I sure don't want to open up a debate with the right to [car] life supporters. . You know, should a mother have the right to cancel an unwanted production before a car goes into the paint shop??

Well, you'uns, I'm obviously not week 26, because nothing has happened. My MA is lost, and ASK MINI is saying 28.

Not. Happy.

Good luck!

How did you find out?

I keep trying 2wglobal, but when I type my last 7 characters of VIN, still says not found.

I presume that you include the letters as well as numbers, correct?

Undine - Destination Port Hueneme on July 23rd

The MINI is booked on the Undine leaving Southampton 6/30/08, Arriving in Port Hueneme on July 23. That's exactly one month from build day. I am pleased that I can track this ship.

OWG - you rock! I am a bit confused though. Here is the info:


------
Cargo Status History

Vessel: INTEGRITY
Port of origin :SOUTHAMPTON
Voyage : EB826-ITG
Port of Destination :NEW YORK, NY

This information includes the status, status dates, and location of cargoes during transit with WWL and does not indicate availability of cargoes for delivery. StatusPortTime(dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm)

RECEIVED AT TERMINALSOUTHAMPTON 26/06/2008 19:14
BOOKED SOUTHAMPTON 07/05/2008 09:20
----

What confuses me is the 07/05/2008 date. Is this the arrival date? I sure hope so!

Good luck to all!

Ed

UK dates are different than US.

It goes DAy/ Month/year

So It was received at terminal on June 26th.

A booking by BMW to reserve a spot on the ship was done on May 7th.

Congrats to everyone who is already on a ship!

How many others are sitting at the port like me??? So far, been at the port 5 days. Since I'm in Texas, I believe I'll be on a K-Line ship, and the next one doesn't leave until Jul. 5. I'm trying very hard to be patient, but sitting for over a week at port makes no sense to me!

Sigh...anyone else possibly waiting for the Sierra Nevada Highway departing on Jul. 5?

Mrs Zug, Try the Undine again, it stops in Galveston before Port Hueneme. I checked a lot of times before my VIN number showed up as booked. Cathie

Thanks, Cathie. I do still check WW for my VIN at least once daily. I haven't heard anything official, but it seems like most Texas deliveries come into the Charleston, SC port and use K-Line. I got excited when I saw the Galveston stop, as that's only a few hours from where I live, but I don't think there is a VDC in Galveston.
