yes, I'm week 27 my build finished Tuesday. You can track the shipping here: https://offices.2wglobal.com/offices...ckSearchResult. I put the VIN on the cargo ID section.


I'm on the Carmen. Any shipmates out there?

 

Wow your car got to the port and onto a boat already?

 

Maybe I am reading it wrong. What does everyone else's status say? It states all the information including vessel name and ETA.


Actually, now I checked it and it states 'returned to shipper'. that does not sound good.


has anyone else checked?

 

Wallenius says Carmen left Southhampton earlier today heading for Panama with an ETA of July 25 at Port Hueneme.

 

Sailorlite, are you on the ship?

 

You can track it on the ship tracking sites. You'll see the ship about until it reaches the Azores then it will disappear until it reaches Puerto Rico.

 

Wow MINI is much faster to get on a boat than my BMWs were!

Looks like mine was loaded up today and left on the ENDURANCE

ETA of 7/13 to BALTIMORE. Awesome!

 

I hate you all! Mine was completed June 24th and is still waiting for a ship.

 

I think our cars swapped places. I've had a complete date of July 4 all along until this morning. Called this morning and I'm in the paint shop but with a new complete date of July 7. *sigh*

 

becky1711 I still by your side. Paint Shop and July 7th. At least our new Minis have each other. We are so close for this long journey. I hope you are okay with Hurricane Arthur

 

I was hoping you snuck through, but glad you're still with me. Yes, all's well here regarding Arthur, thanks. I'm in central NC and just west of all the action - one rain squall and called it a day. The coast is another story. As for our MINIs, I look at this way - they will get their "soul" put in at the beginning of the work week instead of the end. Maybe that will be a good thing? My Dad always said that you don't want a car built on a Friday or a Monday, but we were going to get one or the other either way.

 

That is true about Mon and Fri
However our main production was on Thursday and hopefully they are just doing quality test on Monday. There is a ship that leaves July 13th hopefully we will be on that one if not we have to wait for July 18th

 

Looks like the next ship that goes to CA is on 15th. That is 12 days of wasted time:/

 

That's what I'm hoping. My current car registration expires Aug 15, so I need to sell before then to avoid the costs of inspection, registration and personal property tax for the sake of a couple weeks.

 

No hate allowed in our week 27 thread I mean, you're not even a week 27 member -- perhaps that's the issue

In any event, a lot probably depends on where you're car needs to go. For example, the cars going to CA have ships that leave every two weeks. So depending on day you get finished, the day or two to get to the port and then make it on a ship could be a bit over two weeks. So, June 24th to today is only 10 days. My build finished July 2, and I think I'll be on the ship departing July 16, so I've got a 14 day build to ship wait.

 

Thankfully mine is going to Georgia and there is a new ship about every 3-6 days. I've missed 2 ships. Hopefully I won't miss the one leaving on the 6th.

 

It's a boy! VIN shows up at last and all his fingers and toes are accounted for. Birth---uh---production date: 04.07.2014

 

me too

 

I got too cocky, new status today said it was sent back to shipper.

 

No matter how much tracking and tracing I do, I don't see my completed '15 MCS on the Carmen which sailed July 3 from Southampton.

The next Port Hueneme ship departs Southampton July 15 and arrives August 6 (the Elektra, voy. no. CD428-ELX).

Unless, that is, there's a carrier other than Wallenius. But I don't think there is.

 

I expect to be on the same ship. Build completed 7/2.

 

I just called Mini USA and it is ready to be release for transport

 

I just called and got "vehicle is being transported to the port of exit."

 

My is still ready but transport yet
I guess I will be on the next one.
Hopefully there is enough room and time for both of us on the same cruise. Have far is the factory to the port?

 

Build buddy, how could they separate us? It's also possible we're not separated at all and it's just computer lag.

If I'm googling and converting correctly, Oxford to Southhampton is about 67 miles. I'm sure there are plenty of cars waiting in front of us and you're on the way right behind me if not actually still with me, so I think we will still be shipmates.
