So.. for all you guys here's the timeline:

3/6 ordered
4/1 started production
4/5 ended production
4/6 loaded on vessel
4/22 arrived at port
4/26 arrived at VPC
4/29 arrived at dealer

Not bad... 8 weeks total. That's for an east coast port (U.S.) Texas delivery

That pretty good 298!
The whole process takes about twice as long to Australia!

Hey all my MC was finished in April 29, and was transported to the port on the same day. I am booked on the Takasago, scheduled to sail Sunday may 2, and arrive in New York, on May 10. Anyone else booked on this ship?? Can't wait, till its get to the dealer, he does still have to install a whole bunch of aftermarket, stuff but I can call and bug him to get it done once its there lol. Hope all of you who are being united with your MINIs over this weekend, have a fabulous time, with great weather, and hope to hear from all of you to see how it went. Talk to you all soon.

She has left, she has left...

I am sailing, I am sailing,
Home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

I am flying, I am flying,
Like a bird 'cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
To be with you, to be free.

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro' the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.

Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.

We are sailing, we are sailing,
Home again 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

Oh lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh lord.

how do I know if my car definitely made it on the ship. I was booked on the Taksago, and recieved at the terminal on 4/29. Ship was set to sail Southampton, today and it did, yet my car still says only up to recieved at terminal. Is this common, was thinking perhaps the site wasn't updated. Getting a little nervous. Let me know if anyone has had this experience. Thanks

Hmm... give it some time maybe.

Mine arrived at terminal and was 'loaded on vessel' all at the same time. Ship left just after that.

Try again a bit later.

Got my fingers crossed for your Fdlove.

298, go for a spin around the block for me too! Enjoy mate.

ScottyB · May 3rd, 2004, 12:17 PM

Have you heard anything Fdlove?

Has the status changed?

chawki33 · May 3rd, 2004, 07:14 PM

Just curious if anyone on the Maersk Teal has heard from their dealer about picking up thier MINI yet. Called mine over the weekend and he doesn't seem to willing to help. Waiting for a BRG/W MCS

Fdlove91101 · May 3rd, 2004, 08:19 PM

pocket_rocket · May 3rd, 2004, 08:39 PM

Fdlove91101 · May 3rd, 2004, 09:00 PM

Was your Mini loaded on the first vessel it was booked for ? My min was booked, and the ship came and went, but it still says that has only been recieved at terminal. Congrats on your new mini, lots of luck, cant wait to see pics

pocket_rocket · May 3rd, 2004, 09:07 PM

Was that the original ship it was booked on or was it booked and then put on another ship i was booked on april 26 for the Takasago, it was recieved at terminal on the 29, ship left on May 2, and it still says that its been recieved at terminal. I'm thinking perhaps it didnt get on the ship it was booked for, so im starting to get a little nervous. Guess well just have to see

tridome · May 3rd, 2004, 09:42 PM

Hi All,
Just got a call from the dealer today, MY MCS IS AT THE DEALER!!!

The wifes MCS should be right behind in a day or two. Boy will she be P.I.S.S.E.D.
that mine has come in first, after all we did originaly go out to just buy one for her.

Well after all; my MCS needs some time to have the JCW installed.... Looks like real soon we will have to hire a limo to take us to the dealer to pick up our new babies!!

WOW; what a trip, how often do we get to see two MCS on the road one right after the other?

chawki33 · May 3rd, 2004, 10:53 PM

Gotta get on the phone with my dealer, mine must be in then too. I need my MINI

pocket_rocket · May 3rd, 2004, 10:57 PM

Good luck chawki.. your dealer should be able to tell you if it has been released to be shipped etc..
