Just talked to MINI and I'm status 150, started production, but not yet in body shop. Still on track for 4/11.

 

>>Anyone know which port would be used to offload cars bound for Utah?

PORT HUENEME, CA is the port of entry for all West Coast States. Since Utah is just a state away, I would assume that they would recieve their cars from the same port.

 

My IB MCS just left Southampton on the Jingu Maru. It should arrive in Charleston on 4/12 after an overnight stop in NYC.

 

I just tried the WW cargo tracking site, and learned my car just arrived in Southampton a few hours ago and is booked on the Isolde, which sails April 11!

 

Welcome to the club g3. There are a few here with the estimated production date of April 18, 2003.

With all these posts about cars being assembled or waiting to be shipped, I had to call Mini. Status 150 for me but I also wanted to ask about the console/armrest available in Europe. They have had several calls about the part and she mentioned that it may take time if it does make it here to the U.S. Maybe I need to get in contact with a friend in Europe.

 

status 155- production complete. yeay! still no mention of 15 on the WW website

 

Page 2???? Not anyomre!

Hey Bear, when did your car finish production? I am assuming that since your car arrived at Southampton today, 4/1/03, you were booked on the 25th of March? So I'm guessing that your car was finished before the 25th?

From what I've seen, once a car is booked on a boat, it takes about 7 days for the car to arrive in Southampton. I just wanted to get some kind of timeline to see how long it will be until I am booked on a boat.

 

I was "scheduled for production" 4/4/03, but when I called ASK MINI on 3/31 they told me I was already Code 160, the car was finished already... presumably on 3/28... and today when I entered my VIN on the WW Shipping website, it showed me a firm booking on the ISOLDE sailing from Southampton 4/11. So that's pretty fast work.

I must point out I don't KNOW exactly where Nigel is at this minute, really... the Owner's Lounge, a bit behind, says I'm still "scheduled for production" and hasn't promoted me to "awaiting transport" yet... but I ASSUME he's on the dock in Southampton or en route there.

Now that things are happening, it's all happening more quickly than I'd hoped. :smile:

 

hi all, my car was finished 3/25, was recieved and booked on the Jingu Maru
on 3/27 and is loaded and left port on 4/1 !!!!!!! Caffeinated our cars are
shipmates !!!

 

>>I thought I might be in the ICWFJC. My production number is 3741208 with an April 18 production date. Any other optimists out there with a 4/18 date?

Damn - I read your post and thought I would check the WW site, but nada. Must STILL be in production.

 

Ok I have the same info as you but everytime I try to check out the WW shipping site to see if my car is booked there I get a syntax error from their site. What's the deal?

 

I run into that a lot as well. Usually I just go back and reload the page and it eventually comes up.

 

welcome aboard! I bet the "kids" are up on deck playing shuffle board right now.

 

Very interesting...I just checked the shipping site, and my MINI was booked on the 25th of March, and was recieved at the terminal on 4/2. That is wierd, because my car was supposedly completed yesterday 4/1!! When I talked to the people at ASK MINI they told me that my car wouldn't get to Southampton for about a week!!??!! Oh well. I guess I will trust the shipping site. It looks like my car is headed to Oregon on the ISOLDE on April 11th!

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the Owners Lounge, as I sm still "Scheduled For Production" as well.

 

Ok I tried that and it worked. It says under status removed under the Jingu Maru and the Carmen. So I called ASKMINI and they said it's on it's way to the docks for shipping. So I guess it was scheduled for those other ships but took too long to get there so it was removed from their shipping list????
Confused

 

removed? that sucks EPilot- I just checked the WW site and I'm booked on the Carmen, but I think my mini has just finished production (called ask-mini and i was told that they are currently updating)

in any case, happy to be booked on a boat. anyone else on the carmen?

 

>>>>I thought I might be in the ICWFJC. My production number is 3741208 with an April 18 production date. Any other optimists out there with a 4/18 date? :smile:

 

It says that I'm on the waitlist.

 

I'M ON THE CARMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe this! MAX the MINI is now heading to NYC!!!!!!!!!

 

I just checked my status on the Carmen and it says I'm received at terminal and I'm booked on the Carmen but it still says I'm in waitlist status.

I'm very confused now.

Where exactly does it say that you're on the waitlist? I'm confused, too!

 

It says that at the bottom of the page.

 

Welcome to the club Mini=Love. How is your Mini equiped?

Epilot, I updated you on the site.

 

SB, you are amazing! I don't know how you update your site so quickly. What on earth will you do when our MINIs arrive? I guess we'll have to get 2nd MINIs and start the process all over again!
