No sure what is up with the site but this morning it was not working at all. Now is show 2 things when I type in my Vin# "Returned to shipper" and "Loaded on Vessel" . There is no vessel or booking number. I can only assume if it is in fact 'Loaded" then it is on the Carmen. Fingers crossed!

 

That is what happened with my booking. If I clicked on the "Loaded on Vessel" line, it showed the time of update, and on a separate section showed the vessel name and several other bits of information, including ETA.

I am guessing that your car made it aboard

 

Yep. Clicked on Southampton and it displays the ship (Carmen) and the booking # (120 cars). Carmen is already at sea! I'm so happy the car (the second JCW I've ordered) is finally on its way!

 

CONGRATULATIONS, GregoryK

Both of our cars are scheduled to arrive on the 27th!

 

Hey, GregoryK, Carmen is already approaching Halifax this morning

 

oldsbear. Thanks for the heads up. I looked this morning. 150 nautical miles. 10 or 12 hours! Very exciting. Where is yours?

 

I have not yet seen the Tonsberg. AIS coverage does not extend very far around the Port of Baltimore.

 

That's tough as the Tonsberg does not use World Meteorological Organization's program of voluntary at-sea weather reporting like the Carmen.o
I'm sure it will be on port tomorrow like the Carmen!

 

On the dock in Canada! (Discharged).

 

Is the VDC at the Halifax port? How long is the trip to your dealer?

Twenty-five of eighty-nine have been discharged from Tonsberg...

 

My MINI reached Baltimore on Friday and has been working its way through customs and inspection. My MA said that there's a very strong chance it will be at the factory today.

Hurry up, 5pm!

 

It's a wonderful/terrible wait

You are fortunate to be so close to the port. Your MINI is practically home already!

 

Except that I want to drive to the port and follow the truck all the way to the dealership, making sure no other cars get anywhere near my MINI...

That comment got a pretty serious eye roll from my wife last night. She doesn't understand.

 

UNDERSTOOD

The one I am waiting for is our fourth MINI, so my wife is quite familiar with my obsession

My frustration now is that the Tonsberg has moved to a different berth, ACROSS THE RIVER from the BMW terminal

I am imagining the Tonsberg setting sail tomorrow with my baby STILL ABOARD!

 

oh yeh...and has you go around the Atlantic again till the ship finally returns. Don't even go there! On my car the web updates were well behind. Mine was not "discharged" till after the ship left port....

 

Jeez, this car better be 100% good. If what happened to you had happened to me I'd probably be in jail for dealer assault lol!

 

I just hope they did the recall "updated rear foam" bits when it was made. I would hate to think the deal had to rip the back out to do that update before I take delivery!

 

It's worse than that! Tonsberg has a couple more stops in the USA, then Panama, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, and China. Maybe by 2017...

And now a tropical storm/hurricane is headed up the US East Coast! Please, oh please, get my baby on a truck headed for Iowa

 

yep. won't get much for a left hand drive in New Zealand!!

 

 

She's off the boat! (Sorry, New Zealand

 

1 Sept 2015 I ordered my new 2016 JWC
7 Sept they gave me my production number
23 Sept the dealership emailed me it was scheduled to be built on 7 Oct 2015 and that after that I should have it in 5 - 6 weeks, so it's looking like some time in Nov.
