maybe I'm an idiot, but that link shows the ships position on sept. 22 - I can't seem to get any current info on that site.

According to the schedule it gets in 11/15 and leaves 11/15 so i don't think anyone should be loaded yet...

...at least i hope not as i'm still 'booked' as well.

Which ship are you looking at? Everything I can see says the Patriot already sailed, and that's the one I am also showing "Booked" but not showing loaded - as if I got left behind .

Oh well, not much I can do except wait for the next - but my wife is even starting to get into it a little bit :impatient

Sorry...

I had to sign up (free), but annoying.

I see my options now show up on OL, just in time for shipping.

Hey... MINIUSA.com is showing my factory options!!! The iPod adapter isn't on there but I guess thats a dealer installed option. The bonnet stripes are on there too and I thought that is a dealer option too...

Oh well, who cares... The guy at 866 ASK-MINI had all of my options listed properly in his database so thats what I'm going by but it is cool to see the the website was updated!

By the way... on my PC at work the "awaiting transport" image is of 2 MINIs at a port... on my Mac at home the image is compleely different. weird. makes no difference what browser i use.

I have Win XP Pro at work and home both and the one at home is different here too, I wonder if that happened when the options got added?

Brian - thanks for that tracking source. I just tracked the Patriot, and it looks to be heading the wrong direction! Maybe its just a normal traffic path, but it looks like the arrow is pointing ENE.

According to Brian's image, the Patriot is a Green arrow points South South West. This makes sese to me as it has to go around that Island on the coast and then head South west to get to New York...

MIB is Missing his sport pack and XENONS!

I Guess I had better E-mail my MA, Richard. According to the Owners Lounge MIB is missing his sport pack, and Xenons! It is too late to call 866 ASK MINI now so I will have to do that tommorow after work tonight and when I get up.

That makes sense, I was using IE at work and Firefox at home as well.

Yes. I have noticed that as well. Over the course of the night, however, it is tracking the correct route towards America.

Hopefully, it is just a glitch in the transfer of data from the real system into the OL system. Doesn't really seem like these two systems are sharing the same data does it?

You are not the only one....my premium package is not shown, but the 17" wheels with A/S runflats are included (which are a part of the premium package) my sport package is not listed, neither are my xenons.

However a week ago i confirmed all of my options via ASK MINI....so i guess its the site that's just troublesome....

Believe that... the guy at ASK-MINI told me whatever is in their computer is what gets built. The website is generally out of date and/or incorrect according to the guy at ASK-MINI. He said some people NEVER see their options on the website.

Isn't it interesting that many of us saw options for the first time today on MINIUSA.com? Maybe they had a temp today who spent all day typing that stuff in!

on the OL, make certain that you scroll down on the little arrow to see all the options. I thought my sport package wasn't there, but I hit the down arrow (even though there isn't a little box in the up down pane) and there it was.

When I saw the Patriot earlier, it looked like it was going due east - maybe it had to avoid a few lesser vessels , nudge nudge, say no more!

It looks like its going due south now, on its way to the shipping channel. It should hopefully turn right any time now (I love how that implies that I'm telling the quartermaster how to drive!!!)

Well, I was scheduled on the Patriot, but I'm guessing I got bumped. No updates yesterday to indicate that I boarded and today the WW site indicates, "[size=3]No tracking information is available for the Cargo ID you entered".[/size]

Miniusa still indicates awaiting transport so who knows. My car appears to be lost at sea...
