Hey, just a question here...my Mini has been "en route" since 1/17 or so. I haven't been able to track it on the WW site. I really don't want to bug my dealer about it either. Any tips from anyone? My vin ends with 83655...does that show on a list with anyone else? I guess I don't even really know where it would be going; I live in Minnesota. Anyone out there close to me? I hope it's not going through CA. Any replies would be appreciated...

I was amazed at how many ships there are though! And through this thread, I actually recognize some of them - the Freedom and Liberty are mid-Atlantic now, and the Don Juan is almost to shore.

Go Freedom!

My wife's is on the Integrity. It should be in Charleston by now. Her VIN ends in 83728. We live in Shakopee. Motorwerks says she should be driving her MCS on 2-17. Be on the lookout for a pepper white & black MCS.

The original on my end was bigger but it got resized adding it as an attachment. Maybe part of the new limits being enforced?

My VIN ends in 83625 and my car is "EN ROUTE". I have not been able to track my voyage across the pond, but I have been lurking at other post of voyages and I must be close to Charleston Port or have already unloaded.
I am waiting for my Pepper White/BLack Cooper S with Rooster Red Leather/Black cloth and Rooster Red colorline and Chrome line exterior.

Don Juan! It is slated to be in NYC on 2 Feb. I'm hoping the cars will make it to the VPC, out and on to the dealer by launch.

Same here. On AIS live you can see the Don Juan tag pointing to the scrum that is the Port of Elizabeth.

What is the next step for tracking? I guess the VDC does not allow you to track the progress through their steps.

At this point it's best to call your dealer - from what I've heard from my MA - it looks like they'll start releasing priority cars from the VDC to the dealers on 2/15 for arrival on President's day weekend. For me that's good, that means I may actually have a car by 2/20-21.

Looks like the Freedom has been delayed one day getting into NY, 2/5 instead of 2/4.

Still scheduled to leave on 2/5 though.

Cannot find her on any tracking sites....

I'm getting slightly impatient - but nothing we can do until launch weekend and then there's no guarantee when the cars will make it from the VDC to the Dealer. The good news the VDC is only four hours from the dealership.

I got two reports (from my MA and another owner) that the ship our cars are on went into Charleston yesterday--apparently a change in schedule. If it's true that puts us in reach of the 17th! Sure hope it is true...

My husband is taunting me with images of my car getting damaged by the crane, falling, etc.
