All Aboard INTEGRITY! (Departs 6/28 to NY/MD/SC/GA)

Rolo's VIN was added at 2AM this morning to the cargo manifest. Let the boarding party begin, anyone else on the Inegrity?

Hey there! My MC has been on the dock since Monday, June 23, but as of this evening, I continue to receive the same message from WW that they do not have my Whiskey on the vessel. ("No tracking information avaiable for this cargo ID"). I am looking to pick it up in Nashville, and imagine that the US port will be Charleston. Any thoughts?

I'm in the same boat Cynthia -- some of these folks were built after our cars, but they're getting on this boat.

Hey guys, I had the same problem with my Clubman a couple of weeks ago. It ended up being on a K-Line ship that had left port several days earlier. You will have to contact your MA and ask what ship you are on. K-Line vessels are a bit harder to keep up with but there is a thread here in First Gear that will give you a couple of different options. The OL wont be able to help very much now that you are out of Oxford.

Cynthia, I bought my car from MINI of Nashville also. I ordered on 05/16. When did you order and who was your MA?

I sent an email to Nashville Mini yesterday to try to get a status update, but haven't heard back yet. Sometimes they have more info than OL.

Richey is my MA from Mini of Nashville. He actually saw my troubles in negotiating with another place and sought me out. Very helpful and has been patient with me through a couple of changes I've made to my dealer options.

Hello all!

After getting a L-o-n-g production time for a Clubman from my Mini of St. Louis MA, I called around to dealers that I was willing to drive to from St. Louis. After giving up that bit of a dream for a Clubman just now, I wisely decided to get another Cooper.
Timing mattered - (I'm a doctoral student, so once mid August rolls around, no time!) I have a 2004 British Green Cooper that I painstakingly ordered with every detail but alas, it is going with our daughter to school this August.

I was very fortunate to find the Pepper White MC with Black top/mirrors that I wanted, with many (!) extras, like Carbon Leather with the white piping, cream liner, chrome interior,... and all the packages (except the Conv. pkg was ordered item-by-item leaving out the garage door opener and dimming-mirrors.) Very snazzy indeed!

Long story (sort-of) short, John Monk from Nashville had this one ordered but not yet sold. I snagged it immediately.

My MC (Whiskey => Jack for short)...you know, the old' Tennessee connection... was born on June 21, on the dock June 23, and has been sitting there ever since.

No luck connecting with John in Nashville today - but I surmise my Jack either (1) got lucky earlier this week and is aboard the Emden or Caribbean Highway and sailing our way or (2) is loading today on the Integrity.

Let me know if any of you get word about which vessel your mini will be crossing the pond on - it looks like we'll be in good company!

BTW - your signature and graphics are Super!
Cynthia

2008 Cooper S -

Thanks for the update! I might be doing wrong something because I cannot really find how to get that type of info.

As of now (4pm CST) when I type my VIN into WW cargo tracking (I tried both Auto and RoRo) I continue to receive the same message - 'No tracking information is available for the Cargo ID you entered' I'll just have to be patient awhile longer.

Thanks again for the info -
Cynthia

I got that info by typing in my vin number. Your MINI might be on a different shipping line.

I am north of Philly. I purchased mine through OTTO'S MINI. I was just watching online and the ship is in the English Channel.

What web site/info needed to track the ship?

I shopped at Otto's, bought from Main Line.

The pain of this wait is exquisite!

Here is a time lapse history page where you can see the Integrity movements as it pushes off from England, you need to zoom in once or twice towards South Hampton to see the icon.

http://www.ais-live.co.uk/AIS%20Live/maphistory.html

The best I could tell, the Integrity departed between 1030PM and 1130PM on 6/28.

Current position (or last reported) can be picked up by this website:

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/index.html

Search by ship name: INTEGRITY or call sign: WDC6925

Looks like the position may only update periodically. If someone has a better site, please post.
