Here's a general subject line for anyone wishing to post info on the ships and cargo tracking info. My MINI Cooper has boarded the "Trianon" this morning in Southampton U.K.! Anyone else's precious cargo aboard the Trianon? Here's a link to a site with pictures of many ships including the Trianon and others such as the Falstaff Just something to pass the time.

TminiS, lets hope our ship has smooth seas and wards off any attacks by MINI PIRATES!!

Any idea what her call sign might be?

Supposedly we can track the ships on http://www.oceanweather.com I'm not sure how to do this but I understand we need a call sign first. Also, according to other posts, we'll only become aware of it's coordinates if it hits inclement weather or those MINI pirates that I mentioned earlier.

BTW, check this out.. I mentioned to a buddy of mine, who is a web designer, that my MINI was on it's way aboard a ship. Well he came up with this FLASH movie during his lunch break. Too funny! (turn up your speakers).

You can look up the call sign on the coast guard site.
If I did it right, the call sign is:
WM7445

I'm one of the last cars to get on the Trianon!

Hope I'm still there when she leaves port!
