking thing obviously has some bugs, but I guess it all works out eventually. Once it is in my hands I'll always know where it is.
P.S. My wife has forbidden me to order any more accessories as I have already done about 800$ worth of damage on shift ****, leather boots, K&N intake etc... Maybe I'll have to start getting stuff delivered to work so she won't know!

Not long now chaps!

Just an FYI... I called my MA at 11:00 am this morning and was told that my MINI was already on the train to the VDC. The discharged time listed is also 16:50. Sounds like they were all "discharged" at the same time--and were most likely already at the VDC at that time!

I am astonished! 
This morning 1-866-ASK-MINI told me that GBMINI#3 was built (one day early), now tonight I discover that it is ALREADY LOADED on the TANCRED
So where do I find the sailing time of the Tancred?

(now need to read up on tracking on the water threads!)
Yeah, I plotted the Resolve all the way across, until maybe 12 hours outside of NY.
Here's the site I used.

Hey Ian (GBMINI), looks like our babies are shipmates! Be sure to post if you see the Tancred on the radar (www.sailwx.info). I've checked several times today and it seems it's not out there. Hmmmm...
Cheers,

Ok, how do you find the "booking number"?

If you see your VIN listed on the Don Quijote booking number then I would say its on its way.

Ok, off topic, but... Why do you suggest he marry her, just because she would laugh at a MP movie?
