Which of course gets to the matter of how effective is the Mini tracking really? I mean I know this is all a game (that I'm willing to play) tracking a car being made and delivered. But it seems as though after being born, the tracking seems to be somewhat uninformative.

 

True. We only have little tidbits of info, and sometimes even what we have is misleading. Of course, if Google Maps had live feeds and could zoom in just a little more, I swear I could get a screen-cap of my MINI sitting on the docks right now!

In the end, I'm just having fun, feeding my imagination, and learning a little about the process of how MINIs get into the hands of their owners.

Agreed.

 

We made it onto the BOHEME!

 

"Three little words, oh what I’d give for that wonderful phrase."

LOADED ON VESSEL

Whoopeeeee!

gl

 

Jealousy here.
But congrats!

 

Still not on a WW ship, in fact they haven't updated the loading info on any of the ships as far as I can tell.
At the dealer right now and my MA just have the car awaiting shipping but he thinks it could be loaded already. Hopefully I have more info before I leave the dealer today.

 

well i am officially awaiting transport. hopefully my MINI can get on one of these ships soon. now i am very excited, hopefully i will be able to drive her very soon.

 

I've been complete for a few days with no other updates...looks like i wont be making it on the Faust after all :(

 

LOADED ON VESSEL SOUTHAMPTON 20/08/2007 14:11

I hope my Mini took it's dramamine.. rough seas ahead.. YoHo!

 

black pearl how did you find that info? did you call ask mini?

 

You can get your VIN when you track your order at Mini owners lounge. Then go to http://www.2wglobal.com/, then under customer center, click on, cargo tracking, then click on auto tracking. Then enter your VIN. It will give you updates on your shipment

 

thanks for the info. no info as of yet but i have me fingers crossed. hopefully it gets shipped soon

 

Don't give up just yet! I didn't get listed on the BOHEME until midday on the day the ship arrived in SH.

Hang in there 'til Tues. evening, then check with your MA on Wed.

Good luck!

I'm not listed on a WW ship yet but the ships don't seem to have loaded anything else on since friday so I still have plenty of hope.

 

I just called and even tho the OL still says production, the people at Mini said its been at the port since sunday...so i'm still full of hope that it makes it on the ship out tomm.

 

UPDATED TO AWAITING TRANSPORT DOES THAT MEAN IT WILL BE HERE SOON?

 

Well......start reading through some of the threads here. It means your gem is produced but waiting for a boat home. Some of us have been waiting for a while. Good luck!

 

maybe they will all be on one boat

 

The FAUST is heading into Southampton now (see the map here), and should dock within a couple of hours.

Good luck to the East Coasters!

The FAUST is docked and over 200 additional cars have already been booked on it bound for New York, and some have already been loaded. (I only found the booking number for cars bound for New York; I suspect there is another booking number for cars bound for Charelston.)

Anyone from PW33 get booked yet?

Never been so happy to see this

I am also booked on the FOUST!!! Hope we can track her in Ais! Good Luck to everyone who isn't on a boat yet!

 

Mine was finished 8/14 and still no info. I thought the wait would be easie r since this isn't my first MINI, but noooooo!
