About 120 more minis were added to the Trianon! I'm two vin #'s away errr. 2 and a 1/2 hrs left before scheduled departure...

 

Recheck!! Trianon is staying another day!!! New Departure: 11/03/2008 18:00

 

Hi Gang. New to NAM, New to MINI.

My LiB/S MCS Clubman should be boarding the Trianon too (hopefully) - no bill of lading number yet.

Ordered 2/16 (Long Beach MINI), Started 3/2, Born 3/5, Booking number showed up 3/8

 

Double post.... sorry

 

GOOD NEWS here today too!! Just talked to ASKMINI and they tell me I'm "EN ROUTE" so does the lounge site... I guess I expected to see something change on the WW site first but it's been a bit messed up since I got bumped on the 19th. Now I'm assuming I'm on the Courage as expected... but I guess I might be on another carrier all together and perhaps closer to home then expected... so I'm a bit confused at the moment but I'll trust my car knows where she going

 

Size, glad to hear you're En Route! The OL site still says I'm awaiting transport, so I would think chances are good that your MINI is already on the ocean by now, on an earlier boat.


Welcome tigermann, I ordered on 2-16 as well. Been to Long Beach...back in the 80's, my dad lived there.

 

I'm in the same situation mellotron... Hoping to get on last minute! Both the Trianon and Courage leave tomorrow!

 

Supposedly on the Trianon too!

Yeah!!

 

If that isn't enough, right now the Southampton port site shows Liberty departing for NY tomorrow as well! Man this site is constantly changing the time/dates for ships, those Brits are almost as OCD about keeping their schedule up-to-date as I am about checking it:

Hope you make it - keeping my fingers crossed for ya! I started showing up booked on the WW site on 3-7, don't know how typical that is though.

Yay caulyne! Wow what a long few weeks it has been since we ordered, seems like ages ago...

Just read in mc2, that a great way to go for stopping power was to try Carbotech brake pads. Anybody have any experience in that department? The mag. recommended not doing a big brake kit, just go with the pads. I did a little research and found out that a mini won 2 national championships in the SCCA on Carbotechs. If mc2 recommended, I thought it might be a good place to start???.

 

might want to ask that in a performance related thread mike...

 

Waaa! Still no ship assignment/booking #!

 

I'll bet you're booked on a K-Line boat...

 

How do you know you're coming into Baltimore? My mini is going to Sterling, Va and i was curious if it was going to come by boat to balt or by truck all the way from NY.

 

Hey Mellotron you wouldn't happen to know what all the hyrogliphics mean in the Shipping_Movement Tables would you??
Anyone else??
I'm getting antsy 'cause today was the day the TRIANON was supposed to leave. There has to be more than just me wondering.

 

RJ,

The Trianon got pushed back a day, won't be leaving until tomorrow, no worries!

 

Roger that k3nt...I was just wondering if by being able to read the Tables we could decifer when it is docking, how many MINIs will climb aboard and of course the most important when will it get to Port Hueneme, CA!!

 

http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do
shows the scheduled ports for the voyage. Baltimore is the first landing listed after leaving Southampton, followed by Charleston SC. I don't know at which point they come off the boat, but I was under the impression that they underwent some type of processing/stateside check before continuing to your dealer.

 

ALL POINTS BULLETIN for those waiting for the TRIANON, she is enroute to Southampton...L@@KY!!!

Nah I don't know what all the Southampton port schedule heiroglyphs mean but can make enough of a guess. The only useful info there is when your ship departs Southampton, mainly useful because they update it more often than the WW site updates theirs. Right now it says the Trianon departs tomorrow PM, no exact time specified.

You can use the WW site to find when its supposed to get to the USA, on that page after you enter your VIN, click on the Voyage Number. That shows your ship's schedule. To see how many other MINIs, you need your WW booking number...plug that into their 'Track by...Booking Number' link on the same page, and voila - a list of other VINs, all minis I presume.

 

Mell I'm surprised that the WW sight hasn't blocked my VIN I'm checking it THAT frequently!!
Ps. see my last post!!

 

Yeah same here, heheh, when it finally showed up as booked I was like

wow I never had any luck with that site, I only used the sailwx one.

 

Sleep...Who needs Sleep!!?? I'm going to be checking on my Baby every hour! She just has to get on the TRIANON...I'm going NUTS with all this waiting!!!

 

geez! it's not even at Southampton yet?>????
