I think the consensus is the ASK MINI and OL info is the least up to date. I'd go with the WW site if it's got info for your VIN.

Rover, I did mean the WAVE, not WIND.

Still crossing my fingers that my Mini is on board the Emden...

I just noticed in your signature that the MINI you ordered is basically identical to my wifes in terms of colors and most options. Hmm, wonder if they got them mixed up. Hopefully we aren't trying to track the same MINI and VIN #

They were ordered on the same date, from the same dealer and with the same original MA.

Very odd.

Just got an email that I'm on a boat. Didn't say which, but said it left yesterday with an eta of June 30 which tells me it's the Emden (K-Line has updated their travel log to reflect a Southhampton departure on 6/18). MINIGolfer, hope your wife's mini is keeping mine company!

My wife just emailed me and said that she received a call from the MA. Her MINI is on the Emden, an it will take 12 days on the sea. So based on that, it should arrive into port at the same time that Freedom does.

Only problem that I am seeing, the Emden doesn't seem to be reporting anything, so it doesn't look like we will be able to track it across the pond.

Woot! Great news. Glad the twins can keep each other company for the cruise! Sure would be nice to pick them up the weekend after the 4th...but I think that might be a stretch!

For those on the Emden, it looks like it has made some decent progress in the past day. Hopefully it will get a good tailwind behind it and push it to Charleston even quicker.

We can hope can't we?

Finally got booked on the Manon

After missing the Madame Butterfly by a day, I've finally got confirmation that I will be on the Manon 6/25/2007 and headed to the West Coast.

Anyone else from Week 23 still waiting for a ride?

When we got done and he left, I stayed to chat w/ MA. He sAYs--your car might be here tomorrow. WHOA...then he goes, let's take a ride to the drop off lot--sometimes they are early and not in our computer.

HOT DANG...IT WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE....................30 DAYS START TO FINISH ..NOT BAD....now they have to prep so I can MOTOR

I'm on the Emden!

MINIUSA updated yesterday to show en route, but nothing yet on the WW site. So I called my MA today and he told me I'm on the Emden and it's scheduled to make port on the 28th. I ordered on June 2nd, so I'm very pleased with the turn time. Little Wonder will be home soon!

Sitting at dealership

Ordered May5th and my MINI is sitting at the dealer awaiting state inspection and emmissions. I pickup on Monday.

That Owner's Lounge was always a few days behind. Dont trust it!

Pretty sweet!

not the best shot but tough with reflections. Do not have a polarizing filter to fit the wide angle. A few more shots in my gallery if you are interested.

all the cars I saw on the lot had the orange sticker. I was so jacked I did not look to see what it said. Might be a port of entry sticker or something.-

Thanks for the congrats

Delivery is currently set for Wed. after work. They are very busy right now and need to prep the car, change the mirrors back to white and add the clear bra.

However, since I am responsible for the sale of 3 MINI S's at their store this month, I think I will be MOTORING asap.

The attached sticker is the scary one. Too many available options, hence too much $$ spent.
