YEAH!

According to my MA, she left Southampton on July 20, due in South Carolina August 2, here in Chicago on August 9, ready for pickup August 11.

Guess I'm not on a WW ship. Any way of telling which ship I'm on? (I forgot to ask my MA and I hate to bother him again he's been so patient with me...)

Call your MA again!!!! That is their J.O.B. It's not as if they have to try real hard to sell MINIs. They sell themselves. So, if all an MA does is hand hold customers with MINIs on order, then they are earning their pay.

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallll him back!!

Mike told me to tell y'all "Hiya!". He's out of town for a few days on business...and he's going insane not being able to track the Carmen's progress.

It might be better for him, it's been a while since I've looked (I've lost my super duper AISLive trial subscription) but the last I recall, the Carmen wasn't scheduled to leave Southampton until very late tonight our time.

Hi, guys...I think I'm at the tail end of Week 29 (my build was finished July 21), and I'm anxiously waiting for the new baby to arrive...according to the WW tracking site, it's aboard the Patriot, set to leave port sometime today. I'd like to track it, but trying to identify the "Patriot" without the callsign seems a bit much for sailwx.

Anyhow, our new baby is an Oxygen Blue MC, with the sport/premium/convenience/cold weather packages and hi-fi. This will be my daily commuter (55 miles each way) so it'll pratcially be my second home...we're still working on our name list, but delivery is fast approaching...

Welcome ChrisSBU! Your baby sounds very similar to mine (only mine is Astro Black). I have a 70 mile commute so I'm with you on the second home thing!

Hi there! Mine is O2 blue as well - yea! Good choice!!!

Freedom should be docked in NY tomorrow! Then one more week to Charleston... this is just the dullest part of the wait.

I'm on the Frisia which was due 8/2, but it's disappeared off the South Carolina vessel schedule. ??

Edit: Now it's shown up - EDA 7/30!

I just checked the Charleston Port Schedule and the Frisia is curectly docked in Charleston, 2 days before it's scheduled arrival?

http://www.port-of-charleston.com/vessel_schedule.asp


Can this be possible?


I wonder if this will get my car to the dealer faster, or does the dealer already have arrangements made based on the expected date of arrival?


Hmmm only time will tell.

Casner you are probably on the Frisia. The dates you mention above all match. And as you can see by my post above.

THEY'RE HERE!

RIGHT NOW!

TODAY!

YIPEE!

My new Mini is on the Patriot, which is set to arrive in NYC on Aug 6, but looking at the tracking info on sailwx, it's only been at sea a couple of days and appears to already be halfway across the ocean. I'd love to think that there's a chance it'll be here sooner...
