It should be WW, it's going to the west coast VDC

 

Just looked again, it looks like there are 191 other MINIs on board with me

 

I just called and found out my mini is at the port!

 

i'm on there with you!!!

congrats..................now the wait is going to be even longer!!!

 

at least I have a hard date now....well, kind of. Said it should be in SC on the 28th. The wait from there to Dallas is what's going to get me

 

yea i'm in alabama and my dealership is in tennessee and my dealership is 8 1/2 hours away from Charleston, SC.

salty how did you find out the date it's suppose to make it to Charleston, SC and the number of minis that's on that ship??

thanks for any info!

 

My MINI is at the port...but I can't find its ship yet. WW is still not recognizing my VIN. Hopefully, since mine was ordered through MINI of Charleston--I will be on a Charleston bound ship.

 

ok, I finally got my booking info, she's on the Tarifa!

 

I just found out that my mini is booked on Tarifa! Now the long wait begins.

Is anyone getting an Ipod adapter? Is this something the dealer must install? I was thinking I should call them so it gets ordered and installed before I pick it up.

 

On the page it loads up after you enter in your VIN you can click on the Voyage Number. I found it by just roaming the mouse around at it popped up as a link, so I clicked it and it says the ports and dates of the voyage. As far as finding out the others on the ship I searched again using the 'booking number'

Here's my latest info

it's left the port at southampton UK so it's on it's way!!!

 

I can safely bet that my MINI didnt make the Integrity. Here's hoping it might be on another line. My VIN doesn't get me any tracking information from WW. I hate thinking that my MINI is hanging out just waiting for me on the other side of the OCEAN!

 

if it's not showing up on the WW site then it's not on the Integrity, so hopefully you will make the next ship.

 

Join the club! I am a Wk 27er and was stuck on the dock until I left with you all on the INTEGRITY. I guess you Wk 28ers are pretty cool. My MINI is the elder on the boat, though. Your MINIs better listen to your big brother and behave on the journey. Not too much acting up from all you youngins!

She is away (just checked AISLive). Fortunately, I am only 3 hrs from Chas, SC. See you in port!!!

 

I'm jealous! However, I am less than 2 hours from Charleston...so one day soon...

 

I'm at the port too....geez, this is nerve-wracking!!! I missed all this with my current MINI (which I'm keeping)....bought it off the showroom floor. Hope tomorrow brings more news.

 

The next WW ship is not due at port until 07.18--which means my poor MINI will have been waiting a week(!) at port to get on a ship if she's going WW. I have no hope of understanding KLine's schedule..lots of colored arrows and ship names running across the page.

I wonder if MINIUsa understands the agonizing that we have waiting on these cars?!

 

There are actually three shipping companies that Mini uses, WW http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do, NYK http://www2.nykline.com/home/index.html and K Lines http://www.kline.com/

 

That's a bummer...not til the 18th? I don't see a way to track on the other 2 lines...just WW.

 

I checked the schedules for the other two lines--NYK is down and has "communication errors", and KLine looks like they have a ship headed to Southamton on the 17th...its a wait either way.

 

No you know the pain and agony I went thru this past week waiting at the dock. It's terrible to just miss the boat. I feel for you. Never fear: It will be here soon enough.

 

Yes--but soon enough is not right now! I've never been a patient person--the last car I bought I walked in and said this is what I want...find it...6 hours later it was on its way home from Atlanta. Of course, that was a Ford.

I can't imagine if I was on the west coast and had to wait months!

 

Well, life has changed on the West Coast since Nov of 03 when I bought our first pair of MINIs. Back then it was the $2,500 over MSRP that drove me east to Classic MINI in Ohio. Now it's the earlier production date available.

Two local dealers (now charging MSRP) only had late Aug and mid Sept production, so I returned to Classic. The car was in the paint shop yesterday, heading to assembly.

Hoping that it will reach Classic by the end of August as I'm booked for a fly and drive over Labor Day weekend. What's a paltry 2,400 miles when you can get your MINI six weeks early !

 

Good thinking!!!!! A road trip included!! I ordered my 2nd car from Cincy MINI on 2 July and she's at the port awaiting a ship as we speak. Fast!! Cincy MINI rocks!!!!!! Great folks, great service!!!!
