The ship Integrity has sailed as of 1pm EST Saturday. My MCS AB/AB sport,prem,conven,cold,chrome int/ext,LSD is aboard. Anyone else anxiously tracking this vessels voyage to SC VDC. According to its logs it left SC Apr. 2 and arrived in Southampton Apr. 11 so if the trip back is anything like the trip over we should expect it to dock Apr. 28. Hopefully 3-5 days at the VDC and then 1-2 days transport to Mini of Nashville and 1-2 day dealer prep. So conservatively speaking I should be getting a call from my MA to take delivery around May 7. Here's to smooth sailing!

 

I too am anxiously tracking my mini to the first stop in New York, sry to busrt your bubble tho but i think you may have to add a few more days to your wait. i was figuring mine would be arriving between the 5-10th. but i hope that i am wrong so you get your mini sooner too, cuzz then i'd be getting mine earlier too, haha but i figured this out too which kinda supports when i'd be gettin mine around those dates, i figured out about how fast the boats going, southampton to nyc aprox 3500 miles, (1 knot = 1.15mph) 12.7knots x 1.15mph= 14.6mph, 14.6 x 24= 350.4 miles a day, 350.4 miles x 10 days= 3504miles on the 29th in nyc. hows your Mini OCD stack up to mine? hahaha . just playin but best of luck to you and your new mini.

 

I am also waiting for the Integrity to cross the pond. The suspense is starting to get to me. Only a couple weeks till my car gets to Florida. Theres a thread in the first gear section titled Week 16 support group with some others on the same ship. Is it bad that I already bought some things to mod my car?

 

Hey! I was wondering who else was in here drinking all those martinis on board ship! I just checked and it should hit New York on the 28th and sail out on the 29th. If all goes well, and customs doesn't hold up my car I hope to pick it up next Sat May 3rd ... (fingers crossed).

Shaggy - the answer is ... NO! You bought some GIFTS for your MINI - like a good owner should. to make it feel at home.

i've been plotting the boats course on google earth.

 

Hey Peter314, Looks like the Integrity has arrived in NYC. Let us know when you get your baby. Pictures please! Still 5 more days before mine gets to Charleston. Hopefully the VDC will not be too busy and can get mine on a truck to Nashville ASAP. I am hoping for delivery on or before the 10th. Any other Nashville bound mini owners to be waiting for this boat to come in?

 

Waiting in Little Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

can do cutters68, look for a post maybe in the main thread. last i heard like 3 days ago it was off the boat and being waiting to be taken to the vdc, so its not long now

 

Yes - they were off the boat Mon. The info that I have as of 5pm today is that a Monday delivery is likely (but NOT guaranteed). I should know tomorrow what the deal is (I hope)
