Go to this web address http://213.31.205.37/GLWebApps.AppTracking
Click on Auto
Type in the last 5 of your VIN number (should be TC and 5 numbers)
You will see what ship you are booked on and the sailing schedule of the ship

Now you get to watch your MINI with the rest of us!! You just might go nuts like me.

The CARMEN has left Radicatel, France and is now heading for Bremerhaven, Germany!!!!! Sail carefully, Carmen! Oh wait, it doesn't have sails.

Anyway, there will be 425 other MINIs on the boat with mine. Is that a normal size load? At that rate, there will soon be a lot of very happy MINIacs in the States.

I thought I should add that the Carmen hasn't arrived at Southampton yet, so there are no MINIs on board. I'm just so obsessed that I want to track the ship every step of the way!

Thanks for the information on tracking our Mini.

I plugged in the info and the page kept resetting itself...so I figure it is still sitting on the dock unbooked...

But I'll keep checking back!

I'm still showing removed from the Carmen. I was booked and recieved at the terminal on 4/2 but it shows removed.

First I was waitlisted and now it keeps saying I'm removed.
What the heck??

Yesterday ASK-MINI said my EB/B MCS will be finished on the 11th tomorrow (friday). What are my chances of making it onto the Carmen?

Oh, Hi everyone. I'm hoping to be a May Club Member. I've been quietly waiting since August when I put down my deposit for a electric blue / black top / MCS. bonnet stripes, premium package, cold weather package, foglights, anthracite trim, lapis blue leather and HK sound. :smile: :smile: The weather is finally turning nice and I can't wait to motor.

EPilot,
That's a kick in the pants! Wonder why it was removed? Maybe it's just an error of some sort. Seems funny to remove a vehicle once it has its booking onboard.

Hope it's just a glitch and you'll get your Mini across the pond with the rest of us.

w00t! Finally, my car's been booked on the CARMEN -- glad it'll get to play with the other kids on the party boat! I think, though, that somebody needs to install a supercharger on the boat, so it'll get here faster

Bird, Sure hope we make it on the Carmen. If I understand correctly we still have to catch a train to get to the docks. Then once at the docks we get assigned our vessel. It will be close to make it on the Carmen before it leaves port. Hope they don't closed down for Saturday or Sunday. If we end up sitting at any one of the spots for a day we'll have to take the next boat.

Mine finished production on friday the 4th and was recieved at the terminal this past monday the 7th. Either they work on the weekend or it doesn't take long to get to the terminal from the factory. The Carmen isn't expected until the 14th so I'm sure others finished this week could make it to the boat in time.

Nigel was loaded aboard the ISOLDE at Southampton docks at 3:47p UK time today... about three hours ago as I write... we sail tonight for California. I love it when a plan comes together.

PDXMini, did you make it aboard?

Congrats Bear!!

Where did you get your info from? At the cargo tracking site I still show a *Cargo is in Waitlist status - ASK MINI could not tell me the status other than what I see on the site and my MA is not available today.

I show Booked on the 2nd and Received at the dock on the 4th, but that's it.

I'm feeling a little lef out here with everyone talking about which ship their MINI is sailing on and wondering about my May delivery. My status changed to Awaiting Production on the MINI Owners Lounge yesterday so I called ASk MINI and they said that it is just waiting around to start production. There wasn't much elaboration except to say that they did minor things and that it wouldn't really get going until the week of the April 25. I did finally get a VIN though. Are all of you guys left coasters? ....nothing wrong with that, spent most of my life in San Diego. Maybe since I am on the East Coast now and it is an easier/shorter sail, I can still expect to see it in May.

The Wallenius-Wilhelmsen cargo tracking site reports my car was "loaded on vessel"... and when I click on the "Voyage Number" up top the Southampton line now appears in red, indicating the ISOLDE has sailed for the States. Hope you're on there too.
