Yeah I know, it could get bumped off and booked on the next boat like some others have. I'm just excited that mine has finally shown up on the WW site!

I have Voyage Number EB810-COG - when I click on it I get a Voyage Details page listing the ports it has been to recently and will be stopping at in the near future...there is a 1-day layover in Baltimore MD on 3/19 - 3/20, between Southampton and Charleston.

Edit: keeping my fingers crossed that neither of us misses this one, so we can remain shipmates and not have to wait on another boat!

RJ, I am in Washington as well. Looks like my new Mini is on the Trianon too.
Did you order from Northwest? I got mine from Rasmussen in Portland, it will be interesting to see which arrives first.

Happy Motoring.

Glad to have you aboard!!

I've been booked on the Courage for a long time, I think since 2/25... but what's curious is my Voyage Number, it's still set at EB752-COG which is the Voyage number for Courage's December trip... I sure hope that a paper work snofu doesn't keep my car sitting... my last status is 2/25/2008, 17:17, Returned to Shipper? I guess I kind of thought that all this would change once Courage started this new Voyage

My mini ordered 2/9/08

Hi Everyone. I ordered my Mini S on Feb 9th. As of just this morning, my Owners Lounge changed to "At Distribution center." Since i placed my order, ever step in OL has taken about a week. It was about a week that my mini was "on order", then a week before scheduled for production, etc. I've been averaging every Friday that it changes. So, while i was not surprised to check this morning (Friday), i was still very excited! Anyone know how long my car wiwll be at the distribution center?

That doesn't sound good! Is there anything the ASK-MINI people can do, like put a call in to WW and ask what the he** is going on? I feel for ya, I am already going nuts as it is, and mine's gone smoothly so far.

About a week. Sorry. Couldn't resist. Of course, YMMV, but it is usually 2-5 days.

Given these folks have shipped millions of cars... I'm going to give them the benefit of doubt and assume that I'll be on the Courage this Tuesday... if my status doesn't change on or near the 10th then I'm going to get real concerned, it seems the 10th is a key date for a lot of us... here's hoping we all find ourselves on a ship

This is interesting...

When I go here http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...okingSearch.do and enter my Booking Number GBSOU610233A I see that it's associated with a block of 50 cars... all were sent back to the shipper on 2/25 and all now are hopefully booked on the Courage... I've been a little concerned by the old Voyage Number EB752-COG appearing for my MINI but I guess I have a lot of company.... anyone else have this Booking Number?

Hi! I am Week 11...so still in Production, but since you guys just left I thought I would ask for some advice...

I see a lot of people know when their car is in the body shop or in the paint shop. Is there a place that I can go to find that out? Thanks for the help! (And your patience is motivation for me!)

I think the only way to get in-production information is to call the Ask MINI line... the fun seems to really begin post production and watching your car try to get on a ship.... have you retrieved your Serial Number?

Sorry Size...mine is different GBSOU618638. I didn't know that it actually meant anything 'til I went to the WW site and looked.
Everyone check theirs there is bound to be some matches.
