I'd be willing to bet mine shows at the dealer today. The Mini dealer in Nashville is a sister store to one in Atlanta (owned by same person). I wouldn't be surprised if the same truck stopped in Atlanta and went on to Nashville.

Anyone know if the VDCs are 24/7 operations?
Mine gets in at 4:30am to SC, if it stays on schedule. I dunno if it sits for the weekend, or how far it is from dock to VDC, etc. I'd love to think mine could be at my dealer by Tues/Wed of the next week! (I'm in Orlando, and I know there are 13 other Minis due to head down that way as well, should be a truckfull!

OL was right. The car is there now. They still don't have me scheduled until Saturday morning. That's OK though. I may have trouble sleeping Friday night however.

Here She Comes!!
And here comes the Golden Fan, down from Baltimore... next stop: Charleston!
My MA says it's realistic to expect my car to be in my hands by early the week after next. He said it should get through the SC VDC in only a day or two!
If the car gets in on Saturday, it won't be processed until Monday, and then it's a matter of getting a truck for it. Not long now, can't wait... but I've gotten used to it so I will.

My MA called me last night and said my car is at Charleston VDC. Should be at the dealership in 7 to 10 days, which after waiting this long is nothing. Definitely a good time of year to take ownership, longer days and nice weather.

In route on Madame Butterfly?
I'm not sure if I'm in this Production Group but my MA told me today that my CR MCS finished production on 3/17 and is in route to US on the Madame Butterfly (WCE7231), can't get any tracking info on line but due in to Port Hueneme, CA on 4/16. Does this info agree with anything the rest of you have heard?

According to the WW website, the Madame Butterfly is scheduled to go through the Panama Canal on April 7 and be into Port Hueneme on the 16th, as you indicated.

Had plans for pick up today of my BRG MC. Hasn't showed at dealer yet. 
Dealer says if it shows he has techs available to do DPI if the truck pulls up today. He's anxious to get it out for end of month as well, so maybe, but I've quit holding my breath. Looking more like next week.

Looks like all the Golden Fan Mini's made it off and will go through VDC soon. My Ma said I will have mine before the 10th and maybe as early as Friday/ Sat this week. Woo Hoo I can't wait!!!! It's been a very hard 2 months since I wrecked my 05 Mini S so this will be a new beginning for me!

Patriot
Anyone who was on the Patriot that hit the shores 3/24 still not have their car. My dealer expected it for 3/31 delivery, it has not shown up yet. He says its status is cleared customs and vdc, just not shown yet.

My Mini was on the Patriot and I have not taken delivery yet. My MA is expecting the car sometime this week and ready by end of the week. But as of today I have not heard from my dealership.

My car got in on the Golden Fan Saturday, and as of this evening was still not to the VDC, which is 200 miles away ( I think by train). My MA says middle of next week is when I can realistically expect to see it.

I was on the Patriot, it hit Jersey on the 19th of March. I picked my car up on the 24th in Towson, Maryland. Was really suprised to only take the 5 days.
