Unfortunately my ship is going to the East Coast. I have thought of jacking into Pentagon's spy satellite to find my ship and may be even to get a gleams of my Mini on board.

Ordered Today

Just ordered our 2005 Mini Convertible S. Due in September. I hope they are right before the Cleveland weather turns sour. Bought the New Cool Blue with Blue top and Dark Blue Leather interior. Saw the brochure and it looked awesome.

Anyone else on the Bellona? Cannot locate it anywhere. It is definetly a ghost ship and it does not belong with WW or Kline. At least OL states we are awaiting transport now. I will tcheck the Coast Guard site as well.

Talking about ghost ships, the Caribbean Highway is also a ghost ship. I can guesstimate where it is, but is definately does not show up anywhere that we have access to. Oh well, I guess I won't worry too much unless we get news of another car carrier going down :smile:

On a side note, I ordered my first go fast part last night. Ordered the K & N filter that has been discussed in the hot air intake thread. Yay!

Thanks!

Hmmmm...I am scheduled to go to Kansas City on the 28-29...the MINI drop top will be at the KC dealer on the 29th...I wonder what my chances would be that my car would be in KC the same time I am? I can tell you right now what will happen...I will get a phone call Friday afternoon saying my car is in and ready to go!

hjacobs, looks like you are the expert on locating ships. How does one find a "ghost ship." I have been looking all over for the Bellona and cannot locate any information. I do not have the name of the shipping line. I have tried to find out info from Southampton, but I am not having any luck. I have checked the Coast Guard site and Oceanweather (call letters 3FEA4). I viewed the WW site tonight and now it says that it cannot locate cargo information. Friday it showed that we were scanned at the terminal. HELP!!!!!!

track by boat?

My Mini is on its way to the port for the voyage to Fla. How do I find out what boat its on and how to track it. Can I assume that it will go to SC and not NJ.

tracking

Hi:
Where in So. Fla are you? :smile: I live in So Fla too.

WHen your car arrives at the port of Southampton to be shipped, you can check the WW site, go to check by AUTO, enter you Vin# and that should tell you.

If after a few days it doesn't show up there, it may be on a different shipping line, check with your dealer at that point. Here is the site to check WW, hope it helps!
