Does anyone have the booking number for the Boheme that sailed today? I missed the Patriot yesterday although I was booked on it. I'm not having any luck with the VIN today.

I just checked the WW site and I'm booked on the Tosca too, along with the other two California MINIs. It's kind of exciting as I wasn't expecting to be able to track the car once it had left port. :smile:

The * means your car is waitlisted...it may or may not make it on that boat.

Mine was finished 11/8 and waitlisted for the Patriot, but I do not think Sebastian made it on board...the WW website says they have no info. Waiting is really hard! Hopefully the system will update tomorrow...

Patriot booking number: GBSOU368187

I've yet to notice any problem with the W&W website. Double-check to make sure you're typing your VIN in correctly in the right spot of the W&W site. Go here http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do and click Auto Cargo.

For those on the PATRIOT, the latest schedule shows it hitting Charleston on 11/27 and not the 26th.

I needed to hold onto my Porsche Cayenne until next year for tax reasons, so I thought no problem and wait. (My license plate will read: SUV2MC). Well, because I ordered the factory JCW package, I was bumped up to week 45. It seems that many were complaining about waiting until Week 44 or Week 45 for their JCW, but it actually worked out to my benefit, given my expectation was for a much longer period.

I will probably have my car serviced at San Francisco Mini, as it looks like a great facility.

As our ship is scheduled to arrive on Dec. 7th, do you think we will have our cars by Friday Dec. 23rd, as I would hate to see it just sit at the Port over the holidays?

My MA says that I should get the car before XMAS. I hope so because you could see the guys at the Port and at the dealers spending time on Holiday with the family. Or worse they will be out Xmas shopping at Walmart while my Xmas toy that I have to pay for is sitting in white wrap waiting to be inspected, or washed or what ever they do before they let you take it home. My hats off to you for the MSRP price. I knew about East bay MINI of Pleasanton but I could not stand to wait 9 months. Buying out of state was not a option because of taking time off work to deal with DMV to register. Plus if I was not satisfied with the car I could yell at the MA in person not via AT&T. Besides my 98 Subaru Outback has now got 80,000 miles and its time to do major service, brakes timining belt etc. I would hate to soak money into a car I would be getting rid of in a few months. I know its not ($2500.00 markup) in maintance work. But hey I play by the rules and the last car I bought, An AUDI S4 much nicer than the Subaru became my wife's car.
ITS MY TURN NOW!

Thanks for the booking number, but still no luck. VIN's on both sides of my number are there, but mine is nowhere to be seen. Very strange as I've been able to track my car since Friday, but today it's gone. I'll just give it another day and hope it starts to show up somewhere again.

Going out of state was not an option for me as well. With Mini's in California, it's either waiting more time or paying more money to get the one you want. In the long run, the Mini will be worth the wait and worth the price.

I was excited as well, as 1-866-ASK-MINI and their website were of no help, so I took the advice of some from this thread (thank you and you know who you are), and there it was, with a Port arrival date of Dec. 7th on the Tosca. The ship arrived Southampton at 4:30 a.m. from Belgium and shall leave at approximately 6:00 p.m. (9:00 a.m. PST) on Wednesday from Southampton on its way to Panama with our cars aboard. Check the WW site again to make sure the car is actually on board.
Take care,

I think everyone set for the boheme should be ok... out of 240 only 6 didn't make it on. I hope none of them are us! Again, worst case scenario they would be loaded on the liberty tomorrow.

Hey, our car has missed 2 WW ships already since being received at the terminal and booked on 11-11. I think some other car carrier have also come and gone. There is no telling how many miles my car may have on it touring around England by the time it finally gets on a ship. Just wish I was the one driving instead of a dock worker.

Loaded next stop CA

Finally, I was loaded at 0900 hours so hopefully they don't back my car off the ramp because they got to many cars aboard. Next stop for the Tosca , CA.

Since this is still Thanksgiving weekend I don't think it'll adversly affect when we actually get our cars though.

Hyper Skip:
They shouldn't take your car off as my car may be blocking your car, as mine was loaded much later at 15:37. The Tosca is scheduled to set sail at 22:00, so it's looking pretty good, or 13:00 PST.
Take care,

I just checked, and I was loaded on the Tosca at 2.23pm this afternoon, UK time. Apparently the weather was cold and cloudy, so I'm sure all the California cars are eager to set sail.

The Patriot does not stop in NY/NJ. It sails southward after stopping in Baltimore.

Liberty

Looks like I'm booked for the Liberty leaving tomorrow 11-17-05. Is there anyone else out there scheduled for this boat?
