Countryman is Moving

Just got word online that '11 CM All4 auto w/nav/connected has completed production and is "awaiting transport". So, they are moving again.

When you get the updates on where your CM is, you can take added comfort knowing that the updates are a day or so behind. So your CM is actually closer than you think.

Me too! My MCCM was finished yesterday, and is now listed as released to carrier. With any luck they will be on the same boat over.

We also specced an auto, but no nav just blue tooth.

I hope you have better luck than I do. My Countryman was completed and has been awaiting treanspport for two weeks. My MA confirmed that it has not been shipped yet, but they have not provided him with a reason as to why. So hopefully you have better luck and you ship soon.

That's not good. Eric, your order was almost two weeks before mine too. I wonder if since there were some delays, they have been bunching up CMs that are heading to the US and waiting till there are enough to make a large (or normal sized) shipment. It seems in the last week a whole bunch of US bound CMs have been compelted.

Mine was just finished the other day too. Now it's waiting for a boat to Cali. Hoping to see it before the end of August.

Have you tried calling 1-866-275-6464 ? They'll ask you for your production # . They can give you more up to the minute info than your MA can.
Of course they're going to regret that I have their # because I'm going to annoy the H*ll out of them now.
Mine is in production now.
Good luck.

Just checked the Wallenius Wilhelmsen site and my Countryman left Bremerhaven on July 3rd, due into NY on the 15th. Those of you whose cars were completed around the 22nd of June are probably on that ship too, the Manon. Holds 7200 cars.

Lightyr, congratz, it is great to be moving along! I wish I could say my CM is cruising with yours, but it looks like we are on the Fiedlio, due in to Baltimore on the 17th.

Mine was awaiting transport for the last week or so and now is on a boat. Since I am in CT i would guess anyone else that has been awaiting the boat for the East Coast should be with me.Now to find that post where you can track the ship

Lightyr, Thanks that is a great link. I guess we are adding some "regular" Minis to the load.

You don't think it was the Toronto that left on the 4th? I don't see any K-Lines heading to Port Hu.

I suppose it could be and the site just wasn't updated. What boat/carrier is headed to Toronto? And can I track it?

The Toronto is a WW boat, their site should have the schedule info (link below). They show it due in to Port Hueneme Cali on 7-27-11.

My MA sent me an email yesterday saying we expect the car in house on the 22nd. I told him I knew it was due into NY on the 15th. When I first sent him the link to track the ship he went Wow that is so cool.

Ok you guys have it bad I tracked my ship and was able to watch it enter the port in Balitmore via a bridge weather cam- cannot remember the site- I googled towns along the harbor till I found one showing the harbor and waited and watched - It was a long winter Hope you love your cars as much as I have.

I'm thinking of contacting NASA to see if Atlantis can zoom in for me. LOL

My ship has come in. The Manon arrived in Port Liberty (Bayonne, NJ) this morning. Right around the corner from the VDC. Should have car by next week. WAITING sucks.
