Today I followed my wife down to the MINI dealer for her 30k free maintenance. It cost $20.00 for a fuse. Everything else was free..

It went in like this:

A 2011 Hot Chocolate Cooper

And it came out like this.......

Not bad for $20.00

it's a 2013 MINI S Clubman...

Not bad for a 30k maintenance check! Love seeing the SO group gaining a new member! I can't wait until my SO R59 arrives so I can officially join the owners group.

Ok, who is it that's disembarking at Brunswick? I just saw the Chesapeake Highway just of the coast from Charleston heading south. ETA is estimated at 09:00 March 18th. So, you lucky guys/gals get ready.

Jonack,

With me, Raggi arrived at the port on 3-05 and was loaded up on 3-12. So, that was about one week. It can be faster or a bit longer, but that week is just about right. You'll get there, trust me. No don't do that. We haven't deserted you, but we are in Dead Man's Ocean right now. I"m getting sick of marinetraffic. saying out of range. But, with snow coming tomorrow, that makes it easier for me. Just hope that we don't get a April Surprise Snow Storm.

Well, according to my MA, no... No boat, yet... Unless boats leave on Sat / Sun.... The way I figure it.... In order for me to get a March delivery, I either have to be sailing now, or sailing tomorrow .... Otherwise it is April... Which technically means I should get an inspection sticker for my car ( inspection due March... Will hand over to mini in trade)... Screw it.... I'll just drive it and take my chances ...

Did you put your vin in the track and trace on the shipping company site? And still nothing? I did that and had the info before my MA.

Go to this website http://www.2wglobal.com/www/WEP/index.jsp

Track and Trace on right side if main page
Click on all users
Put your vin in cargo id and hit track
It will come up with the ship info dates etc
Or it will show no record found.

Let me know!

Yes! I knew you were in the ocean! Your MINI was born to close to ours for it not to be. I knew before my MA also. Go to owners lounge and it will probably show you are en route also.
Congrats! Looks like you have a chance for March delivery!

I checked Marine Traffic App and the Boheme is still out of range and its last check in was the 12th and it was in the Celtic Sea!

GREAT! I rather thought that you were en route. Both yours and mine should be within sight very soon off Nova Scotia, probably Tuesday for me, and a bit later for your Boheme. Great to hear. Believe me, if your MA can get it delivered before the April 1st, they will. They try to push everything that they can into that last week of the month.
