Do you believe that Owner's Resources still has me awaiting transport ... There is no reason for Mini not to be on -the-money with their website resources... Really bush league....

 

John,

I've found their computer related technologies whether it be their internet, phone apps or in car things like Voice Commands and connect to be lacking.

They need to catch up....

MA is disputing my data... Saying that data can be misleading / incorrect unless you get it from BNW / MINI... I just sent him a copy of Boheme invoice... This should be verified / or corrected today!

 

Jonack,
No, I'd dispute what your MA is saying, as Mini OL is always late. It took them three days to admit that my guy was/is in transit. And, the shipping company is the one that takes over once it is released to them. Actually Mini hasn't much to do with your car once it is unloaded from the train.
I haven't heard from Maria, my MA in about a week now. They receive, as she told me last week, when the car is about one week from them, or in other words, a day or so from the POA. Anyway, stay cool, don't get too excited, like I am a good one to talk about that.

 

Boy you guys are tough as rocks.....

We bought my wife's new clubman on Saturday. She is picking it up tonight at 6pm.

I'm all excited and it's not even mine, the anticipation is killing me.......

I can't imagine waiting more than a month.......

Guess that's why she calls me "Mister Instant Gratification"....

Hang in there,

Andy

 

We, as self aware motorers, usually find the info out first. MINI is usually wrong. At one point in my process ASKMINI automated said one thing, OL said another and an operator said a third answer. As of now MINI had my boat supposedly leaving on the 8th but it actually left on the 11th. they say its a 15 day cruise. WELLLL, K-lines schedule said the boat was supposed to leave on the 11th and its only a 12 day cruise. I'm tempted to believe K-line more than MINI USA right now. All in all, I dont care as long as my baby boy gets here soon and fast enough for me to break him in before the dragon.

 

ChefTyGuy, well how are you sitting right now? The last on my WW Lines Tirranni had it leaving the Celtic Seat 3 days, 14 hours ago heading due West. On my figures, it should be getting pretty close to the Nova Scotia beaches. Cold beaches, but still beaches. By the way, my Lil Raggi will enter the US of A in snow/rain and the first day of Spring. Welcome to America.

 

Athens Highway hasn't updated since the 11th when it left the English Channel. i'm looking at picking it up hopefully the last week of this month. That guy near me with the Akrapovic exhaust is willing to wait until I take shipment of Marron so we can do a swap for exhausts, then its on to all the other little mods ill be doing like crazy.

 

MADE AN ERROR...
I am on the TURANDOT.... Left the port yesterday .... Scheduled to arrive in NJ 3/ 26.....
How long will it take to get to Bedford, NH Mini ???

This is what happened: my MA sent me an invoice from another customer to show me how specific info is reported to him ... A previous email has a similar invoice with my vin , etc. I inserted the other guy's vin... He is on the Boheme.... At least I'm on the ocean ....
Lets go TURANDOT....
Best , JoNack.... Do you think I will have it before April?

 

If I were a betting man, I'd say you're looking at getting him the first week of April. Here's what I would bet on a schedule:
Two days at POA and VDC.
One day to your dealers .
Two days to prep your car if
Your MA likes you.

If he really wants the business in March, it's possible, but everything will have fall into place just right. We're pulling for you!

You can probably add a day if you're buying in one state and registering and taking delivery in another. Cost me two or three, but I was trying to get vanity plates that were being held by the registry (failed in the end, but got them on eventually!).

 

Here I sit at my computer, all three maps from WW Lines, MarineTraffic, and Sailex all say the same, out of area, not available, or something like that. I think that it's time for The Tirranna to show itself. Like most of you all, my MA says that she is finding the same as I am finding. She's ordering out the Chili Red Viper stripes today, so that they will be there for when Lil Raggi shows up. She thinks that there will be no problem with our deadline of March 30th for delivery. Just think, that's only 11 more days. I think that the Tirranna should show up today, somewhere, as the POA ETA is late tomorrow our time for docking at Baltimore. Ok, I've rambled again, enough.

 

The Tyrandot must still be in the English Channel!!!

 

In that case, you can find him on Sailex. But my guy is lost in the Atlantic.

 

Hemi... Is there a website for sailex?

 

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/index.html

This is the site that I mentioned, but marinetraffic.com is better in the English Channel. None are any good out past the Celtic Sea. Hope this helps.

Bill

 

Ok guys, help! On the WWLine site it now says that the Tirranna has gone thru customs at New Jersey. Does this mean that it has landed at a Customs Center in New Jersey? I don't remember this happening last time, although the ship did run around New York harbor at several stops. Any informational knowledge would be if help to me. Any thoughts? Thanks

Bill

 

A preliminary stop in New Jersey makes zero sense to me. Baltimore is the first scheduled port of call. Bringing a ship into port, especially one of this size, is not a trivial evolution.

U.S. Customs has a 24-hour Advance Vessel Manifest Rule. The purpose is to enable CBP to analyze container content information associated with items staged for onload prior to any port of call in the U.S. My guess is that what you see is evidence that WWLine has received the "go ahead" from CBP to head on into Baltimore as scheduled.

 

It says: Customs Release. Wood Cliff, NJ

 

Wood cliff, NJ is where MINI USA is located. That's not the port.

 

That's what I was asking, I didn't say that it was a port, just that maybe it was in that area. My guess is that it is still two days off the port of Baltimore and that the contents of the ship are being released to customs officials. But, I don't remember WW Lines making this statement, like it is a port of entry, as it was listed. Whatever, all I know is that in two plus days, Lil Raggi will be on USA soil, or port water.

 

ChefTyGuy,

I found your Athens Highway going up the Chesapeake Bay towards Baltimore. Maybe he's lost and thinks that he's headed for Georgia. Just kidding, but it is headed up the Chesapeake Bay. Getting closer for you. Me, still no sight of the Tirranna.

 

I'm excited for all of you who are so close ... Meanwhile I am bobbing in the English Channel, I think...

 

TIRRANNA Still not available.

 

Anyone know how to find a lost ship that is suppose to dock at Baltimore POA at 02:00 UTC? This has me stumped. Three years ago, I could follow that ship from Nova Scotia to New York harbor, down past New Jersey into the The Chesapeake Bay. It was 10 hours up the Chesapeake, so I don't know what UTC means, but even at EDT it ain't going to make that 02:00 time.
