Looks like Askmini is saying that my car is loading today -- no further info. They say the dealer owns the car now so they didn't have any other info other than that it is being loaded today.

It doesn't track on the WW site, so it must be the other carrier.

How are you getting info from ASK-MINI? When I called they told me their tracking system is down and will be down all day.

Call them back... I called three times before I got someone who would "try" to see if the system was back up... lo and behold it was.

I'm released to carrier, but as far as the ASK MINI folks can see, I haven't made it to Southampton yet.

Live body at Mini told me I'm at the port....no surprise there. I think I need to do something else until the 30th when the boat is loaded and leaves Southampton........ At least my paint is drying in Great Britain rather than on the open seas. I mean, that's good for something...right??

Looks like the Courage is underway.

Far left on the web cam in the distance. If you move the map down the port, you'll see the Courage has left port.

To be truthful, your paint was dried at the factory. Baked in even. I'm sure your MINIs are doing donuts at the dock though!

I don't think MINIs are taught to swim at the factory, so let's hope not!
