The Mignon left the 20th, but that is a W&W line, and you should be able to track it - voyage number EA528-MIG - though you should be listed. It's also supposed to arrive the 4th.

You crack me up. I was just thinking of the Mignon. Now if only we could find a booking number.

If your VIN doesn't show up on WW it's probably on K-Line. Call your MA and get the Bill of Lading then call K-Line at 800-609-3221 and choose the auto cargo option. Give them your BoL and they'll tell you if it's on one of their ships. (Thanks to Appalachian MINI)

Here are the ships entering NY harbor the 1st and 2nd (can't remember if you're headed to NY or SC).

Lucky to both of you! I'm not on a boat as far as I can see... just having my new paint rained on in a Southampton parking lot.

I better not get any door dings!!!!!!

Think of it this way - assuming Southampton does not have a parking garage - is that it now has been fully tested for any leaks! Some of us don't have that luxury.

Sorry! I am fortunate enough to have a garage at home and I pay for underground parking at the office uptown.


Love the 'MIA' in your sig! Let us know when the search parties return with pictures!

Thanks ururk. I'm to end up in SC on 8/1. It'd be neat if we knew where we really were. Have you checked with your MA to see if there was any departure date shown for you?

Bwahahahahaha! Well done!

I was afraid you were going to put a set of stripes on her and a MINI logo on the prow (another counterfeit found!)

When the OL said our mini's would be partying on the trip over, they weren't joking!

I'm going to make the assumption that my MINI is on the K-Line, and be at peace with that. It just means I should get my MINI the second week of August, assuming no major damage in transit! It's still MIA, as my MA has no ability to get detailed info about the shipping : ( I'll survive.

Here's hoping for you. Does yours disembark in NY and then get ferried up through the lakes?

Time for another change of venue fiasco...

Well the FREEDOM comes in to port tomorrow so It's time to play the waiting list dance all over agin, I expect. If this one happens, I'll make it in to Charleston a week earlier that currently scheduled with AIDA.

Anyone scheduled for FREEDOM at this point? What's the booking number?

ururk, your MA should be able to tell you when it departed and when it should arrive in port.

MINI Steve, I'll keep my fingures crossed for the FREEDOM

I don't know - I was under the impression (somehow) that my MINI was supposed to land in SC - perhaps because it was scheduled on the Undine etc...

As far as asking my MA, I think I've bugged her too much! I'll ask when I go to pick the MINI up. I'm afraid she'll think I'm loopy.

I've been following this thread and just on a whim punched my VIN into the WW website search engine. To my surprise my Mini (built on July 19) was listed on the Undine which left port July 23, on my birthday! According to ASK MINI my car is sitting at the port waiting on a ship, but I'll assume the WW website is more up to date.

Very cool for you!! The WW site is pretty accurate about the whereabouts of their cargo, so it seems you'll have a new bundle of joy sooner than you thought.

Ohh.. Happy B'Day!

Hey ururk! I found out. Bean is on the Andes Highway, just like you figured out! I hope that's where your MINI is too. It's always best two bail ship into the water in pairs.

I hope our MINIs can swim - do they float? . If that brown stuff on the bottom of the ship is rust and not mussels, they'd better learn quick!

Glad to hear that info -> since I'm not showing up on ww at all, AND added to this, the OL has been 2 days behind for me, my MINI showed up as En Route the 22nd, it would make sense that my MINI shipped on the 20th, along with Bean v2.

Thanks for finding out which ship your MINI is on -> confirms the real possibility of a "K" Line MINI.
