Hey. My little MINI is flowing so quickly through the system I'm always one step behind.

Called ASK-MINI yesterday and we were still 160, released for distribution. This morning I check the WW site and we've been assigned to a ship (the AIDA), loaded abord and the "vessel has sailed". Schedule is to be in NYC on January 17th!!!

Looks like I slipped on to the same ship as TMAC!

Wooo Hooo!

Hello, All!
My baby has made it to the docks- status 193 as of yesterday! Now, I need to wait for my ship assignment. The advisor at askMINI said it could take a week to get scheduled. What has been the experience of others ahead of me? Inquiring minds want to know!!

go to

http://www.2wglobal.com

select cargo tracking and enter the last seven of your vin. If you are at the port you should be assigned a ship. You will either be booked or waitlisted.

I must have just made the boat- it's listed as departed! I hope my Mini got a nice stateroom with a terrace... I wonder whose Minis will be joining it at dinner in the dining room?

Wactuary,

Same status as you are:

1/24 estimated build date, but no VIN yet.

Will think positively and hope that they start our cars early.

You beat me by 21 minutes! Let's just hope for a smooth run through the VPC, or is it VDC? I have heard that some folks have been stuck there for quite a while.

Interesting. ASKMINI told me today that my MINI is on the train to Southhampton. But then I checked http://www.2wglobal.com and it says my MINI is on the Aida. Which one should I trust?

Hiya Digi!
I know how you feel... My MINI sat at status 150 from 12/16 through 1/3. It progresses really fast once they get going. Hang in there! :smile:

Here's what I did- as advised here, I went to the shipping company's site:

http://www.2wglobal.com/WEP/WEP.jsp

Then went to "cargo tracking". Select "auto", then enter the last 7 characters of your VIN. It gives you the loading info. From that page, click on the link for "voyage" (EA301-AID) and it gives the following info:

VESSEL: AIDA VOYAGE: EA301-AID
Port Country Arrival Departure
BREMERHAVEN GERMANY 31/12/2002 04/01/2003
ZEEBRUGGE BELGIUM 05/01/2003 06/01/2003
SOUTHAMPTON UNITED KINGDOM 07/01/2003 08/01/2003
NEW YORK, NY U.S.A. 17/01/2003 17/01/2003
BALTIMORE, MD U.S.A. 20/01/2003 21/01/2003
BRUNSWICK, GA U.S.A. 23/01/2003 23/01/2003
CHARLESTON,SC U.S.A. 24/01/2003 24/01/2003

Vessel has Sailed.

So, here's a toast to the mighty SS AIDA- may she have calm seas and a smooth voyage!

Looks like those going to the West Coast are on the Jupiter Diamond.
So far bunkmates are MINICD and Checkerstripe.
I'm shaking with excitement
