The TRICOLOR leaves 12/14/02

My estimated delivery date was in Feb, but it now it looking better. My MC was born on 12/06/02 and is now waiting at the terminal. It is booked on the TRICOLOR but waitlisted for an earlier boat. The TRICOLOR arrives in Oxnard on 1/8/03......

They have moved alot of the Mini's scheduled for transportation on this vessel from wait listed to "BOOKED".... There are a total of 556 cars awaiting transporting on this vessel in Southhampton.

I am sure they are not all Mini's......

MCS is Tricolor booked and received. I too had a delivery date of February. Any idea what a more accurate delivery date is?

mini-rolls · Dec 13th, 2002, 09:26 PM

My dealer in WA stated that my 'Mini' should be on the way to him within 7 days of arrival. He thinks I should be driving by the 25th....Just need to figure time to your dealer.

Sounds like she was coming INTO Southampton in which case she wouldn't have loaded the MINIs yet.

Hopefully.

What incedibly bad luck.

At least no-one was hurt.

sounds like it was lucky it was late

BBC news on the radio said that it had 30 million pounds worth of BMWs, Saabs and Volvos on board and was on its way to pick up more cars (MINIS?) in the UK before heading for the USA.

Yikes, what a waste!

I feel sorry for you guys that were booked on. The good news is that no MINIs got wet. The bad news is there could be a delay while they book an alternative slot on another ship

Has Mini-rolls seen this yet, what a let down

Yes I have been following the tragic events of TRICOLOR. What a shock just happy my MINI was not on board. See new tread about mini shipment.
