I'm in the same "boat" as ururk. Maybe our MINIs are somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle.

 

I'm now getting the same info that MINISteve got........... now showing the AIDA and Charleston on August 16th...................... 'sigh.

Hope yunz other guys got loaded on the UNDINE......

 

Sorry to hear that : (

Were you originally scheduled to go on the Undine? Or were you added "last minute"?

 

Did your VIN show up yet anywhere??

 

Let me just say that this thread is preparing me on what to expect in September! Sending positive MINI-mojo to all fellow MINI orderers in all stages of waiting!

 

Initially the Aida......but after a couple of hours it was switched to the Undine but with the (*)......... went back to the Aida this morning....checked the new booking # and there was my Vin# for the Aida.......

Being a last minute addition to the Undine would have been sweet....but I can live with the Aida.......now if I get bumped there..............it will be time to increase my blood pressure meds !!!!

 

Nope. I'm wondering if I made a different line. But 100 MINI's? That makes no sense!

 

It started in Germany, perhaps there are a lot of '05 BMWs loaded?

 

My VIN# hasn't shown up either.

 

Has anyone heard of the Jupiter Diamond Vessel? I just got work my MCSC is on that vessel and I'm trying to find her.

 

Looks like she has transported MINIs B4. A quick search of the internet identified her callsign as '9NVA' and hopefully you can see her path at www.sailwx.info

Just curious on how you found out the name of the ship. My MCS disappeared from the Undine list this morning, and has yet to show up anywhere else. My MA had about as much info as I do on the location of the car, other than "it's probably being loaded onto a boat right now".

Jupiter Diamond, ro/ro, 0500, 43;

Hmmmm, I've got that ship on the webcam! She arrived before the Undine. Interesting.

 

OH! Can I see??

 

Sure. If you watch the radar at that time, the ship actually comes in at a different time!

These are roughly close to one another.

 

I received this information from Bob Smith Mini, my dealership. You should be able to do the same.

 

They didn't have it yesterday, but ASK-MINI shows my MCS as "In Transit", which at least makes me hopeful that she's on a boat going somewhere. I just hope it's in the general direction of Texas.

FYI, OL still shows "Awaiting Transport", and the WW site has no recollection of my VIN.

I guess I'll check again with MINI of Dallas to see if they can give me a ship name now.

 

Where is Mr. Bean these days?
He was so kind to make room for a hitchhiker... too bad they found me and kicked me back to the AIDA

 

What happend to yours in the end? Did it make the boat?? did you go on another ship??

 

I think Bean got tossed off the boat for helping a MINI buddy in need. Either he's in the Bermuda Triangle or floating around in some life boat somewhere. I have no clue where he is.

 

Woah No one at the dealer or ASK MINI can tell you? That'll squeeze the bladder!

 

Isn't that the truth! I guess I'll keep looking. Neither the Dealer or ASK MINI knows.

 

Okay...I found out that Bean departed England on the 20th and is scheduled to dock on August 1st. once he lands, there isn't anyway for me to know more about his location.

So which boat would that have been?

 

Lucky! I'm guessing that I'm on the same boat, as my MINI was completed a day early - right? Heh.

Anyhow, depending on how well K-Line's shipping excel spreadsheet is, it would not be a K-Line - their ship was supposed to depart the 22nd.

 

I've got the feeling were on the same boat too. We've been getting the same data back on out MINIs at the same time.
