We are on the Terrier too --- I made a joke that our car was on a dog!

I believe that finemedic, I, and others have been placed on another carrier. I have not been able to find out any details, nor was my MA. If anybody else whose tracking number disappeared has any info please share it!

 

My car is done with production, I called ASK MINI and was able to get my VIN number. Went to the shipping site but can't seem to track the car Does it normally take some time? I was supposed to be finished with production on Feb 26th so i assume that's when it finished. Hopefully i get on the Resolve. I'm picking up from Classic and need to figure out a approximate time for delivery as I'll have to book my flight down. Arrggh the wait is killing me!

It's possible that the car hasn't made it to Southampton yet. If it has, then according to W&W, it's weekly service to the US from Southampton... Next departure is Wednesday on the Terrier

 

BTW in case you haven't seen it... This is the W&W "waiting room" for MINIs going to sea. These pictures were taken September 11, 2004 (so don't go looking for your car!) from the deck of the Queen Mary 2.

Are you sure? I'm absolutely CERTAIN I am spotting my car there, fourth row over... oh, wait, it has already landed in NY, on Saturday... ! Guess I am losing it...

 

I'm positive, only because I was the one standing on the deck of the Queen Mary 2 taking the picture!

 

Then you have but confirmed, my decent into madness...!

 

It's the wait for the car... Does strange things to ya!

 

You can say that again.... ..Booked on the Resolve

 

Does anyone have any info on the whereabouts of the Carmen? It seems to have disappeared into the Panama Canal on Feb 25th and I haven't seen it since on either oceanweather.com or sailwx.info.

 

Good question. I'm just guessing that it put into port at Panama for refueling. Should be out by now and cruising in the Pacific, it seems to me. WW still has it due into Pt. Hueneme on 5 March.

 

That wait is so worth it!!!!! This car gets better and better every mile. The transmission smoooth shifts yet crisp (yes it is possible) Power delivery smooth and great... the exhaust note droooool. Burble burble.

The sunroof feature is the coolest things ever. I will write a more detailed review in time. This snow has me bummed out that Hammond is holed up in the garage. Can't wait for spring!

Here are a few shots from the weekend. Follow link to my album.

Don't make me have to break out the pictures of my current MINI buried in 23 inches of snow...

Didn't GBMINI2 get brought home in a snowstorm?

Don't be afraid of the snow!

 

No ... it was at least a week before GBMINI#2 first met snow (and this is the pic from the you-ification booklet)

This time it looks like GBMINI#3 might be delivered in snow

 

According to my MA Amy in cincy my Purple Haze MCS has arrived in Charleston...Possible delivery in at Cincinnati Mini this FRIDAY!

 

Lets see!!

anyone know where the VIRGO LEADER is? It looks like it left Southampton on the 2/25, at 23:50. The WW site does not show any voyage details..

 

DAM! Since noon on 2-25, my car has been sitting at the dock! I looked up the booking number, and MOST of the 80+ cars are NOT loaded on to the ship... what is taking so long?! When I look up the ship schedule, this ship is not even listed! BAH! What is going on?!

Doug

 

CapWKidd: I show that 157 cars are already loaded on the VIRGO LEADER..

I ran a google search and found this..

http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache...o+leader&hl=en

"Date Published: Friday 25 February 2005
Today's Principal Arrivals:
Virgo Leader, roro, 0300, 43

Today's Principal Sailings:
Virgo Leader, roro, 2350, 202."

Also the following from a google search..

"Portsmouth Today: News, Sport, Jobs, Property, Cars ...
... COMMERCIAL, SOUTHAMPTON: Friday: MOL Progress (in 0330); Bunga Raya Satu (in 0400,out 2200); Virgo Leader (in 0400, out 2359)"


So.. I'm assuming that the ship has left Southampton.

 

Found this interesting PDF with lots of info about the Carmen, http://www.walleniuslines.com/doc_upload/7Carmen.pdf

 

Mine was finished on 2-23 and is still sitting on the dock.

 

Ok, I have looked on:
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/cruiseships.phtml
http://www.oceanweather.com/

For Call sign H3YE, which is what I understand the call sign if for the Virgo Leader, according to web site, that I have now lost the link for (bah) .... Ok, ocean weather is the only one where I can find any info, but, looking at all those call signs on the screen I can not find it, and I can not see to find a search function...

Edit: found the data for the Virgo Leader:
