VIN on the WW site doesn't reveal any info yet, so probably not assigned to a ship yet.

I've been chasing possible ships coming out of Southhampton to Charleston, SC. I've found three possiblities:
The Emden - Departing April 29, Arriving May 9
The Patriot - Departing May 1, Arriving May 17
The Tasco - Departing May 9, Arriving May 21
I know which I'd prefer to be on. The last two are W&W ships so you can do the VIN tracking thing. The Emden is a K-line ship so no VIN tracking.

sdavid01, you'll want to go to the miniusa site and get yourself set up in the owners lounge. Initially, the info about your MINI will be wrong. Once you see that it is correct, you are officially in the system. Then you can call 1-866-ASK-MINI and get a more accurate status than the website gives you. For more info, see the sticky thread in this forum on tracking your MINI.

Thanks for the info! It looks like I was just a little impatient and expecting WW to update its site over the weekend!! My MINI is going to sail on the FIDELIO which leaves tomorrow and should arrive in NYC on May 8!!! My MA said it would take about a week after that to get the car in PA!!! Anyone else joining me on the ship?? It looks like it also makes stops in Baltimore and Brunswick, GA....not SC though....

I don't think my baby's gonna make it onto the Fidelio. Hopefully the next one. Who do I need to speak to to make sure the bar has all the fixins (and lots of it) for Oil Slicks, Fast Laps, Quick Fixes, Turbo Loopy Juice, Need for Speed, and High Speed (yes they are all drinks - go to www.drinknation.com).

Just heard from my MA, Jorge. My MINI has arrived at the port. Seems he was found trying to sneek on a ship without waiting for his boarding pass so the port police are trying to find out what ship he's supposed to be on. This must happen pretty regularly because the port police are used to this kind of behavior from MINIs. My MA said he heard about a gang of MINI's tossing a Rolls Royce over the side so they could sneek in 4 extra MINIs. Devious little guys. My MA's gonna check again tomorrow for a ship update.

How exciting...our MINI's are starting to come off the line! I have to wait till Friday though. 
As you find out what ship you're on, please post it here. As information comes in I've been adding it to "the list". Once I start getting ships, I'll break it out by ship.
Here is what I have so far. I wish we could format tables in this forum...it would make the whole process a lot easier!
