My MINI that was completed on 12/12/07 is booked to board the PATRIOT. It will depart the UK tomorrow and dock in S.C. on the 29th. I hope this helps other Week 50 MINI trackers!

PATRIOT Dock Dates
NYC 12/23
Baltimore 12/26
Charleston 12/29

 

My car arrived at the port on 12/11, but I don't have any information on whether it has left the port yet. I hope it made it on this ship as well.

 

Have you tried entering your VIN on the ship website? http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto

Enter your VIN there...if it is on that ship line, your information should appear.

 

This really helps. I just checked the shipping site and my mini is on the same ship.

 

Is yours docking in Charleston, ienglish? It says the ship should arrive there on the 29th of Dec.

 

It is docking in Charleston which is a little weird considering I live in Florida. Doesn't the ship go to Georgia after Charleston??

 

Yeah, but I don't think there's a VDC in Georgia....most MINIs dock in NYC (I believe), South Carolina, or California. I would rest assured that it's docking in South Carolina because that's where the BMW factory is in the US. I'm sure your MINI will get some TLC in South Carolina.

 

Thanks for the link! Looks like my car is on there and bound for Charleston.

 

BobsElise - Where did you purchase yours? Mine is on the Patriot as well. I purchased mine from Flow in Winston-Salem.

 

I also purchased from Flow. I guess we'll be taking delivery around the same time.

 

Thanks for the link. mine is on a different ship though, the Madame Butterfly, since its going to port hueneme, CA.

 

Looks like it is going to be 7 more days until our mini's get to the VDC in SC.

 

Hey I think my Mini is also on this ship. Its now showing that it will arrive in Charleston on the 31st.

 

Now that the ship docked in NYC, it's not trackable anymore on Sail WX...does anyone else know how to track our ship?

 

Our cars are now on their way to the final stop in Charleston!

 

The Charleston stop has now been pushed back to 01/02/08.

 

...... Are you serious!!! This sucks

 

Ship arrived in Charleston on the 31st of January. My car however wasnt discharged until 1/2/08 at 16:05. Hopefully with no damage, so I can expect delivery next week.

 

I am getting DSC and xenon lights, all of which I think are installed at the VDC. Can I ask where you are picking up your car, chrisj?

 

Mine was also discharged at 16:05 today

 

Houston, Texas.

 

I wonder how long it is going to take before my mini gets to Florida?? Mine was discharged on 1/2/08 at 16:05.

 

I'm curious about the same thing, ienglish. Mine is coming to San Antonio, TX, but I wonder if my options (DSC and Xenon) will be put on at the VDC.

 

I'm 99.9% sure DSC & Xenons are factory installed items.
A guy on another thread reordered to get xenons when his boat was 1 day out. If they where VDC installed they probably would have done it then instead of a reorder.

 

Thanks, acebutt!
