It should be in Baltimore today or tomorrow and Charleston on Saturday. Maybe.
Hey UJ according to Ernestine it should be due in Charleston on Friday

EDIT to say: Finally made it to page 5!

It sailed from Baltimore a day early (today!). So, have they actually found Smurfette yet?

Well the stupid WW site still shows it at the dock waiting for the 4th vessel called the Patriot so as far as im concerned its unreliable. According to Ernestine and her computer it is due in Charleston on Friday (June 2nd) which would in fact mean its on the Integrity.

BTW im not sure if its Smurf or Smurfette yet, i was thinking about it and typicially cars have girls names, but when i created the Smurf thing i was just going to call it Smurf. Now since so many people have been calling it Smurfette, i can kinda see it, cause im not sure if the car is going to be a girl or a boy.

I think I'm on the Intrepid, due to dock here in Charleston 6/3. Is there a way you can actually find out which ship it's on?

Mine's the Pepper White Mini that's won the skeet shooting contest off the bow, been swiping the life saving rings off the bulkheads for cruise souveniers, glued the shuffleboard pucks to the deck before the Authentic Hawaiian Luau, and been shooting bottle rockets down the passageways at 3AM every night.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure mine's been the one taking the screws out of the deck chairs, and putting liquid soap in everybody's toothpaste tubes, too.

Not a sales rep for them or anything, but if you are looking for some seat covers that you can order in a plethora of color combinations, and that can keep the actual seats from getting wet, here ya' go.

Hey Surfdog, you can search by VIN # on this site:

http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do

If it's not on this shipping line, I'm not sure where to track it. ....not sure if the Intrepid is a WW ship.

If you don't have your VIN #, you can find it by right clicking and selecting "view source" in the Miniusa.com owner's lounge order tracking area. The Vin # is buried in the code.

I've heard Pepper White's always get hit with graffitti by the other minis on board...could explain it's erratic misbehavior!

Cheers!

That's probably not graffitti; it has a tendancy to wanna change hair colors a lot.
It's the Guinness.

Well, Integrity is not showing up on the AIS site. The WW site shows That it left Baltimore, but is still scheduled to arrive in Baltimore again before leaving for Charleston. The Owners Lounge has not changed. I know it's going to get there, but it's killing me to have a day with no decernable progress! Anybody know anything?

This is a vessel docking schedule for the Port of Charleston. It indicates that the Integrity is scheduled to dock at Union Pier here on 6/3, and the Freedom is scheduled to dock here, also at Union Pier, on 6/11.

The Freedom is a day ahead of schedule! WW now says it's due 6/4 in NYC and 6/10 in Charleston.

...word is the ship's crew was fearing a mini mutiny, or they are out of Guiness, ...or both.

Sure, goto http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do
click 'track by booking number'
enter 'GBSOU421570'
When that comes up click on the Voyage number and the port status will be displayed.
FYI: The Integrity showed up on the AIS site again. http://aisfree.aislive.com/Influx.as...ast%20Overview

If you are asking me, When I run my VIN in the WW cargo shipping site, see link above, it shows that it was loaded on the Integrity.
When I look at the Manifest for the Integrity it also shows my VIN as loaded.
If you are asking IrishCooper, well I'm not sure, He says that the VIN still shows him not loaded, so I guess he is just hopeing

soooo close!

My MCS was aboard the integrity and was dropped at the VDC on memorial day. OL shows the status as "at distribution center" but I know that it could be at the dealer now.

Last night, I was driving a MINI in my dreams...won't be long now.

It does $uck. Looks like Integrity has departed Charleston, so maybe mine got off and maybe Smurfette really was a stow-away.
