The ship is coming! The ship is coming!

I just found out that my car has been transported to the port and will be on it's way soon! I am SO EXCITED!!! This is good news since I have been ordering more and more stuff for my '06 MCS PH/S to pass the time! Now I am just waiting for my VIN to show up on WW so I can track it across the pond!

Anyone else waiting at the port?

Which port will your MINI be destined for? This will determine if you will be on a WW ship or not...west coasters like me will probably be on a NYK Line ship (which are consequently, harder if not impossible to track!)

Well more specifically I meant to ask is what dealer did you order from? This will help determine whether you will be off-loaded in an east or west coast port...

I'm in the exact same situation. My VIN doesn't show up on WW yet, but I'll be offloaded at NEAT in New Jersey, so I should be on a WW ship.

Yeah Purple!

My car is now awaiting a vessel as well. I ordered from MINI of Fife in Washington. What port will it arrive in? Thanks for the info!

Your ship will be coming into Port Hueneme (near Oxnard), CA.
