>>To the rest of the 2/28 crew...considering I am last...How long did it take to go from 160-193 and ready at the docks? When do you know what boat I'm scheduled for?

>>Thanks! Sorry, i'm a little slow!

Mine took only a couple days. Once it was released and awaiting transport to the dock, I kept checking the shipping site. Eventually, I popped in my last 7 characters from my VIN and I got everything I needed to know.

Now mine is sitting waiting to be loaded. Good luck and have fun.

I just checked the shipping site and the "Waitlist" has been cleared. Katiedidmini and should be loaded on the Jingu Maru in the next day or so. Looks like the scheduled departure date changed to 3/3/02.

Ryephile, FYI..........ASKMINI is still showing me at 190, but I'm showing arrived and ready for loading on the shipping site. Experience has shown me that once the car begins it's journey to the docks, and then across the pond, ASKMINI seems to be behind in their information.

Great job with everything.......my opinion is that we can't thank you enough. Someone had to do the list, you accepted the challenge, and as a March and April member I can say you're the best. Thanks for making this so much easier on the rest of us.

Birdie

Hang in there Zero and Buskas, and anyone else! It only took me about 2 days to get to be "recieved" at the So. Hampton port, and the Jingu Maru won't even be there untill the 3rd. It's cutting close, but you just might make it! Just keep checking theat cargo site, it does seem to have more info than askmini.

I noticed a few members have achieved status 190, which wasn't on my "list". So I added it! Check it out:

MINI Status Codes
37 Order is at BMW NA (On Order)
87 Production Week Assigned
97 Order Sent at Factory
111 Order Accepted at Factory
112 Order Scheduled for Production
150 Production Started (Scheduled for Production)
151 Body Shop Started
152 Paint Shop Started
153 Assembly Started
155 Production Completed
160 Released to Distribution
182 Released to Carrier (Awaiting Transportation)
190 Awaiting Transport (loaded on the transport)
193 Arrived at Port of Exit (Received at Terminal)
194 Selected for Shipment (Loaded on Vessel)
195 Shipped from Port of Exit (En Route)
196 Shipment Arrival (Discharged)

...My MCS was bumped to 150 today! Looks like I'm the 1st of the 3/14 group to hit this, maybe Indi Blue will be painted first?

Cheers,
Ryan

Hey this is like a total side note, but does anyone know if it's possible to change your username around here(with out losing your stats and what not)? I just thought it'd be silly if I changed my name to "Katiedoesmini" once my mini arrives.

Don't suppose they will hold that boat for me?? think I might be headed for the docks early next week.

Anyone noticed if it takes longer in the paint shop for B/W roof's?

Great list Ryan

Kind of fun to look back through some of the early stuff.

Have a good night
RAT

Turtle is the perfect Motoring partner :smile:

also...
Rat: unfortunatly, I doubt they'll hold the boat for you Although that would be awesome! When the factory does the contrast roof, it's an added aspect of the production, so it defnitely takes longer. My guess is that the vast majority get contrast roofs, so body-color roofs kinda slip ahead (maybe?)

Gettin' old skool eh? I'm sure it's cool to see how far CWFAC has come!

Cheers and good night,
Ryan

Strangly, the Lounge still has me "scheduled for production". I will Ask MINI in the morning.

Must be something with British workers building british racing green cars.....

According to ASK.MINI, I'm status 190. On a train destined for the port.

When I put my Vin into the cargo tracker it shows that I've arived at the terminal, and scheduled to sail on the Undine leaving the UK on 3/1/03 and arriving in Port Hueneme on 3/20/03.

Here's hoping that I might be able to get the car early April. :smile: :smile: :smile:
