thanks guys!

you've all been helpful :D

 

hey astroblack, im with you too! oh man this is going to be painful. so its 20 days we have to wait eh?

 

I see from your other posts you have found your ship? Mine is on the Courage.

 

yeah mine is on idoles ... or something like that.. sounds very exotic.. sorry dont feel like looking up the real spelling of the name.. just got back home from work and tired. now im doing my ecology paper. lol

school is the only way for me to make time go by faster.

 

Yep, this waiting thing is no fun.

 

If your ship is the Islode, it is scheduled to depart Southampton at 10am (PST) today. The link below is for the Isolde thread.

Looks like the next WW line ship out with destination Charleston is the Integrity. Should leave Southhampton UK October 27th and arrive Charleston November 10th.
I guess I will be on this ship unless some other line runs the same route and picks it up earlier!?
VIN does not show up yet at WW site as valid.

thanks buddy. so 6 to 8 weeks now till the big day eh?

woot!

hmm i think my first mods are those tubings from alta... ooooOoOo orrrr new wheels... or maybe some suspension mods... the choices.... the choices..

haha

 

Isolde is scheduled to arrive at Port Hueneme on 11/12/07. Then thru the VDC, on a transport truck to the bay area. Time at the VDC will depend on if you have any dealer items to be installed.
But average time from VDC to bay area dealers is 4 weeks..... figure 5 to be safe.

 

My vin is also not showing up on the WW site. Does this only happen just before loading or does it mean I am a K-line ship? There seems to be a gap between ships leaving for South Carolina. Does anyone know whether cars going to Saint Louis also go through the VDC in New Jersey? Dealer installs are done at the VDC??

 

I think the VIN only shows up on the WW tracking AUTO just prior to the ship arriving in Southampton - I think it is about 48 hours prior - but I am sure others on this forum have more specific information. I hope to see my VIN show up soon and hope any of you waiting find a spot.

My MINI finished production on 10-13 and showed up on the WW on 10-19 and the ship left on 10-20. Not sure if that is typical, but that was how mine showed up. (and I was checking the WW every day at least 4 times to see if it was there)

 

As like most other things in tracking, there is no "standard" as to when VIN #s will show on the WW site. It is "usually 24-48 hours prior to a ships arrival at port.

 

Thanks!
I guess I can stop checking for the next 2-3 days then....

well... maybe just once a day just in case!

The COURAGE is about halfway across the pond now. I just wish they could skip NY and Baltimore and go straight to Charleston!

I ordered my PW arches from Way, and now just need to finalize choices on coilovers, rear sway bar, rear control arms, intake, exhaust, wheels, etc.

Maybe I don't want it to get here that soon after all!

 

A Good mystery ship running at high speed would be useful. Arrgh. Tick tock tick tock

 

I second that. I am on the Courage headed to Charleston as well. Skip NY and Baltimore!!!

 

so you know how alta has their new chip out now?

im going insane because i want to put my name on the list to order but.... i have no car........

::sigh::

lol

 

My Mini was finished October 18th but did not make the Courage out of Southampton.... It is still sitting on the dock apparently- My MA left me a message that it was waiting for transport. The VIN is not recognized yet by WW website/auto cargo. I guess only an update from my MA will tell me if it was going on a K line or if it is going anywhere soon.... Oh well.... will keep trying WW site.

Two back to back ships are coming. One leaving the 28th and the other the 30th. Can't believe we won't make one of them!!!

 

Well... it is now the 27th... no WW site VIN recognized yet. Checking later.....
TOPLABDOG - Did your VIN show up yet?

Steve

 

No vin yet and I e-mailed my MA. H said no ship assignment yet. Getting a little nervous....Hope we don't get put on a much latter ship!! Anyone know how they chose the lucky ones?

 

My last one took about 8 weeks total from order to delivery. You can see a wide range of delivery times from the forum but I think 8 weeks is about average. It might be a little longer this time though!

Time to focus on other things for awhile.

 

I agree time to focus on something else. We must be on a K-line ship since the folks at ASK MINI seem to think cars don't sit very long at the docks.

Here is the K line ships we might be on:
The WESTERN HIGHWAY eft the 19th and arrives in CHARLESTON on Oct 31

CARIBBEAN HIGHWAY left the 26th and arrives in CHARLESTON on Nov 8th.

The EMDEN leaves on NOV 2 and arrives in CHARLESTON on Nov 15th.

Hopefully My MA will confirm one of these Ships
