Where's mine??

I called my MA and the ASk Mini Number and they told me that my Mini is still in UK??
But when I put my VIN in the link above it shows that it made it to NEW York --- Has anyone else had this experience? Don't know where mine is now

Me too cheeky, according to everybody but WW, my baby is in Southampton, but WW says it has been discharged in NY,NY. Personally I trust WW more than MINI at this point

I was told back when I was waiting that Mini is always a few days behind on where the car actually is. Your dealer should be able to look it up in DealerSpeed and tell you exactly where it is.

My MA says it is on a ship coming still 2 weeks out (is this what Dealer Speed is telling him :impatient )
He said he was not aware of the WW site that we have been using. EX-Pat how did you find out the details on yours.

I am so confused, I don't know what to believe now.

My dealer thinks it is Southampton, as does the OL and ASKMINI, only WW is saying it has been discharged in NY, and as WW scans everything, I am more inclined to believe WW at this point

And just think, if anybody has cr/w with bonnet stripes it would even be the right color scheme from Where's Waldo.

OK so OL says my Mini is in transit, and AskMini says it is still at the port. So maybe if OL is a few days behind, My Mini will be on a truck by this weekend headed for Maryland.

Waait. You can go to see the ship before picking the Mini up?
And if you are a socal resident can you pick the car up from the VDC in Port (H something) in CA? Near Oxnard/Camarillo?

Everyone should be off the INTEGRITY at this point. DoubleDuece was off loaded on Saturday evening at 5 PM (don't know if it was EDT or GMT). Ex Pat, any update on Smudge? Anyone else who was on the INTEGRITY have their cars in their hot little hands?

My dealer is too far away to check. MINIUSA says that the car is at the VDC but an estimated delivery date of yesterday. ASK-MINI says my car is still at the port awaiting a vessel. Too much conflicting info. I hop[e to have my car by the end of this week.
