My MA found the info for me. I shipped out yesterday on K-LINE ship FRISIA arriving in Charleston on Feb 7. Looks like I might take delivery pretty near initial release. Here's for a warm, sunny day to open up the sunroof and crank the stereo.

FRISIA, eh? I'll have to do some research on the ship. Thanks for finding out--I have an email in to Art, but haven't heard from him yet.

Google K-line shipping and you can find their site. I found the schedule there. Can't find online tracking. If you do, let me know.

I can't find a photo.

There is online tracking, but it's not showing up yet. Try:

According to the automated ASK-MINI, my MINI is finally in transit. Of course I don't know what ship, or for that matter even where it's going to be dropped. I would think New York because it's going to Pittsburgh. I guess I'll wait until later and talk to a human.

Don Juan is well on the way to NY via Halifax then points south.

He's now showing up on Sailwx where you can track the progress as you wish.

Scheduled to be in NY on the 2nd I think, so we'll have 2 full weeks to get them before launch. That should be enough time?

OK, so I might get flamed over this, but my last 5 numbers are 83884 (if you really want ot do evil things with that VIN number, shame on you), so I don't know if we are together or not for the guys with the lower numbers. I would think 93 is right there with mine...

that's right... didn't even notice! hmmm, wonder if I was just a few cars in back of you in production . anyway, my MA doesn't have any status yet. he said he will call when he has vessel information. i'm hoping we get on the carmen on 1/29. or maybe sooner on a non WW ship. cross your fingers all you west coasters!

Wow Randy; mine was built a few cars before yours! We'll probably be picking up both our cars on Feb. 17th, provided they don't get stuck at the Vehicle Prison Center getting the bonnet forever re-aligned!
