Me either. But I was looking today, and there are ships leaving on the 23rd and 24th. I would 'assume' that mine will probably be on one of those three vessels.

I'm with you Desert Sand...Mine finished on the 16th - on it's way to the dock today. So hopefully can clear customs and be on one of those next ships.

Well I'm almost positive that I'm on a K-Line ship. Still nothing coming up on WW for my VIN and I'm sure it shouldn't be taking this long.

Unfortunately I haven't heard back from my MA so I can't check to see exactly what ship it's on (if any) so I can start obsessively stalking it's progress across the ocean.

Making progress!
Interesting though that the WW status doesn't update.

Am I correct in assuming that you (or I) can't check our VIN against the
k-line manifest like we can with WW?

My car was completed on 2/14 also and seems to be in transportation limbo.

hey everyone i understand the anticipation it felt like forever for my mini to come ( like years ). On a side note though, on my status it said the mini just hit our shores and some how in 2 days my dealership called and my car was ready for pick up. So the computer tracking does lag a bit . So keep your fingers crossed and ur baby will be home soon.

Well I got a bit more status news ... apparently my Mini didn't even arrive at the port of exit until Monday. So it would have missed the Faust anyway. Guess you had a fast truck driver VelvetFoot

As far as I know, if it's on K-Line, we can't actually check the VIN ourselves. However, our MA should know exactly what ship it is on which means that we can track it using the SailX site. Hopefully my MA gets back with me soon here.

K-line too?

I think I'm K-Line too. ASK MINI tells me that it's done - made it to the port. I now need to get the rest of my Info from my MA as it's now in their inventory. So I'll be calling my MA tomorrow - she's off today.

Well, I am in an interesting situation, IMO....

A few days ago, the owners lounge had me awaiting transportation and I have been checking the WW page with my VIN to see if it was scheduled. So far, nothing on the WW page.

Today, I checked the owners lounge, it shows EN ROUTE. I called ASKMINI, and the message also shows enroute. Uh, if it is not on WW, did a K-Line vessel leave in the last couple of days??

WHERE IS MY CAR!?!?!?!

Desert_Sand: a K-Line vessel departed on the 17th at the same time as the Faust so I would guess that yours is on there if your status is "En Route" Give your MA a phone call and he/she should be able to tell you exactly what ship.

ASK-MINI is telling me that my mini is at the port of exit awaiting a vessel with no confirmed shipping information. So, looks like it will be on either a WW or K-Line vessel departing this weekend.

Can the days possibly go by any slower ... lol

Aw, Ignigena, I'm sorry your mini hasn't caught a ship yet. At least you're not on the west coast! You'll still probably get yours before I get mine.

Leveling out on NYC's latitude?
Perhaps she was avoiding icebergs.

My car finally made it onto a ship.

It's on the Manon, still in the English Channel, but at sea.

Now I remember what it was like to watch the NORAD tracking of Santa on Christmas Eve.

TAG!!!

Well, I found out where mine is...

He managed to get on a K-Line ship that is scheduled to be in Charleston on the 28th of this month. I talked to the stealership today, and was told it would be here on the 5th of March....

...woohoooooooo....I can see that light at the end of the tunnel...just hope that it is not a train!!!

This is the longest six weeks I have had to go through in a while....I don't know how you folks do it for 100 days plus!!!

Yay! I'm on a ship too! Looks like all our cars are on ships now!

I'm on the Patriot scheduled to depart Southampton on the 25th and arrive in New York on the 5th of March.

Hoping to pick up on the 17th of March ... dealer said the Aero kit should take a day or two to install at the dealership along with the sport stripes ... just depends if it takes more than a week to get from New York to Chicago.

Woohoo! It feels good to know where I'm at after being in limbo the past few days.

Oh well ... actually it's going to Charleston, SC not NY ... so it won't be on shore until the 10th instead of the 5th

I still don't know if I'm on a ship yet or not. WW web site has no information and my MA hasn't gotten back to me yet.
