Yo scooterboy,

Pour me a Jameson's on the rocks. Been at sea a day on the Tai Shan and aside from my Mini travel partners I just see water and the horizon. Need land soooon.

 

ME!!! Indi Blue MC CVT-I am so excited!!!! I am driving a 15 year old toyota tercel manuel shift, with no airconditioning- and today in NJ it was hot and humid, so now I'll be cool for summer!

 

>>And, according to the W&W site, there are 9 siblings of our Cooper on-board the Tai Shan which arrives in NYC on the 20th. Who else has a Cooper on this ship?
>>
I am too- Indi Blue MC CVT-!! I live in NJ

 

>>Pour me a Jameson's on the rocks.

yuk, that is *** in liquid form!

i finally have information! my car will be on the MAERSK TEAL leaving this saturday and getting to NY on the 23rd! yipee!!

Well I guess I'm shuffling to the next club over. I received my production number and my estimated production date is 7/25. So it's going to take some breaks for me to even make the August club. I'll keep an eye on you guys to get a feel for how the scheduling is working out. All the best.

 

Whoo-hooo!!!
Awaiting transport!

 

OK, a very excited MINI owner here!! Coop is en route (as I've known for the last week). MY owner's lounge page was updated, now I have an estimated delivery date. The date they're giving me is 6/24. How reliable are these dates???

Also, some advice is needed. I'm supposed to go to a show (DEAD PNC arts center 6/25) should I cancel in expectation of a welcome home motoring session?? What would you do?

You guys rock!

 

Awaiting Transport also. W&W says I'm going on the JINGU MARU. Anyone else?

 

Just curious.....Anyone out there seen the Grand Race floating around the coast of Cali lately? It was supposed to arrive at Port Hueneme yesterday, but the WW website still shows it at sea.

This wait is getting more difficult by the day I tell ya!

 

OK, time to toss some life into this thread. The Tai Shan has apparently docked (whether it has unloaded or not I am not sure). I have also, apparently, annoyed my motoring advisor a little too much. Methinks he's gonna snap one of these days! Ah well.

An interesting thing happend, I looked on the Owner's Lounge and had an estimated delivery date of 6/24. So, I called my advisor, and very excitedly told him this. To which he responded, "I don't think so, very little chance you'll have it by the 24th, I'm shootin for 7/2" Bummer! Oh well, turns out, that's my b-day anyway. So, I checked the lounge the next day, and my delivery date had disappeared OOOOHHHH NOOOOO!!! What can I say, just another impatient owner here! Anyone else having a hard time coping with this?? (under 2 weeks!)

 

OK, so, I am a freak, but, then again, who isn't?

My delivery date is back, and it says 6/24 again!! HAZAAA!! I am quite excited again.

Anyone think I can actually expect to be motoring next week (no disrespect to my fellow July clubbers, but, I'll still be one at heart)

 

The Jingu Maru has sailed from Southhampton and according to W&W; my DS/B MCS was loaded on the vessel. New York arrival on the 30th. Hope the seas are calm :smile: :smile: :smile:

 

My MCS is also awaiting transport. Does any one know about how long it takes for the car to reach Texas when it gets loaded on the boat? I hope I get it quick.

 

Miniusa says that the MCS is at the distribution center. Mini-Haptons says that they'll have it on Monday! Then, it's gets loaded up and shipped to AZ. It's getting closer every day!

 

Whoo-hoo! Just went to en-route today :smile:

 

Make sure you type in your FULL VIN number.....

My MCS is waiting for me at the dealer....picking up next Thursday!




>>Whoo-hoo! Just went to en-route today :smile:

 

>>1. I went to the W&W site, clicked on "auto" typed in the TD##### and it comes up with nada. What am I doing wrong? I thought it supposed to update sooner than MINI owners lounge.


Make sure there's no space at the end!

Yay - estimated delivery date of 6/30! It's so close I can almost taste it : )

 

Hey Minidawn! We're off the Grand Race and my Mini is at my dealer RIGHT NOW waiting for us! They wanted us to pick him up today but we can't get there until Saturday.

 

My MINI just came up En Route, est delivery is 7/3/03. My dealer said it takes 7-10 days to get the car from South Carolina to Texas. I can't wait.


BTW What exactly is W&W? I have done searches but I don't get any thing back.

 

>>Hey Minidawn! We're off the Grand Race and my Mini is at my dealer RIGHT NOW waiting for us! They wanted us to pick him up today but we can't get there until Saturday. :smile:

Actually, when I called my dealer they said it would be a little after the 30th when I get it. Guess they have to do all their mystical 'dealer prep' work. BUT, I'll likely get it before the 4th, which is AWESOME!! Just barely squeaked in to the July club!

Have a great time up in Portland / Seattle. That's the one part of the country I've never been too, but I'm dying to go. Someday.....

We're driving up to Red Rocks today to see Widespread Panic. Just won't be doing it in a MINI quite yet!

D

 

Who's waiting for the Jinga Maru to unload this week? I am!!! My MCS should hit US soil in the next couple of days. Don't know where it will be unloaded at. NY, Balt., or Charlston. Anyone know how the unloading port is determined? With luck my six month wait will be over in July.

 

Mini/Hamptons called today and the Mini is at the dealership now. Unfortunately, I live in AZ. We'll finish up the paperwork in the next day or so and hopefully, they'll get a shipper lined up by the end of the week. I hope I'll have it by July 10th with a little luck. Normally, I ride to work with my wife but she has a class on Mondays and Wednesday so on those days, I ride the motorcycle. That's tough when it's 111 degrees out today. :smile:

 

Dealer just called...the MINI is here. Picking up tomorrow! I had a feeling it might be today. On the way to work I spotted 3 MINIs, and was cruising alongside one most of the way to work, so I thought it might be a omen.

Wow! Congrats ronvan :smile: Can't wait for pictures!

I spotted a record 4 MINI's on the way to work. BRG/W, CR/B, LY/W and EB/W. Of course it was only b/c I forgot something and had to go back home, creating a 1 hour and 40 minute commute...oops

My dealer's got my MINI, just waiting to finish the mythical dealer prep. I wish I knew why this took a week Might have to give 'em another call today....it's been over 24 hours. That's not stalking, is it?!?!

 

I'm not getting a good feeling.

The boat hit NJ on the 20th, and every car on it that was destined for my dealership is now in its owner's hands except two of them - one of which is mine. At first I thought "well someone on every boat has to be last", but now I'm hearing that the cars that arrived on the next boat 4 days later are being delivered to their owners this week.

But here I sit without my car. I'm imagining horrible things like mine got damaged on the boatride and they're hastily repairing it. I'm feeling very paranoid. Does anyone know of any other reasons why mine would be left behind while later boatloads are being released from the VPC?

Someone please make me feel better!
