Where did it show up? My car is through production and sitting at the port.

Is there a VIN on the Owner's Lounge site?

My car will be coming through South Carolina. But how do you find out if your car is on a certain ship?? I've tried that Wallenius Wilhemsen Logistics page and put my VIN on there, but it's saying that no tracking info is available for that number.

Thanks. I figured that's where I would find it, but wasn't totally positive.

Is your car on the Elektra? Hope you get it soon!

When I called yesterday, Live ASKMINI guy Sonny told me that my car was probably "already loaded on ship" and had probably been one of the first ones on the boat. He didn't have a ship name or any other info. Maybe it was a fiction designed to appease me. No info from the cargo tracker on W&W or from the Owner's Lounge. Patience is a virtue, and quite an overrated one!

I am on the Elektra as well. Due into NYC on the 23rd. Does anyone know how many days after that until it hits the dealer? I only have to go from NYC port to a dealer on Long Island, 20 miles from NYC. I know everyone is as anxious as I am, but I don't think I am going to track the Elektra across the Atlantic. I'll check it on the 22nd to see if it is close.

iamhollyb,

My VIN showed up on the WWL auto tracking page about 4 days after it left the factory. It won't show until customs clears the car and hands it over to WWL. When your VIN shows up, you'll get a page showing the voyage number, schedule, and the BOOKING NUMBER.

Click on the voyage number and you'll see the arrival and departure date estimates for ports of call.

Copy the Booking Number and put it into the WWL booking number search box and you'll see all the VINs loaded on the ship and time of loading.

I'm going thru South Carolina too. The next ship that travels between Southampton and South Carolina is the Faust. It arrives in Southampton on 2/17 and departs later that same day. Our Minis probably won't show on the WW site until they load on Sunday.

Arrival is scheduled for 2/28 in South Carolina.

Like many, my VIN never showed up on WWL site. I am on one of the K-line vessels. I believe it's the K-line Caribbean Highway since its departure date is about the time that Ask Mini Rep. stated in started transit. Today, the Online status at the Lounge shows "en route" I'll be contacting my MA to see if I can confirm the ship name. Getting closer

I'll as well be watching OXTOX's posts as well... From what I have read your car should clear the port in less than a week (count on 5 days), since your dealership is close like ours it will be laoded and delivered same day.

After that it depends on your dealership and what they have to do to it. I have a lot of crap going into mine at the dealership, probably enough to delay well over a week....but due to the rocky road I have had to follow to get to this point I suspect they will move it quickly.

You will more than likely be picking up your car the first week in March. Again, earlier or later in the week depending on what the dealership has to do to it.

OXTOX....perhaps I'll see you over in Princeton !

I have never denied that it is exciting to see the progress of your car as it goes from being ordered to production to enroute. As long as the Elektra doesn't hit an iceberg or major storm, I can wait another week or two.
