Congratulations! Enjoy the process (although I remember the agony of the wait all too well). You'll be motoring in no time

Have fun memorizing all the relevant numbers (ASK MINI, VIN number, then your ship's call sign, etc.)

Released to Carrier

Mine went from "in the paint shop" to "released to carrier" (ASK MINI) this morning Estimated production completion 3/08/05 so it's on schedule.

The OL web page is still on "scheduled for production" ...

Curious to see what ship it'll be loaded onto for west coast delivery.

Hopefully it's a ship that you can track!

Hey, congratulations! I couldn't find a March Build Thread so I made one HERE! My MINI's waiting anxiously in England, trying to book passage.

What I've learned - WW, KLine

So my car is going to the west coast and while I'd read somewhere that Kline = west coast, on the actual K Line site, the route maps show east coast only. WW does show the west coast deliver and so it appears that I *should* be able to track.

Now where does the information come of which ship? The OL seems to be far from up to date. The WW (& K Line) sites both have lists of schedules, including auto transport. I guess it's just track on your VIN once a day and eventually it'll hit - any experience?

On the WW site, you can track your VIN once and it'll give you the complete schedule, and then you can check back once in awhile to see if the boat has been delayed anywhere. No idea about the K Line site.
