nope thats it... based on the previous reports, it seems like the patriot is good at reporting.. meaning good for us.

oh, just as a CYA, that was my best guess for a callsign. I hope that is the correct PATRIOT. when i looked up "patriot", there was like 15..lol

chap can you check to make sure that is the correct callsign?

 

i looked at the same page you did I think, there must have been around 25 different Patriots. The one we are looking at was the only one that had a map tracking thing (i think).

I did zoom way out and take a look at it's previous trip, it went from southampton to NY and back, so it looks like that is the correct ship.

 

cool, seems we came to the same conclusion. So either we are both idiots, or both really smart.. haha

 

You guys made it on a good ship. My Mini was on the Patriot's last load and they (the Minis) had a good Time!!!

 

Yeah Altoid is really enjoying his estate room, and the complimentary bar is fantastic. Swimming pool is a touch small though from what I understand, but the hot tube is huge haha.

 

Beer? You got beer? STEWARD!!! I WANT THE STEWARD!!!

 

My first post on NAM.
My Coop completed production last Friday 5/30 and has been reported as hanging out awaiting transport ever since. When I check the WW site I keep getting "No tracking information is available for the Cargo ID you entered". Is this a bad sign - is my Cooper a slacker? Lazy maybe? I'm in Raleigh, NC and figured I would catch one of the first East Coast ships relatively soon. I contacted my MA and they said my car was scheduled for production 6/1 (which I can verify is wrong - as ASK-MINI walked me through each daily update on production).
- Lost at Sea (or maybe in port!!!)

 

Yours finished up about the same time mine did, so I'd be surprised if you weren't on the Patriot but who knows how they schedule ships...

 

no idea my friend, no idea. The wonderful world of BMW MINI production is actually a crazy nonsense type of place. It makes little to no sense to those not involved

 

look what I found...

The only ships we can track are owned by WW. Your MINI could have gotten on a K-line ship. If that is the case, then there is no way to track it unfortunately. There are a number of folks wondering right now. So I wouldnt get too worried.

Your MA(salesman) has more to search on and might know where your MINI is. Shot him/her and email or call to find out.

No report from the PATRIOT so far. But based on the last trip it looks like it takes a bit away from shore before they do.
Nice pic find Chap!

 

not sure how accurate this is...as usual.. however I found the ny port schedules.

Based on an update of May 28, the schedule says arriving on the 17th, one day late at 6am. Which makes sense since it got to South Hampton one day late..

WW site still says arriving on the 16th.

Bad copy/paste job. Click that link and you will see it better.

 

wooo hoo.. Patriot made its first GPS weather report..

hey.... look the Patriot is.... well.... right there actually, just chillin in the Atlantic

 

^^

 

2 more Weather posts. Patriot is moving along great!

 

looks sweet, should be here soon, and I can't wait

 

Did Altoid end up making the Patriot? If so, there may be hope for me too, since we were born on the same day!

I can't verify my VIN on the w-w site, so I figure I'm a-waitin' for a K-line now?

Either way, its just a matter of a couple of weeks now !!!!

You wanna tell me the bill of lading #, so I can look through the list?

 

yeah I am on the Patriot, if you are not on the W&W site, then you are not on the Patriot, but possibly and probably a K-line. I showed up on the W&W website pretty much a few hours after the car was born, showing me that is was going to get on the ship.

 

another dot!!

 

4 days in, 5 to go, and we are looking pretty good.

 

5? Supposed to arrive on the 16th. NJ harbor says it will get there at 6am on the 17th, so thats 6 or 7 days..

 

my car is still showing up as awaiting transport on the Owners Lounge haha. It is way behind.

 

mine too... lol
