No, the status just went to "Awaiting Transport." Thanks for the info. I just want to be sure it's at the dealer by the end of August for the fly/drive that we've planned. Should be no problem with 40 days to go..............

That is part of the problem....ASK MINI and OL don't stay current and my MA says he has no new info. It seems if you aren't on a WW ship you're "sunk". I have "guestimated" the possible ships but officially the tail-enders of week 28 are sitting on the dock. I think I have 2 new gray hairs!!!! Hey Blu, any news on your end? I checked WW again but I'm convinced we aren't WW.

Please don't say "sunk" when you talk about MINI transports across the ocean! Makes me nervous

Charleston - great town. Hope to be there in my new MINI in August. I'll be the MCS CR/B with the sport stripes!

Sorry, but if your production completed the 11th and you are not getting a WW hit, then you must be on the K Line EMDEN. With K Line is all about reasoning and deduction, though. Good luck. Dont worry, though. Being in Charleston, you will still get yours ahead of pretty much everyone else, including us on the INTEGRITY!

INTEGRITY ETA: The WW site and voyage # indicates it is due into NY on the 22nd, then, Baltimore, then Charleston on the 27th.

The Port of Charleston website gives an arrival date of the 29th.

A 2 day discrepancy. We'll see when she arrives into NY. Hopefully, the WW site is the correct one!

I am happy to say my prediction (based on doing this for the third time) is wrong. The car is on some vessel (MA said computer was down) due in the 27th. The car will get here when it gets here and not much before.

Sounds like we're all on the EMDEN and she is getting close......has to stop in Baltimore first. I feel better now. Too bad we can't all be waiting at the dock to watch the unloading. Here is the tracking site if anyone wants to track it: [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...tml?call=3ERP5[/SIZE][/FONT]

That is correct, they are slow to update so it will take a few days for it to show as En Route, but when it does, you should be able to make that education deduction as to which ship it is on. Remember, Mini uses three carries not just WW. The only people that are guaranteed a ride via WW are the West Coast folks as only WW serves us.

Yes, your MA should be able to provide the ship name and ETA for you once the ship has left Southampton. You may have to pester him/her a bit but they should be able to look it up in their system. If your Mini isn't on a WW ship, that is really the only way to absolutely confirm what ship it is on as it comes across the Atlantic. The method I've posted is only a way to make an educated deduction as to what ship it is on. In previous weeks there have been people who never did get an ETA listed for them in the OL so making that deduction isn't always possible.

Mine OL changed today, which given the typical lag time I've been seeing...I'm going to keep on watching the Emden. MA said he would check on the status--so its all good...what a b-day present to know FOR SURE my baby is on her way home!
