Looks like the Asian Vision after refueling is mocking for position/turn for her running start to the canal! Isn't the Pacific side lower then the Atlantic?.. In which case it's all down hill now!

 

My car is on the Integrity too. Looks to be near Prince Edward Island as of 00:00 on 10/24. Does it really take 4.5 days to reach Baltimore from there?

Hey, at least you guys on the East Coast have a frequent schedule. If you live on the West Coast, as I do, and miss a ship, it's two weeks until the next one!

 

There's also the TOPEKA, leaving Southampton on the 24th, the Don Juan on the 30th, and the BISHU HIGHWAY also on the 30th. Don't know if any of those stop at Baltimore, as I'm looking for Brunswick. The TOPEKA is not scheduled to stop in Brunswick

 

The Asian Vision is in the canal now! I caught a few photos. Luckily I woke up just as the boat was in the locks and went to go check my computer. She is in the Gatun lake now.

 

At looking at her itinerary, it appear to be reaching the port on Nov 1, a day early. It could be the she won't start the unload process until the 2nd! Feeling better knowning that our new vehicular units are on this side on the world!

 

I am waiting on my 2012 Cooper S Countryman. It finally went into route yesterday so its somewhere in the middle of the ocean. It was supposed to be here on Halloween but now i think it will be here Nov 8th. Is there anyone else that ordered a countryman on Oct. 1st? Its arriving in Brunswick, GA Is anyone else getting a No records found when the put their vin in on the ww site for track and trace?

 

My Countryman is on the Altair Leader out in the Atlantic. MINI contracted with NYK lines to bring over a group of Countrymans to the West Coast as none of the regular lines had scheduled ships. (OL lists my car as awaiting transport and my MA has not had very good intel since the car is not on a normal MINI line.) Don't know where it is docking, but yours might be on it. Or one of the other non-normal lines in use now. Since it is not a WW ship, tracking won't work. Several recent ships have not been WW or K-line.

 

The Integrity left Southampton on 10/17 and is due in Baltimore on 10/28

 

Called Ask MINI this morning - they said my MINI's birthday was October 21, 2011 ! Also is released to carrier and at the port of exit as of today. My VIN doesn't get a hit on the WW tracking site, but the TOPEKA is in-port in Southampton today however it doesn't stop in Brunswick GA so will prolly sit for a few days. Narrowing down to BISHU HIGHWAY on 29th (a K-Line so can't confirm VIN on it) , or DON JUAN or INDEPENDENCE II on the 30th. All 3 go to Brunswick GA arriving between 11/9 to 11/19.

 

I was looking through the upcoming departures from Southampton to the east coast.
Depart 10/24 WW ship PARSIFAL arrival in Baltimore 11/02
Depart 10/29 WW ship TAMPA arrival in Baltimore 10/07
Depart 10/30 WW ship INDEPENDENCE II arrival in Baltimore 10/11
Depart 10/31 WW ship Don Juan arrival in Brunswick 11/04
Depart 11/04 K ship Florida HWY arrival date in Baltimore 11/14, Brunswick 11/16
Depart 11/07 K ship California HWY arrival date in Baltimore 11/28, Brunswick 11/30
BISHU HWY ?????
Not sure if I left any out. There are a bunch of ships my Mini just needs a ride on one of them.
I need a life! Tracking this car is totally ridiculous but I am just so ready to meet my new car and start motoring. It has been since 2005 since I last had a Mini. I miss the fun factor that driving a great little car offers.

 

Cred -

Very good list. I just checked on the PARSIVAL, and it left Southampton a few hours ago but is headed straight for Baltimore. Have you entered your VIN in the WW tracker? I have often but still coming up dry. LOL I have wasted a good portion of my life now as well tracking this car! I was even trying to get British rail freight info (to no avail)!

I'm also ready to get my new MINI. My last was totalled on August 31st and I've been driving my "backup" vehicle ever since. RIP "Click". Ours will be on one of the next few boats for sure, but the wait is tough. Hang in there.

 

I checked my Vin but did not make it on the Parsival that shipped out yesterday. Hopefully the Tampa or Independence II will take my coupe to the States. At least it will be out of my mind for this weekend since I will be carousing in New Orleans.

 

Called ASK-MINI for the first time today, was delighted to learn that my baby is in production and should be finished next week. Wonder what boat it will get on? Im hoping that K Ship Florida mentioned a few posts up. Would be great to have my Clubby for the Thanksgiving road trip. (The ASK MINI folks have to rank at the top of phone-related customer service I've seen over the past several years--very friendly folks!)

 

My Nigel (Hampton Clubman S) is on INTEGRITY. Looks like they haven't updated the tracking location in about 10 hours and www.sailwx.info still shows it off the coast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Any ideas how long the car will take to get QC'd if the destination port is Baltimore?

To save you all the work, here the link to tracking INTEGRITY on marinetraffic.com

 

I read on the "How to track your mini" thread that you can track until Halifax, Nova Scotia. I guess now we just have to wait.......

My MA says car won't be in St. Louis until 11/11-11/15.

 

My 2012 MCS (JR) is on the Aida bound for Baltimore. Due in port 11/5, then a long truck ride to WI. Been pretty patient so far, but now it's getting tougher. Get here already!!!

 

SCM- they are all very friendly. Some are able to offer more info than others, though. I'm not sure why (adds to the mystery, maybe?).

 

All that is going through my mind right now is the scene from apocalypse now the line..The horror, the horror......Not quite that bad..I attended the motortober on 10/22. Ordered the coupe s; lightening blue; silver roof; sport stripes...And the dreaded .... where is your baby ..??? on order...November and a portion of December is going to be a long 6months...least that is what it is going to feel like...The site is awsome; learning a lot as this is my first mini....never been this excited about a car before...Feel like a little kid waiting on the tooth fairy...Feel better now. Still trying to learn about the mini connect and still confused....No rush have plenty of time to read...

 

Does anyone know about how long a Mini will sit at the Southampton dock before they are assigned a boat?

 

Hopefully someone will have an idea, as my MC Velvet Silver/W also arrived at the dock on the 24th. There are a few boats due to dock and set sail for the US by the 31st.

 

Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Awwww........ Too bad. That takes the fun out of not being able track it.

 

My first one (which I'm not taking delivery on - see my signature) was only on the dock for less than two days when it was loaded on to the Asian Vision. I've read posts from others whose cars were on the dock for weeks. I'm not sure how that whole "loading onto the ship" process works.

 

Looks like the Integrity is inching closer to Baltimore. Apparently you can track beyond Nova Scotia. here's the the latest: http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...l?call=WDC6925

Now another 2 week wait till my car gets to St. Louis - I hope not.
