For everybody whose MINI is still out there you can check to see if your mini is on board:

Go to WW site, search booking number GBSOU431066 and see if your MINI's VIN is on the list. Try "printer friendly version" to see more at a time

They are being loaded as I type!
I might not be on the Integrity. It only says booked at terminal, but not boarded

the boat schedules take a day or two to update. So if you are booked, it will take a day or two to find out for sure whether your MINI was recieved on the boat. And if it's happening during a weekend, you won't find out until about tuesday.

Congrats to everyone makin their boats. Your MINI's will soon be with you.

We will all definitely post pictures - right,everybody? And yes, I haven't slept well since I ordered her nearly two months ago. I'm so excited. I look at MINI **** all day on the computer, and about 50 times a day - right in the middle of conversations - I say "I WANT MY MINI!!!"

Luckily, there was a British Motoring Club event in the park across the street from my house yesterday. I saw a dozen or so MINIs, both new and classic. It was heavenly. I drooled on most of them (hope their owners didn't mind). In a way, though, it just made me want mine even more. Sigh.

Mine says that it is being transported to the dealer now. So I will be definately buggin my MA to see if they have it in. I'm gonna try and see if I can roll over there to see it before they send it out for the aero kit.

I've been crazy excited especially once my MINI hit US soil. I know my friends are tired of me saying I can't wait to get my MINI. Too bad, they have to deal with it.

I went to a Carmax to get an appraisal for my truck and they had a MC on the showroom floor. Of course I had to sit in it. Once I sat in it, closed the door, and grabbed the steering wheel; i just realized that I would be sitting in my own MINI soon.

CAN'T WAIT!!!! AAAGGHHH!!!

The Manon left Halifax and is scheduled to arrive in NTC today.

Hopefully I'll have my car in time for my trip after all!

Did you check the ww site and the boarding list? You can then check to see if your VIN number is in the listing.

I have my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks...looks like I'll have to live vicariously thru my support group for longer that expected. That's the true reason it's called a "support" group.
It never said I was on board, only received at terminal...now it looks like I'm still waiting again, for the Freedom. What gives, why would I be waiting on dock since the 9th missing all those ships? Time to email my MA again.

YAY FOR YOU!!! Yes, if you don't end up on WW, it's next to impossible to track your car. I'm still waiting to hear whether mine was on the ship I think it was on. But who knows???

Well congratulations! That is such great news!

The Manon is due in Charleston on June 30. I wonder if this is the ship you are on

So do you think you're on the K-Line EMDEN? My order was destined for a June 12th build but it was done by the 10th and I'm hoping I'm on the EMDEN bound for Charleston by the 29th. It should dock in Baltimore in the next day or so.

I know I'm not on a WW ship and I'm marked as en route in the OL so my last hope, given the lack of tracking, is that I'm on the EMDEN.

In Charleston?

For all of you that were on the Courage headed to Charleston, have you gotten any updates? I see that it has docked in Charleston and is heading back out tomorrow. My MINI is still showing as being on board, but perhaps the list hasn't updated yet. I hope he hasn't gotten accustomed to the cruising lifestyle and is opting to stay on the boat! I am so ready for him to get off the boat and receive his citizenship papers so he can make his way to Florida.....

Planets are aligned, my Mini is here!

Hi all,

The long wait is finally over for my little Mini. I just took delivery and even though it's a bit rainy, it's still a blast! The auto sensing wipers work great.

To all who are en route or awaiting transport, hang in there . Good things come to those who wait.

Swizzle
Stir it up!

PS: according to todays radio report, Mars, Mecury, Saturn and Moon will be aligned tonight. Now how cool is that?

The WW website still shows Minitenango as being on the Courage. I hope he didn't fall asleep and miss his stop

Drat, I can't tell what ship my car is on! I called my MA today and he told me he had no clue what ship it's on. The only thing he knows is that the ship left on June 17th, and should be arriving at Port Hueneme on July 9th.

I tried searching the WW site and saw that the ISOLDE left on the 17th and is heading toward Port Hueneme around July 11th. Perhaps this is the same ship?

It looks like the Isolde is making a stop at Charleston, GA before heading through the Panama canal.

But I don't see the Isolde anywhere on the sailwx.info site. But I read somewhere that if a ship is close enough to land that it's not listed on that site. So maybe it's unloading cars in Charleston already?

Maybe I'm on a NYK line, though. I can't remember whether it's NYK or WW or what that delivers to the west coast.

I wish someone, either at ask-mini or my dealership, could tell me what ship I'm on, but when i called ask mini, they told me I'd have to ask my dealer for more details because at that point, it's theirs. Maybe some dealers just care more about keep track of the cars while they're in transit?
