Thanks, but how did you figure that out? I was looking at the K-Line and WW boat schedules and could not find that boat. Am I missing a good source for schedule data (I'm looking at the "How to track your MINI" page on NAM).

Searching by ports, Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme on the 2wglobal.com schedule site, I get:

Well good luck...not sure what you would get if a pure oranges mates with an impure orange...

I will post pics once Diablo has made it to the states safe and sound

I assume you mean "does not show up"?

I have the same issue, I have a VIN but the WW website doesn't like my VIN as cargo ID.

I like to think my Countryman is currently on a black-ops mission fighting Somali pirates before it gets here, thus the exact location cannot be revealed.

So far my process has gone pretty quick. Car hasn't sat anywhere very long and am excited about getting sometime in May. My wife and I are sharing a car currently so it will not come soon enough. My order, build, and transport has fallen into place in perfect timing to catch the Madame Butterfly to the west coast. Only hiccup so far is my MA not updating our order to exclude the checkered/piano interior trim - - he emailed me the specs and it was removed only for me to find out through the OL that he processed the incorrect spec sheet. Glad that was all we changed.

For those on the M/V COURAGE, it is anchored as of late last night/early this morning in Baltimore, next to the I-895 tunnel (a mere 30 minutes from my house). For those in the mid-Atlantic area, my MA told me to expect "no less than" a 3-day turnaround from the vessel unlading to when they receive the MINIs in Annapolis. I'm hoping that I can pick up my CM on Wednesday, as my MA is off on Thursdays. We'll see...

I expected a WW line ship since my port is Brunswick; therefore I was hoping for BESS or INDEPENDENCE II which both left in the last two days. So I searched the WW site for my VIN as the cargo ID and it wasn't found. I was bummed out and I emailed my MA and he said it made a ship that left yesterday which would be the INDEPENDENCE II if it was a WW ship. But the MA also said the ETA for the ship is 4/27/11 to the port which means it is not the INDEPENDANCE II since that wont dock in Brunswick until the 3rd of May.

I think it is on BOSPORUS HIGHWAY which may arrive on the 25th to Brunswick based on the current schedule.

I just found out it's on the way. I'm guessing I'm on a K-Line, since the WW tracker doesn't show anything for my VIN. I don't have any details yet. I'm going to have to get my MA on it.

It looks like it would almost have to be on the California, which is scheduled to be in Charleston on the 21st. I may have to really get moving on selling my Mazda3!

Our Countryman is on the Undine (call sign SHJC) and it passed through the Panama Canal yesterday

I've got a couple of screen grabs from a canal webcam I can post up, though I'm stuck at work on my iPad atm.

Our favorite boat tracking site it Sailwx.info

After an evening of OL unavailability, today's status says Fenton is on a boat! I'll try the MAs later to see if I can get any details.

Maybe he's a stowaway on an earlier departure?

My MA confirmed that Fenton started his cruise April 14 on Auriga Leader headed for Port Hueneme, CA. It took three days sneaking about the ship before his presence was discovered.

WooHoo!

My MA had been out of town, but got the dirt for me this morning. Looks like mine will actually be coming in through Brunswick on the Bosporous on the 25th with yours. SWEET!!!!!

Well, after one last weekend of partying in B-haven, Pure Orange finally got his tail pipe on a ship. He'll be coming in on the Torrens, scheduled to hit Baltimore on May 1st. As long as he doesn't get side-tracked playing tourist at the Inner Harbor, we should finally meet sometime in the 6th to 13th range.

Hey Sealy - We're boat mates! After weeks of "no records found" I just now typed in my VIN on the WW tracking website and there it was! Torrens!

Woo-hoo!

Could someone please send me a good link for the VIN tracking site. The one I used from this site doesn't seem to work. Do I have to register first?
