Here's a website that I found to track Caribbean Highway.

Last update was four days ago though :(

 

Congrats to all the other Caribbean Highway cruisers! It's good to know that we're no longer languishing on the British docks. Like I said, I would have been very surprised if you were not on that boat.

The wait is starting to get tolerable again: nowing that things are at least moving in the right direction. Last week was the longest week I've had in a long while.

You and me both Merlin. It was like I was 8 again and waiting that week before Christmas.

Looks like I should plan on sometime the week of the 15th to make the trip to Nashville.

 

I think I'm just going to go sleep... someone wake me on the 8th

 

It's not over till it's over. The trucking company that takes your car from the VDC to the dealer holds the last card..........you may luck out and get on a truck right away or you may have to wait a few extra days......

 

My VDC is probably 15 minutes away from the dealer. Wonder if they'd let me take delivery from there...

 

I didn't realize you were that close. So are you going to be down at the port to watch the Caribbean Highway come in?

 

They say they put it on a rail to get it over to Nashville. That might take a few days.

 

I was wondering about that.

My MA said that they sold over 70 cars the week that I ordered my MINI. I wasn't sure but it just seemed too many to truck over from SC.
Even considering they're MINIs, you can still only fit so many onto a car carrier truck.

I just hope all our cars made it without any injury :(

 

Our Sidewalk has been waiting to board a ship since June 20. At least that is all the info I can find right now.

 

If you can name your car Sidewalk, then I'm going to tell my wife I can name mine 'Tradition'.


Edit for clarification: she had the idea I needed to name it a proper name like 'joe' or 'frank' or 'apple' etc.

 

Doubtfully. There's no VDC at Charleston. All of the MINIs travel to the BMW plant in Spartanburg, SC for their VDC checkup, then out to the dealers, and my dealer is in Greenville, SC.

If it was the Emden, I could've went down to see it come in on the 5th, but alas, I'll be at work next week.

 

Don't even think that!

 

This is where mine is now......

 

When you can be in nearly any country in the world within 24 hours, and the Internet makes the world even smaller than ever, it is amazing to me that it takes this long to cross the ocean. What did they do, like an inch a day?!?

Well, according to the automated phone, I'm in transit! Must've made the one on Saturday, I suppose.

 

Me, too! I finally updated to Enroute. It only took 6 days for the OL Web site to figure out that I'm not in England anymore.

Doncha love it? And it's the final proof that my tracking widget works properly! YAY!

 

You might be further along than you think. My MA says I got on the boat on the 26th, and yet this morning was the first time I've seen 'En Route'

 

Mine shows me still at the dock :( my 1st port is today!!!!!!

 

The auto system said in transit......only a week and 1 day late :(

 

What I don't understand, seems like I have been in the same time line with everybody else (completed on the 17th) but my 'en route' has shown since Saturday. I am thinking ours may get into port around July 3...at least I am hoping! And I am watching the weather channel for the tropic updates...

 

I just got a text from my MA and he said that mine still shows at the dock. I hope everyone that made it on a boat has a safe journey. Enjoy those MINI's when you get them.
