Thinking positive, happy thoughts. My baby is waiting for transport to the ship (as of this morning). Michelle at Otto's Mini said that it would take approx 2 weeks to get to the dealership (near Philadelphia) once the ship leaves the dock in Southhampton. So I'm thinking that I MAY get my new GoGreen go cart by my birthday on June 6th. Thinking positive!

 

I'm having the very same "please get here for my birthday" thoughts! June 20th here!

 

My first Mini was built on 5/16 and is headed to Port Hueneme as well. Anyone figured out which ship our West Coast Minis will be on? Hopefully our cars are on WW so that we can track them!

 

Me too - June 28th for me! Have a little 3k vacation trip planned for the end of June to break it in

 

How do you know June 28 for sure?

I've got a 4th of July break-in trip scheduled for my mini as well

 

Oops, I meant my bday is the 28th. As far as getting it on time, I'm thinking it's looking pretty good right now(fingers crossed)

 

First time posting a reply...

My MCS has a production date of May 14th. According to Miniusa it arrived at Southampton on the 15th and is "awaiting transport". Mine is going to Port Hueneme, CA. I am getting fustrated that my VIN doesn't show up on WW's website under auto cargo tracking. There is a vessel departing on 5/21 and I have no idea if it's on it.

Are there other car carriers besides WW that go to Port Hueneme, CA

I've never been so anxious about any car as I am with this Mini...

Well, if anyone has any info I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

 

Not to rain on anyone's parade here, but...

Awating transport is TO Southampton, not FROM Southampton.

Following production, the cars sit in the lot by the factory until a transport train takes them from Oxford to Southampton. That is "awaiting transport". Once your Mini leaves the factory, Mini becomes pretty non-specific about its whereabouts.

W&W, on the other hand is quite specific. About the time they arrive at the port you will start to see them "Booked" - the information on the car has been transmitted to W&W. Then W&W will show the car "Received at Terminal". Paperwork (including Customs) takes a little time and then it is ready for it's ship. When it is actually onboard you will see "Loaded on Vessel".

Good Luck! Been there...

 

saenz74,
I have also been checking the WW site...my MCS was finished on the 13th and is "at the port awaiting a shipping vessel" according to automated AskMini. The VIN does not show up as cargo - yet - but I'm hoping for the May 21st ship, too. My plan is to keep checking the VIN on WW site...hopefully in the next couple days I'll quit getting the red message of doom: "No tracking information is available for the Cargo ID you entered".

 

girlandhermini,

I just double checked with the automated "askmini" and my Mini is also at the port awaiting a vessel. I kind of have a feeling it's not going on the vessel on the 21st but rather the next one in early June. You would think that there would be something on the WW site considering the vessel is arriving and leaving on the 21st which is 3 days from now....

 

Mine was finished on the 12th and just showed up on the WW site this morning.
Rec. and booked on the 15th
Scheduled for SOUTHAMPTON 20/05/2008 BRUNSWICK, GA 03/06/2008 FAUST EA820-FAT

Yeehaa! This morning my baby showed up as 'received at terminal' and booked on vessel Courage leaving Southampton TODAY and due New York on May 28th (clicking on the voyage ID shows the ship schedule). If it is accurate, then it is very possible I'll have my new girl by June 6th. I can already feel the grin starting to build...

 

Very cool minibeth & n2hcky! Mine isn't showing up yet. Some of the VIN numbers n2hcky listed are soooooo close to mine.....arrgh

 

There it is put an asterick on the vin # WMWMM33558TP71334..... Awesome

So how long do we think? The WW site is down at the moment. I want a ship name. Anyone know? I'm in Florida, so i think it gets shipped to South Carolina...

 

Looks like Brunswick GA is the last stop for this ship.
My MA said they have just started recently coming into Brunswick. He didn't know much about it. May be a new VDC.

 

Your VIN is the 71334? I don't see the asterisk in n2hcky's list. I believe the asterisk means that it's been "wait listed", and is not confirmed to be on that ship yet.

There's a pretty good overview of the tracking process over on Mini2, and more information with pictures around too.

The ship's name is the Faust:

 

I don't have a clue what the * is for.
I just copy/paste from the WW site.
I did find a cool way to track the ship if you have google earth.

My MCS was completed on 16May2008. I have nothing but the dreaded message of doom still on the WW website. Anyone confirmed on the Boheme?

...Regards,

MCS, PW/PW, LSD, DSC, Premium, Convenience, Rear fog, white turn signals

 

Yes, please. If anyone gets booked on the Boheme let us know! I'm checking about every hour...yup, on an hourly basis.

 

oh ok, great i'm glad there isn't an asterisk then. So does anyone know what ship to expect my mini on? my dealer is in South fl.....

 

Me too, although I'm a bit skeptical that those of us with 5/16 build dates will make it to the port in time for the Boheme's departure on 5/21. If we had only ordered our Minis a few days earlier...

FYI, it looks like there are several individuals with a 5/7 build date whom are already confirmed on the Boheme... https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=139632

 

Got up this morning, entered the booking number first. I noticed there were 524 records. Yesterday there were 82 records. I click on Auto Cargo, place my VIN# in very carefully and then slowly move the mouse to the Track Button. Booking Number is GBSOU638666

........Click,...................BOHEMEan Rhapsody

Fair winds and following seas to all MINIS and their owners.

 

This morning: Loaded on Vessel! Yay!

 

Ahhh...sweet relief! Is there an emoticon for that? And yes, I realize that "booked" doesn't guarantee a ride...but it's one step closer...and I'll take it!

According to the WW site the Boheme is currently in Zeebrugge, Belgium - leaving today for Southampton. Quick stop to gobble up some minis...then toodle off across the water.

Happiness...

Can you pick yours out. It is from google earth....not sure how outdated.....I am sure a few weeks.
But cool anyway.
