:D

So last night, there were a TON more vehicles lined up. I was laying in bed trying to increase the size to see if I could figure out which one was mine, out of the sea of identical looking vehicles, and a name finally dawned on me.

Waldo. :D So now my Countryman has a name.

That's actually a great name. Mine is going to Bubs. That is short for a name my sister and best friend came up with and since I think Bubs works for short and since they have put up with my not having a car for quite some time I figured the least I could do was let them have a say

Does anyone know if their CM made it on the Fidelio? Still not update on Ask MINI and WW.

Congrats. I have a feeling Waldo is sitting on the dock, waving goodbye to his buddy Kawby, while a little condensation drips from one headlight.

I wonder if they promised they would write?

Was that automated or an actual person?
This morning I got "waiting at the port" from from the auto-system.

Does the tracking site have your VIN listed?

I'm kind of confused by those webcams. Is there only one docking area? The Fidelio was there for a whole day, with the Aniara in the background. The next morning, Fidelio was gone, and I assumed that was now the Aniara in the loading position. Later in the day, a new shipped appeared where the Aniara had been, and now a third ship has appeared.

The cargo tracking still doesn't show my VIN, and ask Mini still says I'm at the port. I'm sure it's on the ship by now, and I know the systems are slow to update. (update, I guess I don't realize what day it is. Today is the 1st, so looks like their info is correct, and Aniara is on its way to Southampton.)

But one weird thing, the schedule shows the Aniara has already left the port between Bremerhaven and Southampton, but while that leg appears in red (which says its already left), the departure date for that port stil shows as tomorrow.

I think this is one of those times where too much information is bad. I know my car will get here when it gets here, and I actually enjoy the anticipation, but I'm in information overload and can't stop checking. :D

the OL & ASK can be as far as 2 days behind actual status. It then will take at least 2 days after the vessel has left port for the info to be updated as cargo(vin search input).

Then, when the vessel leaves port, it's out of range after the 2nd day or so. So, no updates on tracking/route until about 2 days away from POA.
(at least this was my situation)

You can track the Aniara here http://shipfinder.co/ship/266282000 or here, http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/def...mmsi=266282000

It just left Zeebrugge, Belgium and is on its way to Southampton.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! Now hopefully one of the various sites will update soon to confirm that my CM is on definitely on that ship. I can't imagine it's not.

The WWL site still doesn't show the record of my VIN. Owner's Lounge now matches ASKMINI and says En Route. Looks like the FIDELIO is headed towards Zeebrugge.....

my mini cm is here!

Ordered mine on 5/2
Got on Parsifal on 6/17
Arrived in Baltimore on 6/27
Supposed to take delivery 6/30 but a freak storm hit the DC metro area that forced the Rockville dealership to close that day due to power outage.
Will definitely take delivery 7/2 and still manage to use my Take Down rebate on the last possible day.

Talk about close call. There was one custom countryman that came in the same boat as ours (fully loaded with all options) that was damaged in the lot during the storm. I feel for the family that ordered that vehicle. Damage was pretty extensive so it will take some time to repair that brand new car.
