Asian Emperor list



Just thought I'd start a list of those on the same boat with my new Mule - never got a chance to do that with the old one, as NAM wasn't well organized yet!

1. Randy (Denver, CO)
2. Brendan (San Jose, CA)
3. Cooper2u (San Jose, CA)
4. johnp888 (SoCal, CA)
5. MotorMouth (Honolulu, HI)
6. BritBoy (Pleasanton, CA)
7. dpmini (Vegas, NV)
8. karlinSanDiego (Fallbrook, CA)
9. bxstr2k (Scottsdale, AZ)
10. m3someday (Portland, OR)

I keep checking the sailwx.info site for the callsign 3FKB9 but no luck. I think I read somewhere that ships don't report weather data until they are out away from land. Any expert mini trackers out there know? Maybe we just have to wait for until the 20th.

My ship, the Aida, arrived in NJ yesterday. I was unable to track it across because it evidently never submitted any weather data. I guess it's up to the captain whether to do so or not.

I am on the Asian Emperor, so excited. Although I have been unable to track it also. When anyone finds her on the sailx site, please post!

How do you tell which ship it is on? Mine is listed as "enroute" so I'm assuming its floating around somewhere.

How long till released from dealer?

OK... they're inching their way toward us; a good sign. If they do indeed arrive on Feb. 20th at the VPC, what do you figure will be the actual release date from the dealer. There are 556 cars that have to get through the VPC! Mine only needs to make it down the road to LongBeachMINI.

So where are these cars destined to go?

Interested in putting the location on a map and seeing where the first R56's will be living?
