So am I, even though ASK MINI says awaiting transportation. It left on the 8th. I was beginning to wonder what was taking so long since it was finished on the 3rd. When does it come into CA?

coneslayer and beach, we're shipmates on the Figaro. sweet.

The Fig is scheduled to dock in CA on March 31, its voyage taking 23 days instead of what seems like the standard 20 (e.g. the Toledo, which left on March 2 is scheduled to arrive on March 22.

Saw a purple MCS with the cordoba beige on the street today. It had the regular "non-anthracite"/lighter-colored roofliner. Still looked pretty good, now I'm kind of regretting the $200 for the anthracite roofliner. Plus I sat in an A3 recently, and the darker roofliner does make the interior feel a bit more cramped. Oh well, too late now. PORT HUENEME here we come!

False Start

Boo. I was wondering why my status never changed to show that my MINI was on the boat, since it left port a couple of days ago. I've been bumped off the Integrity and onto the Terrier. The bad news is that the Terrier doesn't leave until the 19th. On the upside, the first port of destination beyond Southampton is Charleston, so I the voyage only takes 10 days, instead of 14 if it had to go through NY and Baltimore. If everything runs on time, I should only be delayed 2 days.

Well if it makes you feel any better hwyengr it will still be towards the end of April before my MC is ready for me to pickup....so I still have a month or more to wait for that wonderful day. What makes it even worse is that someone in the next building over from where I work showed up with their new MCS this morning....really made me jealous!

INTEGRITY is making pretty good progress across the Atlantic. Here's the current position.

Mike, you should plug your VIN in the auto cargo tracker here
http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do

That should tell you which ship and voyage you are on. You can then click on the link for the voyage and see the schedule.

Ah, I see..

Looks lke I'm on the Terrier. I guess I'll be seeing my car sometime around the beginning of April.. Thanks for the tip!

BTW, if you can't find your VIN any other way, it's added to your MINI owner profile when your car completes the manufacturing process.

I am on the Terrier too. I can't get the other link that shows where the ship is to work. Anyone got any ideas on what to search for?

You need to find out what the callsign is for the ship in order to track it using the sailwx site. I think the boats basically run pretty well according to the schedule so it should arrive when the voyage schedule says it will. You can try googling around in order to find the callsign.

Terrier Callsign

According to Coast Guard website, the Terrier's callsign is LAKA4. If you enter this on the SAILWX.INFO website it finds the Terrier but has no position information.

Now that's funny. I made an almost identical post on Week 10 yesterday...
Crazy part is, Owner's Lounge says I'm "en route", guess they haven't figured out I missed the boat yet...

Looking at the sailwx pages, it says that the site only contains positional info for ships that voluntarily report it consistently. This leaves me with 2 theories on Terrier:

1) It's in port and not reporting info

2) It doesn't report or reports inconsistently

I'm hoping for #1 and that we'll be able to track it from Southampton to Charleston. It's a short drive from Charleston to Atlanta!

For what it's worth, the position of the Figaro hasn't been updated for about 24 hours. Maybe there's some technical difficulty.

Augusta? I've been there a few times. I grew up over in Athens.

There are 2 dealers in Atlanta. Did you buy on the southside (Hank Aaron Mini) or the northside (Global Mini)? We bought from Global. If you're taking delivery there, perhaps we'll meet in the showroom!

Maybe we will, I bought mine fromGlobal also, it was closer to Pappa Deux. I'll be easy to recognize; I'll be in the MINI with the Fla Gator sticker in the window.
