Full VIN or just the last 7 numbers?

AskMINI says they will not have any info beyond that point and I'm trying to figure out which of the few boats that leave for the West Coast I'll be on. I had not planned on the 23 - 24 day trip to the West Coast so I'm coming in later than I was hoping.
Has anyone heard any time estimates for the Aero kit to be installed at the Vehicle Processing Center? I've seen estimates as long as 3 - 4 weeks!
AskMINI is saying as of today that my 'Vehicle is in Transit'.
Do ALL MINIs travel via WW or is there another carrier that I might need to check? Does the 'in Transit' really only mean that I have been assigned to a carrier or boat and that AskMINI has no real control until it gets to a dock? The WW site is still saying they don't know anything about my VIN.

A little bit closer
Just checked the WW site and found that my Baby has been discharged at the VPC in NY/NJ and AskMINI says estimated delivery is 3/22 but I have not heard anything from my MA.
. I need to call him to get an update.
How am I going to sleep tonight?

Well,
I have confirmed that Wilhelmsen is stupid through my Mini dealer. Remember how I said that AskMini said my car was already en route when Wilhelsen said it was waiting to go out on the Terrier. Yeah, just talked to me sales guy today and he reconfirmed that my car is scheduled to be delivered to the dealer on April 2nd. I'm thinking that Mini knows where their cars are much better than Wilhelmsen. Remind me that if I ever need a car transported not to go through that company. On the other hand...our Coop will be here in 11 days!!!

Finally!
The Wilhemsen site finally updated correctly! My Cooper is on the Integrity which is currently in Baltimore...so any of you who's cars were built on the 8th...well, you're prolly on the Integrity too...my Mini is so close I can just imagine motoring about in the Texas Hill Country!
To rameeti: When I called AskMini the 1st time, dude I talked to gave me the wrong last number on the VIN. Go to the Owner's Lounge on Mini's site and go to the "Your Mini" link near the top. Now you'll see a list of links to the left of a pic of a Mini. Click on "Service Log" and your VIN will show up on the next page.
So... who else is on the Terrier? I wonder what kind of friends my dark silver MINI is making... it better not be the kind with "candy"!
I wonder how long it'll take from Charleston to get to Orlando, Florida? Hmm...

Looks like I'm going to Atlanta next week
Got the Call for Tuesday
Well My MA called and they have my Baby but I won't be able to take delivery until Tuesday. Something about too many cars and not doing turnovers on Saturday because to busy
.
Eitherway I went over to the dealer for other things and saw her sitting there!! He gave me the keys and I got to sit in it for a while. A tear came to my eye and I got all choked up. I can't wait. this will be a very long weekend for me!!
Hope all the rest of you guys get your MINIs soon. I thank you for the support these few weeks. I would have gone crazy doing this alone:impatient :impatient

Beter late than never
Now that our babys are starting to arrive, I just found in another forum that if the Owner's Lounge Order Details page isn't showing your order details, if you view the page source in your browser it sometimes has the details embedded in there even if the page is blank.

You have to sort throgh a little code garbage, but it's there, copy it into MS Word and you can clean it up with a little search and replace...
MY expected delivery date got moved up from 29th to 26th, too bad the dealer is closed tomorrow...

The Terrier should be docking today!
Woohoo! Come'on MINI! Welcome to the USA!
Congrats Wolfgang. Where do you live? It sounds like yours only took 3-4 days to get to you from the vehicle distribution center. Hopefully mine will be quick like that. I live in Orlando, Florida though, so it may be different.

Oh wow. Then it should be no problem for them to get my MINI to Florida. Woohoo! If the boat docks today like its scheduled too, does anyone think I might see it before the end of March? There's only 4 days left, but if it goes as quick as yours....it's very possible.
