Joining the club. My mcs was built on the 11th, out to the docks on the 14th and now just waiting to get booked on a ship to the west coast. The days seem like they are getting longer and longer. At least I assume AZ. cars are going to the west coast.

 

hey cactusflier...have you talked to your MA about tracking your Mini? Are they able to give you the name of the ship. If so post it here please.

 

Flo's been on the dock waiting assignment to a ship for 5 days.:impatient

Hope the dock hands don't strike.....

 

It's official! I'm om Undine out of Southampton into New York sailing tomorrow per RHACPA. My dealer(Princeton MINI) is only 30 miles from port.I'm hoping for first or second week of October!Sorry El Jefe. Hope you're are sailing soon.

 

Cool Beans, richreef. It's starting to get exciting isn't it. Maybe it won't be much longer for the rest of us.

 

wooooohooooooooooooo on the ship right there with ya rich.....

 

Congrats guys! You are the first two of our group assigned to ship!!

Anyone on West Coast who gets a ship name for us will recieve a free Starbucks! LOL

Gonna Call my MA today he hasn't returned my email and I am wanting some contact!

 

Mine is done since yesterday

It got trained at some point and is waiting to be shipped

I wonder how frequent the ships are and such! I also wonder if I might be on that ship that you guys are on. Cargo website does not show me on however, I guess I will try tonight to see.

 

My MINI just showed up this morning on the cargo tracking site. I checked last night and it wasn't listed.My car was "received at the terminal" on Sept. 16th at 11 AM.There is still hope for you. Good luck!

 

Drat, Richreef, you got my hopes up. I checked the cargo tracking site this morning. Flo wasn't there, but I just checked again thinking positive thoughts. Hey, I've got my VIN memorized!

 

Hm! This is good news for me possibly! Bad news for you though Sissy as it appears yours is waiting there a good while. I wasnt given info about my car being received at a terminal or anything however. I will call tonight to see if I can get that info.

I was told that sometimes mini's kinda sit ready to be shipped out for a few days or more. I could be on the next next shipment which would suck :(

 

My car has been at the terminal since last Weds.. no ship info from ASK MINI .. gotta call my guy this waiting for a float is killing me!

 

Me too.. can't tell you how many times I've typed that VIN in!!

 

For those of you on the M/S Undine-your baby is resting comfortably on this ship waiting for tomorrow's voyage. I hope they all get a dose of Dramamine before sailing and a nice sleep tonight. Tomorrow's a busy day for our Mini's

 

Yours isnt on the undine right?

I definitely know mine isnt as it would be on there registered by now.

 

I am on the Undine

 

El Jefe, That lil hussy Flo. She's probably out goofing off somewhere chasing after the hot Minis and not paying attention to her name being called to get onboard.

 

Hi Giants............I haven't talked to my MA. The info I posted is what I got from ask mini. I am hoping my car shows up on the shipping website in the next few days.

 

same ship!!!!!what is the average sail time to ny.

 

Hi! I've been watching and reading the posts. My MCS (Chili Red w/black top) was finished production on the 13th and made it onto the Patriot. I understand it sailed last Friday.

We are very excited.

Is anyone else on the Patriot?

 

There's some folk from Week 36 on the Patriot... it would be great if mine were there!


EDIT To ADD:
Just talked to my MA, Blair Robinson at East Bay MINI, and he says Moe is not on a ship. He says when its on a ship he can tell but he can't tell what ship its "going" to be on. Promised to call me as soon as he knows differently.

 

which coast is the patriot going to??

 

Just talked to someone at MINI, seems mine has been pushed back to 38. Its in the body shop right now.

You guys have fun. Im going to the other thread.

 

WOOO-freaking- HOOOOOOO!!!!

Just got a call from MA. I was one of the cars with wrong VIN numbers and apparently they changed VINs and rebuilt my baby....so I am on the dock. Don't have a clue how to track from this point.... anyone?


So excited...guess you were right Homer.

Go to the stickie on "how to track your MINI" Click on link to cargo and then auto cargo. You'll get a screen where you put in your VIN#. If you're booked on a boat it will tell you which one, It takes a day or two after production to make it to the port for shipping. Good luck!
P.S.- I was one of the lucky convertibles who had their VIN# changed fron a 2007# to a 2006#. I really feel badly for the people who are in limbo with a 2007 VIN#
