It’s been a long time since the last MINI USA website tracking update, and I really hope that the car has been en route for a while already! It seems a curious coincidence that right after my comments yesterday, the website finally updates – but at least it has now updated!

With the introduction of the new 2016 MINI Clubman (and of course the cancellation of the old model a long time ago), there was a huge jump in Clubman sales for the last month of 2015:
Sadly, none of them were my new car which, according to the MINI USA Owner’s Lounge, remains “awaiting transport“! I find it very hard to believe that a newly built car has been sitting at the Southampton docks for more than two weeks, but there’s no other information available – even calling 1-866-ASK-MINI gave me nothing, since their computers were down today.
The VIN doesn’t show on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen tracking website which means either it IS still at the docks, or it’s sailing with a different company (like K Line) that doesn’t provide any tracking.
10,000 black miles
It’s taken a long time, more than 1-1/2 years, to get to 10,000 miles in Black Knight, but it happened today.
Working from home means lots less driving, and being unable to sit in the car for a few months last year (and missing MINI Takes The States) also resulted in lower mileage – but at least I got there before I finish owning this car!
