Yay! Look Phil, we have someone else on board with us.

I wonder if the website operators of these shipping companies know about us. I can just imagine them sitting there looking at their logs saying "why is someone from Portland accessing our website 400 times a day trying to find a VIN number???"

Awww....group hug everybody. It'll all be over soon.

I am just sad that the Freedom is not showing up on the weather sites. I really enjoyed watching the progress of the ship on my last MINI.

Yaaa, we both must think alike. Good timing too on the location of FREEDOM on the AISLive map - right on the tip on the traffic arrow!

MINIUSA OL still shows that it is en-route and says "Estimated Delivery Date: 2/25/06". While I've been waiting I made a few pages...
http://www.thompsonsmithdesign.com/?page_id=6

My MA and I discussed the actual pick-up from Keeler MINI, hand over the keys, sign the papers, start the break-in process, driving back to Northern Vermont through the Adirondack Mountains past Lake George day could be as early as this Fri 3rd.

Great find! I've been searching up and down the east coast at all the possible ports it might hit from what little information on it's schedule I could find. But I never did find it. This is cool!!

Now to try and catch it on the webcams
