Me too :impatient
The guy at ASK-MINI said my mini will probably wait another week for other west-coast bound mini's to join it on its voyage through panama. Lucky you, east coasters get theres about a week faster than us

I ordered my MCS on Feb 5. my first question is how did you find out which ship your MCS is boarded? second question, who told you your car was loaded today? sorry if I sound a little uninformed but I'm new to this MINI world.

The MINI Lounge is a poor substitute for calling MINI. My experience is that "on order" usually means 3-4 weeks.

Our cars can discuss their futures in the Arizona desert to pass the time.

Loui,

I'm on the Asian King and it should be docking this weekend, I haven't been able to track it at all. I guess they don't like to post weather reports.

Sounds like your ship...
