I found that schedule as well, the K-Line Emden gets into Charleston on 2/10. I guess all that matters is that we get on a ship and start heading across the Atlantic.

What do you mean mean by care packages. I haven't heard of that. I'd like to ask my MA too!!

I haven't gotten anything either. I'd ask my MA but he went into the hospital a week after ordering my car. Now I can't even get miffed at him.

My sales rep said that I would receive a few small gifts in the mail from Mini while I waited for my order. He said the same thing to another person who ordered a little before me. Neither of has received anything. It is my guess that the sales rep was mistaken. Oh well, hopefully I will receive the actual car in a few more weeks.

Looks like I missed the boat leaving on 1/30. Here's hoping I make it on the one leaving on 2/2.

I posted it previously in this thread:

FYI, I found the schedule on K-line's webpage, http://www.kline.com/, by clicking on schedules tab, then selecting 'RoRo/car carrier' and looking at the excel spreadsheet.

Well, the OL still hasn't updated, but I just called ASK-MINI and I'm at the dock waiting for a vessel. Hopefully I can get on one of the ships leaving in the next few days with you guys.

anyone with 'en route' status or any updates? still nothing on ours, but i've heard there's a delay with the updating of the OL.... so that doesn't mean it hasn't shipped.

Nothing yet here. Called ask mini and i'm still "waiting at the port". The OL is pretty useless as it has been at least a few days behind ask mini.

Still waiting "paitently"

Well, I thought the "first" ship wasn't supposed to leave until tomm. anyway? My MA said the wait at port could be up to two weeks in a worst case scenario.

Up to 2 weeks? haha, my fiance and I's MCS's are so past that... day 15 at the port for us.

i'm getting so impatient and want to hear something else instead of 'waiting at the port' for the past 2 weeks.

By what black art did you use to determine this?

Here's the page for the schedule.

http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...countryList.do

Just select United Kingdom in the left box, then USA in the right. Then click Search. On the next page, select South Hampton in the left box and Charleston, SC on the right. Then click Search again.

I was actually trying to figure out how he knows his car is booked on that vessel leaving on the 4th. I didn't think ASK MINI knew until it was loaded.

Just checked the 2wglobal site for my vin and it's still not listed, perhaps I won't be leaving this time after all.
