What week is mine? I ordered on 11/19 and it reached southhampton on 11/30. It is aboard the faust right now scheduled to reach NY on 12/15. Am anxiously waiting for it.

What year is your car? I'm on the Faust too and mine's an 08', but considering the fact that yours reached Southhampton on the 30th, I'd think it's either a week 47 or week 48 (haven't heard of any week 48s tho). Either way, our cars are partying it up somewhere in the Atlantic at this very moment ...

 

It is an 07'. So you are prob right. A week 48 or 47. You are right. They are prob partying in the atlantic. Huhooo. The wait is killing me though.

 

You and me both brutha

(and the rest of the 49ers I'm sure )

 

My car completed production on 12/4, but unfortunately it did not get on the FAUST which left on 12/5. It is instead leaving on 12/8 on the FREEDOM. The Freedom will go straight to NY from Southhampton.

BTW, there is no week 48. The 2008 models started production in week 48, but completed week 49. Mine started on 11/28. Did anyone here complete before 12/2 with a 2008 model?

 

Anyone have an idea how much time it will take for it to get from the ny port to the dealer in jersey(prestige)?? FAUST will arrive at NY on th 15th. Hoping to get the car before 22nd, so I can take the 24th off and motor all weekend till 25th.

 

Actually it says Faust will be arriving on the 14th and leaving on the 15th. Though I know it's physically very close, it'll probably have to go through customs and such - figure a few days more? Hoping to get mine before Xmas as well ...

Never in my life have I tracked a package with such obsession ... but then again I guess this ain't no ordinary package

 

The same here. Obsession is the word. I searched high and low for the call sign of FAUST. It is SLKQ. Found out a few interesting details about faust. It is relatively new. it is the largest car carrier in sweden etc:
http://www.walleniuslines.com/doc_upload/MVFaust.pdf . But cant track it though. The callsign is showing the last known location as August 30th. Hope someone updates that.

 

My Mini will be complete Saturday. I'm holding out hope that I might make it to the port of exit in time to make the Freedom?

That would be sweet!

How do we know that they are waiting for the Freedom and not already on a K-Line ship that can't be tracked? From what I've read, K-Line shipments sometimes don't even register as having left the port of exit in Southampton.

 

Woohoo! I'm booked on the TASCO, arriving on the west coast on New Years Eve.

 

Hooyah, mee too!

 

It is unlikely it'll make it. That ship is leaving on 12/8 and Oxford is not that close to Southhampton. My car was completed before the Faust left, but it took the next ship.

 

Russr, how do you know your car will be on the Freedom? I realize that is the next WW ship, but there are also K-Line ships that carry MINIs.

 

I put my VIN in the auto cargo tracking section of the WW site and it listed it as being on the FREEDOM.

 

Those of you on the FREEDOM scheduled to leave on 12/8, the ship just pulled into the Southhampton docks. http://www.ais-live.co.uk/AIS%20Live...uthampton.html

 

So because my car is not tracking and has been there since Monday, it is probably on a K-Line vessel?

 

If your car completed production Monday and is still not showing up on the WW site, it probably has already gotten on the K-line and is probably on its way already. Check out some of the threads relating to K-Line. There might be one or two things you can do to confirm it is on the K-line.

 

If it helps, mine was there since last Thursday and only showed up today.

Nice find, russr.
Here's more. If, when at that site, you click on satellite view and zoom on the position of the Freedom---green marker----you can see a couple of rows of MINI's on the docks to the right. There are other cars ,as well, but the MINI's are clearly distinguishable. Although not in realtime, it's easy to imagine our own MINI's waiting there ready to be loaded---or maybe already loaded by this time.

 

The Freedom has been delayed for some reason. It's now leaving Southampton until tomorrow now. Something about needing to change docks.

Whoever has the Solid NFR look for the NFR support group, they're on the hunt for a solid NFR "in the wild" and you'll be the first. I saw one at the dealership but they're not counting that. I have a NFR with a black top coming over on the Freedom.

 

I've ordered a solid NFR, and unfortunately, I have no idea where it is currently located. It has said "awaiting transport" since the 4th. If it is on a K-Line ship, it could be on its way over. I do know that it is not scheduled to ship on the FREEDOM. I have not been successful in discovering any way to determine if a car is on a K-Line ship. Frustrated...

 

I noticed the FREEDOM hasn't left yet, but how do you know it is delayed and needs to change docks? My car now shows that it is loaded on the vessel at the WW tracking site.

 

the freedom is on its way!!

 

I guess I belong in this group.
Ordered a basic cooper s in pepper white with a limited slip 11/30
Finished the build process 12/8
Now the long wait.
Anyone have any idea how long it takes to get to the west coast after production?
