Gabe,
So your car left the factory only 24 hours prior to getting on a ship. Nice.

Curious they send a Chigago car to Charleston, SC? Why not Newark?

 

Yeah - hopefully that bodes well for others.

 

Gabe, one more thing. Ask your contact at mini, to get us a Nav voice change hack.

 

Wow guys, my mini went from scheduled for production with no production date 2 days ago to in the paint shop today! Does that make me week 23? If so, I'm very, very happy to join you guys in your support group! :D

 

So I take it you can't change the voice the "British" anymore? I'll ask around.

 

Gabe,
I'm SURE it can be done, just probably hasn't been done YET!! ;-)

My Mini is now in the body shop! Whee! Scheduled completion is 6/10 still!
I wonder what ship I'll make...

 

well done gabe. see you on the integrity thread

 

Integrity sailed this morning and I am on-board...its all GOOD

 

Notmestl - I'm with you...body shop...June 10th.

Good luck!

 

Anyone in week 23 still waiting for a ride to the west coast?... or am I the only one?

 

Hi Rover, I'm with you. I've officially been "released to the carrier; awaiting transport to the port of exit". I'm headed to the West Coast too, so I'm hoping that the crews work on the weekends and I'll make it onto the Madame Butterfly leaving on Monday June 11th!

 

dont forget to check the ww site, it should show when you are booked on the ship etc

 

I'm right there with you, too!

 

What's the booking number for the MADAME BUTTERFLY? My VIN isn't turning up anything on WW and I want to try to find it another way. I'm still crossing my fingers that I'll get on instead of having to wait for the MANON.

 

Booking Number : GBSOU542808
Vessel: MADAME BUTTERFLY
Port of origin : SOUTHAMPTON
Voyage : ED723-MBU
Port of Destination : PORT HUENEME, CA

 

Mine is scheduled to arrive at US port on 7/2!!!!! Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!

 

rover, you're on the boat, right? Disregard, found your earlier post. Congrats.

r56mini, Glad to hear you made it. OT: whatcha gonna do about the Sport Cups?

 

Mgibrace,
The latest from WW is still only "received at terminal". I suppose I won't see the "loaded on vessel" line until Sunday or Monday.

Using the aisfree.com site, I can see the INTEGRITY in Southampton now and the MADAME BUTTERFLY in Zeebrugge.

 

I will buy a set of cheap 16x7 black or gunmetal wheels on ebay for $300 and mount the track tires on them.

 

I wish you guys would get your cars already!! That would mean mine is just aroudn the corner.

 

Still scheduled for completion today, however I have been "in the paint shop" since Friday night LOL... It must be getting a serious paint job!

 

It's likely that you car is already on it's way to the port. The updates over the weekend aren't as frequent according to my MA.

 

For those of us west coast folks waiting on the MADAME BUTTERFLY, its left Zeebrugge for Southampton to load the MINIs. I just need to get confirmation that my car is on that ship so I can relax.

 

I still don't show up on the Madame Butterfly yet either, but I'll keep hoping until she sets sail!
