Just wanted to find out who else is riding the Falstaff to NY right now. It left port Monday and should be in NY on the 21st.

I haven't been able to find our ship on any of the weather tracking sites. The call sign is SLCO I believe...anyone else tracking it?

This is so much fun finally having my baby on its way. Definitely worth the wait.

Our Cooper is on the Falstaff also. I think there were slightly more than 300 MINIs loaded on board.

I've checked a few times trying to pick up Falstaff's location too, but haven't seen her yet. If I do get a sighting, I'll post a heads up here.

Hi all,

Our Mini's are all together having a party and looking forward to docking and making it to the dealership and meeting there new owners. Are they just as excited as we are????

Have not tried to track the boat (? don't know how to) but lets just say it is getting really close.

I took another test drive yesterday from a different dealer and it was great. I was with was my son's father in-law, a transplated English man living in Texas. He said his first car was a mini and wanted to see the new cars.

He loves the new car and is trying to find a way to buy one, but presently he has too many kids in college.

Well, first thing first.

Good luck to all and our cars will be here soon.

Take care,
Ron

My Cooper S is in there. I'm hoping for a smooth turn around through the VPC, so that we can motor up to the GLen the second weekend in Sept.

I have not found the call sign either. Anyway, it will be in New York on Wednesday.

When I checked the WW site early this morning, none of the Falstaff's cars was shown as being discharged.

Perhaps it was delayed enroute?

With all the cars stacked up from the Hudson Leader, perhaps there is simply no room on the dock!

Best wishes to everyone for a speedy clearance through the VPC and a timely journey to the dealers.

I just talked to MINI and they said that it probably hasn't arrived yet. They show it as scheduled to arrive yesterday but that is all the info they have. The woman helping me said to check back later today or tomorrow.

I guess our MINIs were having too much fun on their cruise...they just had to extend it a day.

We are so close now!

Just checked the WW site and I am "discharged" and "delivered from"!!!

catalyst · Aug 22nd, 2002, 09:53 PM

Discharged as of 9:00 pm 8/21.

Delivered from (wherever) as of 8:00 a.m. 8/22.

Now we face the dreaded "bottleneck"! LOL.

Good to be on U.S. soil, and everything has gone according to schedule (at least for me) so I'm OK with having to put up with (some) delays getting through the VPC.

Starting to get *very* stoked.

The WW site and I am "discharged" and "delivered from" but Mini USA rep says the ship is still at sea due in tomorrow or so. I questioned him saying that the WW site says car is unloaded and delivered. The rep said his information is real time and he could not comment on the accuracy of the WW site.

Anyone else get this kind of info?
