You go to the Wallenius website, click on cargo tracking, select Auto shipment, and then type in your full VIN, WMWRE....... whatever, then you should see if it is dockside and what vessel it is booked on. Caution: That is not necessarily the vessel it will go on, but watch every few days and see if it changes or remains the same....

 

lol,when I travel to my datacenter I end up being Charlestown! Hopefully I won't be sitting at work with my mini sitting in a big metal box only a mile or so away!

 

Looks to be that we're still waiting for the ride to the port from the factory, nothing comes up on my VIN, maybe tomorrow. I know the site used to say specifically enter the VIN, now it says cargo ID, OH well...

 

I feel kinda left out, they need to change the topic to include 11/5/2005 : Saturday is the last day of the week. No RESPECT for Saturday babies

 

I don't think the OL [owner's lounge] is that far off in vehicle tracking, like others have experienced. Today it changed to WAITING FOR TRANSPORT.

It was just a day or so ago that the ASKMINI woman, (was it Meg?), told me it was being scheduled for a truck to the port. It's in the Port now and awaiting shipment. This is mooovingg....right along. I still can't find it on the WW cargo tracking.

My MA will be back tomorrow so maybe by Monday (11-7) or so he can give me a ship, whooopee!

 

I just talked to ASK MINI and my car is sitting at the dock waiting for a boat!! Whoo Hooo!!!! It is getting closer...

Mine is at the dock too! I don't know what vessel it will be on yet....I should ask my MA but I feel I've been bugging him too much lately as it is.

I can't wait to get it! Just knowing it is all built and put together..... (sigh) I want it. Now.

Guess I'll just have to wait! Hopefully our babies won't get sea-sick!

I am built and on a truck to the ship yard. I just need to know if NYK does the shipping to Cailfornia or does Wallenius W. So I can track my car. Does anyone know the NYK arrival dates to California in Late NOV and early December?

You guys are KILLIN' me! Nov 3 (today) was my production date before I discovered the dealer error!

ARRRGH!

I'm still back in week 46, as far as I know.
Congrats to you all!

 

Anybody know how to figure out what boat you are on? I asked ASK MINI, but they couldn't tell me which one. I was on the W2global website and I see that a boat is leaving on the 7th, but I also noticed that Kline lines has one leaving about the same time? Does anyone know which one it would be?

Thanks,

Mike

 

Synthia is in the paint shop. She's been there since wensday night . She got a good bath, lots of filler. I wounder if her engine is built yet . I'm going to sleep tonight thinking about her . I cannot wait till saturday

 

Yiipppeee, right now "Pepe" is logged into the terminal @ Southhampton from 11-2, the day after build completion. Passage berth on the UNDINE at the moment, first and fastest boat out of the U.K. on 11-7-05.

Makes sense I don't think the "slow boat" would agree with his intended mission in life. We shall see, we shall see...

 

hey yall... congrats on your new cars!
I wish you all speedy delivery!
happy motoring!

 

Well Synthia is in the assembly line, has been since late last night . Supposed to be finished on 11/5. WEEEEEEE.


They have till 11:59:59-pm on saturday night

 

My baby has been slotted for the UNDINE ship that leaves South Hampton on 11/7 and arrives in Charleston on 11/17. How long after docking does it take to get to the dealership? Will I get it in November??

PJ

 

The sales manager at my dealership told me my car would take 2-3 days to get to the dealership from the port, but I'm in Tampa - I would think a few more days to get to dallas. Congratulations on making the 11.7 boat - I was hoping to make that one too but I'll have to wait for the following week.

 

Thanks for the info! Do you know how long it will have to stay at the Distribution center before it hits the highway towards the dealership?

~PJ

 

The way he made it sound, it doesn't sit there very long - maybe a day or two at most, as they have a pretty efficient system of getting cars in and out of there as they have so many coming in and only so much space to park them.

 

Today I learned that Nancy is on the dock waiting for the boat to pick her up!


I was looking at my VIN and the first letter is W and according to http://www.sjbaker.org/telamom/vin.html this means it was manufactured in Germany. I thought MINI's were manufactured in the UK. Does anyone know what is going on here?

Also, does anyone know which port the ship will depart from and which port it will arrive, or is it a crap-shoot and I won't know until it is underway?

 

All ships will leave from South Hampton. Go to this website: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto

Type in the VIN number and if your MINI is scheduled on a boat via this company, you will find out which one she is on and what port she will be headed to. If for some reason your MINI isn't listed, its either going to venture out on the sea via a different company or it just hasn't been booked on the boat yet.

The other way you can find out is to ask your Motoring Advisor at your dealership...they should know. Hope this helps!

SYNITHIA IS BORN AND WAITING FOR TRANSPORT

 

I just found out that my car is slated to be on the Courage due to ship on the 6th and arrive in NYC on the 15th. Man, I hope I get it before Thanksgiving!! :smile:

Anybody else on the Courage?

 

Mini is wholy owned by BMW. They are built in GB, but the owner of record of the company is BMW Germany.

 

As of yesterday inputting my VIN# on the WW site, I am slated to be boarded on the Undine(sp?), so arrival will be sometime around the 17th I believe? Also, as a reference, my completion date was on the 1st.

 

Thanks for the replys everyone!

Another thing I was wondering... I got my VIN by calling MINI-Usa, but I keep seeing people post about getting their VIN off the Owners Lounge web site. I've looked around but I'm not seeing anything about the VIN on the website. Did I misunderstand the provious posters or am I just not looking in the right place.

Thanks!
