It took a month on the Rhea Leader for my red one from the time it left port until I was able to pick it up in CO. I dont think I had a delay at the Panama Canal like some others have had. From port to pick up was only about a week.I've been at port since 5/6 for CA. My money's on the Grand Cosmo tomorrow. 7 come 11, baby needs new shoes!
I wonder how many miles we'll need to drive to pay back our emissions toll just to get to the US! I don't really want to know....

Not sure if you have the trial for satellite tracking, but here's it's current position:

Fleetmon's estimates say it won't arrive till the 27th, but the ship is still saying the 26th.

Grand cosmo at Southampton, hoping for all of our Minis to get onboard, fingers crossed.
If the boat I am on happens to transit the Panama Canal at a reasonable hour I am hoping to catch it on the webcams and watch it pass through the locks.Mine just got unloaded at Port Hueneme! I actually had a lot of fun tracking the boat. After the boat went through the Panama canal it was often close enough to the coast that I could track it's location via the free version of MarineTraffic. The two stops at Long Beach and San Diego before getting to Port Hueneme were quick, in at 5am, out by 5pm. I guess that's the benefit of a drive on/off vessel.
Here's to hoping it makes it up to Marin within a week!
Grand Cosmo left in last two hours. Mine is still in port on my garage. posting this so we can see how long until it updates - assuming my little guy took its dramamine and is on the boat.

If your trial is still valid, would you mind posting where the DONINGTON is? There are at least three of us following that boat. Thanks!Just wanted to give an update for anyone on the Olympian Highway. It's 736nm away from Baltimore.

It's great you got such a favorable allocation! If you like driving, you won't regret spending this money (especially because the feds let you recover $7,500 of the price). As the MINI slogan goes, "Life is too short to drive boring cars."Well I finally pulled the trigger.. the dealer slid me into an allocation right before production because a customer cancelled. Hope I don't regret my build or choices..or spending this money LOL... but anyway thanks for building the exel spreadsheet kind of fun to watch this (Hopefully I did it right on the spreadsheet).
I... might be the first Utah at least on this site.![]()
