Just for reference. Mine dealer said 3 days because they know absolutely nothing and pretty much ******** their way through everything. He STILL didn't know my car was done until I told him a few days ago.
My car arrived in port on 5/29, but the distribution centers are closed on weekends, so it will be leaving on a truck on the 4th and get to my dealer on the 7th. 2 or 3 more days for installation and stuff.

My MA tells me my car is being shipped to a port in GA, then by truck to Texas. The 1-866-Ask-Mini line says it is at the port waiting on transport. Anyone else being shipped to GA? Do you have a booking number yet? Mine does not show anything yet by VIN on the Track&Trace website.

K-line is definitely more hard to track. No page where you can check your VIN.
It also was seven days after it was on a ship before anything updated (online or on the phone). In fact, 1-800-ASK-MINI still says it's "at the port awaiting a shipping vessel" even though it's been on a boat for nine days.

Yup. But there are many more K-line ships coming through, and the Track and Trace thing only works if your MINI gets on a WW ship.

Here's the K-Line schedule: http://www.kline.com/KAMCarCarrier/S...g_Schedule.pdf
The Michigan Highway did a pick up from South Hampton on 5/31 (Saturday), would dock in Brunswick, GA on the 13th. You may have gone on that one, and it'd disappear into a tracking blackhole like Chris' did.

Mine is on the way to GA on the Columbia Highway (K-line). It appears that the tracking thread is out of date and both WW and K-line service Brunswick.

Oh no!
While I have enjoyed your boat stalking, it sucks you weren't on it. Nice you aren't far behind though. Toreador is currently in port at Manzanillo with status of "stopped".
Would be fun to go to Hussong's Cantina. Bit far of a drive for me though.

Morning Chant has docked in Port Hueneme.
As you well know I have followed her and posted relentlessly for the past two weeks.
BUT
I was informed today that my Mini was not aboard Morning Chant, as I was initially told by BMW. I was bumped to Tombarra, a vessel that left a week later than Morning Chant.
Many individuals here have been commenting about the vagaries of the process, this may be the epitome.
Tombarra has cleared the Canal and is on her way up the Pacific Coast.
I may go to Hussong's Cantina, in Ensenada Mexico, and watch Tombarra pass.
Anyone else on Tombarra?
Anyone for Hussong's?

I am in the same boat as you. My mini was born on 5/23 and at port on 5/26. I live in GA so I am not sure if it was come in at the port of Charleston or Brunswick. I called this morning and both the human and computer tells me it hasn't even been scheduled to ship. I hope it just isn't updated yet. I will let you know if I find out anything.

Hey Guys -
I found tracking WW ships with marine traffic and Mrdi's ship stalking skills was best for me, BUT my MA likes to use and gave us www.vesselfinder.com.
I just tried it with Columbia Highway, and it came up with a map position. So, not sure if it will work better with your K-Line ships, but you might want to give it a try. Happy Ship Stalking!

Got my car today. MCS, 6 speed manual. Very exciting. The 30-mile drive home was awesome. Can't wait to go to work tomorrow cuz it's a 40-mile drive. I can confirm the car feels nothing like my old 2003 Justa.... and for that I'm thankful.
