I wish I would have ordered sooner. This wait is driving me crazy!!! Although, I would have been going crazy like this two months ago

 

I taught two girlfriends how to drive a stick...that makes me a decorated war hero! Anyway...If you don't give it enough gas, you'll jerk and stall...too much and you'll jack rabbit. Here's the trick: imagine there is an egg between your foot and the gas pedal. Of course, you don't want to break it or you'll get yolk all over the carpet. Get the idea?

Good luck and please let us know how you make out.

 

pick mine up friday. CAN'T Wait!!

 

Sagittarius Leader is getting ready to dock!!!

Who else is is traveling on it?

 

HAHA!!! I had to tell the GF I wasn't the only one that's been watching this boat come in today. Validation

 

Woo Hoo!
Have fun motoring

 

Seriously?
Good, I'm not the only insane one here!
Um, did you take a picture of the screen and text it to anyone?
I did.

 

Cricketine, you got it baaaaaaad my friend

(psst: I did it too )

 

My status shows Return to Shipper. That means I got bumped, right?

:(

 

I did not. I haven't really mentioned it. People know I ordered one but I have kept quiet about it. Except that my GF has had to watching me look online for different toys for it and also check its status constantly.

I actually have marinetraffic.com in the corner of my monitor at work.

 

Mine did too!! WTF

 

I guess I'm out in the cold now on this. The only info from my MA about the ship is "OL is where you find out what ship you would be on", cool but OL doesn't update until about a week after the fact. The Port Hueneme schedule only goes up until March 3 and im not sure when it is updated. I guess I'm stuck with stalkIng ships as they come into Southampton....

Whatever info you get about a next ship I'll assume it's me too

This is too obsessive.

 

My research showed that the next WW Ship that goes to our port leaves on the 14th. So we are out about a week.

Origin Port Departure Destination port Arrival Vessel Voyage Transit (Days)
SOUTHAMPTON 14/02/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 07/03/2012 FEDORA CD206-FED 22
SOUTHAMPTON 28/02/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 21/03/2012 TORTUGAS CD208-TOR 22

 

NOOOOO!!!!!
I don't wanna wait ANOTHER week!!!!!! :whine:

Sigh..... Not fair but nothing I can do about that. Well, I could ***** out my MA for sitting on my order for a week before he put it through. No matter what, my car will get here sooner or later.

 

It wouldn't have made a difference. Mine was in a week before yours and it's still on the dock. It's just one of those things.

I figure my work just got another week of productivity out of me since I won't be watching a boat all day long.

Go to the WW Track and Trace link and put the last six or so numbers of your VIn in the Cargo ID box on the right. It should come up with the information you need a couple days after production. Then you can track it from time to time via Sail WX (if equipped) and/or AIS Live when the ship is closer to shore. You might even discover there are live webcams at the locks of the Panama canal and get a screen snap there. Don't worry, you really aren't OCD if you do this..... ;-)

 

1-866-275-6464(ASKMini) for info on your ordered Mini.
You will need your build number. You can even whine to a real person!!!!!!!
Direct line to what's happening with your build.

 

Thanks for the info, which is how I found out which ship I was going to be on until Mini Z was "returned to shipper". I'm just waiting for my second ship to come in now!

 

Yeah, whining and crying never did me any good anyway

 

M V Aphrodite Leader Updated ETA Port Huememe, Feb 13, 0900.

 

Llanrhaeadr with her ultra wide "bonnet stripe" right off the truck in Pittsburgh. Plan to catch the Greyhound into town later this week and take her for a spin.

 

Thanks for the updates Taosman. That's only like 5 more days, sweet!

 

Nada de nada. While waiting I took delivery of a brand new Trek Madone bicycle! Can't wait for warmer weather!

 

A little help please?

Ok, first off I have no help from my MA so there is not a chance to ask him.

I know that I can find out if my car is going to be on a WW ship and that I can track it all the way. I also know that I can see which ships come into Hueneme, which is where it is going. I see that the WW site says:

SOUTHAMPTON 14/02/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 07/03/2012 FEDORA CD206-FED 22
SOUTHAMPTON 28/02/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 21/03/2012 TORTUGAS CD208-TOR 22

but the Port Hueneme site doesn't show any cars coming in the week of the 7th. Also, this is only two deliveries per month...I thought there were supposed to be four. Are the other two K Line?

If my car is going to be on a K Line ship, which I know there is no way to track it... How will I be able to find out which one it will be on? Again, if I'm supposed to get this information from my MA I'm out of luck. The only advice he could give me was to look in the Owners Lounge. Um....where?

 

I would give it a few more days for the system (Mini, Shippers, and Ports) to work itself out. I doubt Mini would just switch shipping companies when the vehicle is already checked into one. Our MA is probably only be able to tell us what we know already. Its at the port waiting in line to get out.

I am just as excited as you are to get my Mini. It's a drag that our kids missed the boat but this one doesn't appear to be in Mini's control.
