Haven't come up with a name for my new one yet, but since it is likely floating in the ocean at the moment waiting for someone to fish it out, maybe something like Ariel. Or Rusty.

No, I'm not annoyed by my further delays at all
Nemo looks like a fitting name to me

In Transit

It's been 4 days now that the mini robot says BRYTASSBLU is in transit. I checked the WW Cargo Tracking and still no results. I'm assuming we are on a K-Line vessel. How do I track our mini on the K-line site?

I also have been expecting to get on the courage today. Nothing on the ww site yet. I think someone mentioned that the ship may be late getting into port to pick up our cars. There was a k line ship scheduled out on the 14th, but only your MA can tell you if you were on that ship.

The car's name doesn't need to have anything to do with the navi voice. That's like saying you can't talk to your vehicle when the key's not in it.
And FYI, my pepper white outside-black inside coupe is a GIRL. And she already has a name.

(Contemplating not hitting "submit" because I fear some of you may send out the dudes in white coats to come get me. Did I say I live in Baltimore? Just kidding.)
Erm, you're all nuts! I've never even contemplated naming a car (and this will be my third Mini). I do sing to my dogs, but thats as quirky as I get

Don't kill the messenger, but according to the marine sites, the Courage has departed :(

So...I was on the NAM app on my phone reading through here, wondering why I'd missed so many posts, and answered somebody's question. Um, I was in the 2012 thread. Street cred on NAM = zero.

Don't worry no knives flying through the air from me.

Molly is still not showing on the ww sight. Maybe the info is delayed, do I dare hope that she made the k line ship that left on the 14th? She completed early on then13th The robot says she at the port waiting for her ship.

Are you saying you're not nuts? Care to repeat how many times a day you're calling the robot? And I bet $1 that you sandbagged that number... :p

I don't sing to my cats, ever. But I talk to them often. But since cats are able to process human language, it's not that weird.

Did I mention that I want my car to show up already?

All my MA knows is that the car is at the port, well no duh! At least he didn't say half my car is at the port and the other half is back in the paint shop.

Think I'll go cold turkey for a week, no ASK-MINI, no OL, no WW cargo tracking, no NAM!

I'm hoping my decline into craziness will end with the delivery of my new Mini....but only time will tell.

BTW: the robot has given me the same status fourteen time today...what gives?

What the heck? This is so strange. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. For sure you will be on the 27th ship then!

As of this morning, ask Mini says "In Transit" - woot! I didn't get a Vehicle Inquiry Report when I ordered it so I've email my MA to see if he can email me one and/or tell me what ship it's on.

From what I can tell, the next boat leaving for Brunswick, GA is the Topeka on the 24th of this month. Is there a K-line schedule?

Yes. I don't have time to find it at the moment, but the link has been mentioned several times in this thread and in the How To Track Your Mini section.

This is the easiest question to answer. Call fewer times, you'll get fewer same-responses.

Yes mine is the Hyde park. When i get her I will post pictures.

Just talked to a rep at ASK MINI and he said that my car did make it to port on the 14th. He doesn't know about a shipping vessel. Do I dare hope that she made the Athens' highway that left on the 14th. I am still coming up empty on the ww site. I am going to email my MA. Don't know if she will respond but worth a try.

I hope yours made it, but I would not hold your breath. Mine was at the port 9 days before it got on a ship. And that ship hasn't left the port yet.

Mine's a CM that left Bremerhaven, so it's a different port, but it spent 7 days at the port before making it on a vessel. That was the 2nd boat that left during the time it was there. I don't think it's very common for it to make it on a boat 'right away'.

You'd think...but i just called again and the Robot said they have off-loaded some MD-bound cars from a boat to make room for CT-bound ones - which was nice.
