Welcome to MINI2 Astropup!

I'm waiting for a blk/blk MCS too... Spoke to the dealer today - should be here any day!! Pulling my hair out with excitement, ordered it on Jan 26th and now have only days to go....

xnetco · Apr 11th, 2004, 03:23 PM

Cool! Which dealer did you order it from?

My dealer is CenturyMini in Greenville, SC just 20 minutes from the Mini check-in at the BMW plant.

xnetco · Apr 12th, 2004, 10:04 AM

That's a bonus then! What was your original estimated date?

298 · Apr 12th, 2004, 04:07 PM

Hey gang!

If you were fortunate enough to get loaded onto the Independence, she left Southhampton for Halifax NS yesterday.

Here is a really cool link if you're interested in knowing where your baby is since last call in of weather report.

http://www.oceanweather.com/data/

The Independence call sign is WRYG. If you click on the north atlantic big box...then click on Marine Observations (notice the call sign WRYG just south west of the southern tip of UK.) You can follow her all the way across the pond. Pretty cool huh? Hope its warm on the ship!

How about you? Any gifts for the new family member yet??

Hi, Craig -

As far as the shopping, yes, I've been doing a little bit so far... I have my Whalen (Wings #2 design), and black leather shift boot and e-brake boot. next on the list are an outdoor car cover, cubby box or pouch, and probably boot box. Then, maybe a Euro parcel shelf and a glove box organizer, we'll see... but I am noticing that while my current car (Saab 9-3 Viggen) is much larger, it really doesn't have a ton of places to stash things in the cockpit area, so maybe I won't feel the need to add the parcel shelf.

Happy waiting!

Christina

Im from the UK and tried doing that on the US website too and had no luck either. I think the car has to be ordered form the US for it to work.

digitaldave · Apr 13th, 2004, 08:54 PM

I spoke to the dealer today, and they had some unexpected news for me... My Mini was supposed to arrive with them on April 30th, but apparently it's now down to be there on April 23rd!!!

. I just wish I didn't have to wait an extra week or so for the dealer prep! Now, I need to draw up a list of tunes to burn on to CD for that first drive...

Dave.

Blitzen is sitting in Southampton now with his big shiney white thumb up and ready to hitch a ride next week! I hope the boat that went bump does not bump him back!

All smiles today!

Craig

Craig - Have you tracked Blitzen lately? I just went to the WW site and found out my MINI has been switched from the Jingu Maru to the Hual Triton, which departed TODAY from Southampton, and is scheduled to arrive in New York on 4/21, saving almost a week! I am hoping that Blitzen made the switch, too... Anyone else on the Hual Triton?

Cheers,
Christina

pocket_rocket · Apr 14th, 2004, 03:02 AM

Holy Smokes! I just logged on to tell you the good news and you beat me to the punch!

Oh my gosh I am running around like a mad man gathering towels and boiling water.. here have a cigar! Oh you don't smoke.. hehe neither do I but I am so excited I may start LOL...

Wow... this is all happening so fast..

I pray we can have it by end of month! Guess I should order those rally lights now so they can install before delivery?

Just found out from my dealer today that my MCS will be a week 17 production. Can everyone please hold hands and have happy thoughts for Mr & Mrs MINI when they come together and conceive this Monday 19 April.

Hopefully the one week gestation period will run smoothly.

I'm so excited ... and I just can't hide it!

pocket_rocket · Apr 15th, 2004, 02:06 AM

Congrats and guess what.. things are going ahead of schedule for some reason.
Heres wishing you a speedy delivery

minigolf · Apr 15th, 2004, 02:09 AM

Excellent ... although the only down side to an earlier than expected delivery is I need to sell my Golf.

minEman · Apr 15th, 2004, 08:22 AM

Disaster has struck!!

My S has arrived at the garage a few days early, has had its PDI checks and is waiting to be cleaned today ready for collection tomorrow morning. spoke to my insurance company, no problems there except theres a post strike in Oxford at the moment and they cant send me my cover note so mini wont let me have my car!

Think im going to cry

xnetco · Apr 15th, 2004, 08:27 AM

Nightmare that's terrible! You need to get your insurance doc sorted out way in advance. I've had my cover note for 2 weeks!!

tridome · Apr 15th, 2004, 07:16 PM

Just got word that "Hagrid" (yes WannaMini I too chose a character from Harry Potter) was received at the Southampton Terminal today. It has been scheduled to board the Maersk Teal for the departure date of 4/20/04 to arrive in New York on 4/28/04. Won't be to long now. The dealer will still need time to install the JCW but once it's done I'll be Flying.......

I imagine my MCS/brg will be joining yours as its just finished its production process yesterday. Have you had any luck tracking yours on the Maersk site?

Since estimated production dates have been know to ping-pong, it's probably less stressful to wait until your MINI has been assigned a VIN number and has started production. Then you can click Auto at WW Cargo Tracking and use your MINI's entire 17 digits (alphanumeric) VIN as the Cargo ID (it used to work with only the last 7 characters of the VIN). Tracking will display a Cargo Status History, showing your MINI as one or more of the following: http://213.31.205.37/GLWebApps.AppTracking
