I Have a VIN - Now What?

I am a week 40 build and I just got my VIN from the dealer.

So now what? What additional info does the VIN get me? How long before the owner's lounge page updates to show completion of car, etc.?

Tracking your Mini

With your VIN, you can track your car on the Shipping website after it leaves the factory. Most all Minis come over on Wallenius Wihlemsen Lines.

Here is the link to the website I found elsewhere on NAM, that explained how to track your mini once it leaves the factory. Until it leaves the factory, I think you have to rely on the "Owners Lounge" website at Mini.

I have my VIN and the OL just changed my status to en route (yeah!) but I can't find my car on the WW site. Is it being shipped by another carrier?
