Thanks for the support. I just sold my BMW 330Ci and am driving my wife's Mercury Milan. While there is nothing wrong with this vehicle, I miss having a fun car.

If it was on a different ship, wouldn't 1-866-ask-mini tell me it was on a vessel already?

On the other hand, this apparently goes to Jacksonville, FL which is essentially where I would be picking my car up!

 

Once your car reaches Southampton and is ready to be shipped, Ask Mini loses track of it. They won't have any information about the ship or whether it's left the port.

Your dealer may have some information, but since my car was on a WW vessel, I had more information than the dealer did.

 

Apparently, K-line only serves the east coast. So, for the west coast, it's WW, unless there's a third shipper.

 

Thanks for the above.

I think I will call my dealer tomorrow and see if it's already on its way, or if he knows anything.

 

Okay, you were right.

My car is in transit and due to get to Charleston SC on the 23rd. My MA figures about 1 week or so to get to Jax, FL then a little time to get prepped for delivery, so I should get it the first week of Sept.

So for everyone that can't find their car on the WW website: it might well be on its way!

(Ordered July 25th)

 

^^ Ditto

I called my MA and he told me that my mcs is on a KLine ship named Emden and will also arrive on the 23rd. So aschueler i guess our minis are shipmates.

Oh by the way you can track your mini at the kline site. You just need your Bill of Lading # (BL) that you can get from your MA. The tracking info for my mcs didnt come up but you should at least give it a try. http://app2.kline.com/GctApp/search?id=tracker

 

I too am in Week 32. I went old school with British Racing Green and a white roof. Does anyone know what shipping companies MINI uses for US west coast?

 

Aschueler and WRXdriver,

Glad to see that your Mini's are on the water. Mine should be at the port on 08/23/2007 as well. It looks like that first week of September will be a pretty exciting time for us week 32er's. Only about two more weeks of waiting!

 

You all know that I am in the military and there is lot of red tape when buying a car tax free over here in Germany. My car arrived last week and I got to see it sitting, waiting for me to drive it off. There is a catch, always right? I had to wait for the Bill of sale and the car to clear customs. Guess what?............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .....................


It came today.....

Now I have to wait for Peter (guy who schedules delivery) to schedule delivery. Friday is the latest. Wednesday the earliest.

I have new 18" Konig Unknown wheels on the way. That should make it look sharp......






Its almost complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

^^^Nice! Congrats. Thats got to be the hardest to wait for.

 

Congrats eurokoke!! I'm *so* excited for you!!!

The day is almost here!!

 

Eurokoke,

I am glad your wait is almost over. We expect pictures by Friday at the latest. Any plans to take that new Mini for a spin on the Ring?

 

Holls, wrx, demapples;

Thanks for your support.

As far as the ring......maybe it is hard to get away from work. Military life has a high ops tempo.

I will try to get the pics asap.... I think Thursday will be my day..

 

who still doesnt have shipping info besides me?

 

I'm with you.

 

Me neither!

 

Although the Mini Owner's Lounge doesn't yet reflect it, the WW site shows my car left Southampton yesterday on the "Boheme".
At last!

 

I am a Week 32'r. My car is on the Boheme which is pictured here: http://www.walleniuslines.com/doc_up...1184313424.pdf

 

If you don't already have this info here it is:

Call sign for Boheme = SIVY

At sea tracking :http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml

Her last activity on sailwx was 7/31/07 at 06:00 so you may get lucky and be able to track her voyage, just depends if the Captain uses his weather reporting system or not.

 

Thanks for the link. It beats going to Panama to watch it go through the canal!

 

still nothin' and I sold my car yesterday.

 

just heard from my MA. my AB/AB MCS is on a boat that will arrive in SC on 8/30! apparently, the car left the UK on the 17th. K-Line shows a vessel called "YM Milano' that left the 17th and should arrive in Charelston on the 30th.

i'm assuming a week at the VDC getting the JCW aero kit, and another week to get to STL and I should be in my MCS by late the 2nd week of September.

 

Glad to hear your mini is on the way.

 

I get my ride tomorrow at 1400 (2 p.m. for the civilians)

I can't wait...... 16 hours and counting....

I think I am on the same boat as you. I have an AB/AB MCS on the way as well. I think we are on the FRISIA though not the "YM Milano". The FRISIA is a roll on/roll off (RO/RO) cargo ship that is due in to Charleston on the 30th. The Milano is a container ship and is unlikely to have any autos as cargo. My MINI was done on 10 August and at the port on the 13th. It just missed the EMDEN. My best guess is I should pick up my MINI on or about 10 Sept. Please bear in mind this is just an educated guess on my part since the mini tacker still shows my car awaiting transport.
