    Screw MINI. My Roadster finished production days ago, but still sits in Southampton. Others finished production the same time and left England today. I'm not even assigned a ship. The MINI Owner's Lounge status just changed to "awaiting transport". When the wholly ineffective MINI OL reflects your correct status, you know things are bad. With any luck, I'll transition from extreme irritation to pure apathy. Forgive my rant, my patience is thin.

    The waiting is a killer. Try 866-ask-mini or better yet call your motoring advisor to check in their system. The on line info lags the current status. For example, on line said my car was waiting at the port when in fact it was on the water already.

    Two days ago, my MA and ASK MINI reported the Roadster "awaiting transport" which, for once, coincides with today's MINI Owner's Lounge information. It wouldn't bother me so much if other cars produced simultaneously weren't already crossing the Atlantic. I'm happy for those guys and very disappointed with my own situation. I entered my VIN at the WW shipping site numerous times, but still come up "no records found". Thanks for the suggestions any way.

    trust me...your MA will know when it gets on the boat and which one before the OL or ask mini...thats what happened with me...it didnt actually say it was en route until it pulled out of southampton and it doesnt even say what boat...only the MA would know the particulars because you may not have a WW boat...it may get on a K-Line

    I will be posting lots of pictures. The dealer has been instructed NOT to touch the car. I will be spending Saturday and Sunday detailing the car.

    I'm curious about VDC processing time. My '14 S Roadster ships from Southampton tomorrow and arrives in Baltimore 10/3. The VDC is about one hour's drive from the MINI dealership.

    Your MINI arrived Wednesday and you're taking delivery Saturday morning. Do you know how long it took from port arrival to actually appear at your dealership? I'm trying to work out the logistics for my Roadster's arrival.

    it depends on what priority your MINI is...if its a customer ordered/purchased its a Priority 1 Car so it will be first in line at the VDC and provided on if any extra's have to be put on if i remember they can shoot through a Pri-1 in 2-3 days
