Right k3nt!! Does your VIN show up on the WW site?? If so, there are 187 vehicles waiting to board the TRIANON. Here's hoping you catch the boat too!!

Caulyne what does AskMINI say??
When I called on Thursday they said it was in Transit to the docks. On Friday I was automatically transfered to a 'live' person, they were only able to tell me that Molly no longer showed up in their system, you can imagine how I felt thinking she was LOST! But I kept checking the WW website and lo and behold her VIN showed up as being at the Terminal awaiting to board the TRIANON!!!
Anyway here's hoping your MINI makes it aboard...I'll save a Chaise Lounge for you and maybe we can grab a bite to eat together, the Buffets should be FANTASTIC!!

I have my production number and my VIN number. Should I have a serial number too?

No ldybug128 your VIN for all intensive purposes is your Serial Number. If you are trying to track your MINI on the WW site all you need is the VIN once it shows up there you will see a Booking # attached. Search the Booking # and you will be able to see how many other MINIs will be aboard your vessel as well.

Happy Motoring!!!

SizeDoesMatter,

My Booking# is GBSOU618634 - it shows a group of 100 vehicles which were 'RECEIVED AT TERMINAL' on 3-5 or 3-6.

I really hope yours makes it onto the Courage!

Yep, me too... I should know within the next 48 hours... seems like mine and 49 others have been waiting for an awful long time on the docks... but all and all they said it would take 6 weeks when I ordered it and low and behold that's about what it will take if it makes it on the Courage!

hope this helps my car was completed on the 1st. there was no change in the owners lounge until 3-6 and thats when it said enroute. It arrived at he dock 3-4@9:30 a.m. and was loaded @ 1:30. If I might suggest going to the ww site (shipping co) I think you'll find the latest and I believe in most cases the(your) greatest news.Caulyne you will make it on the 10th LOL

I'm happy for all you folks!

Wish I could say something new & wonderful as well. Watson's been 'awaiting a shipping vessel assignment' since Wednesday and nothing as yet. I'm afraid I may not get out until the 15th...

Don't know if we'd really see anything anyways... but I went searching a bit and found the original source of the cam on the port's site. http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/webcams.htm.

Anyone know if they will load more on the boat the same day they leave??

Trianon's departure time is 18:00

That's what I noticed with COURAGE last night...looks like they leave some wiggle room in their schedule, because now it is scheduled to depart on 3/11. Hope that gives time for Sboord & Size to get on!

I had good news this morning, and started a thread for the COURAGE.
