Waiting for your Mini, got your VIN and awaiting transport in the owners lounge??????? Perhaps it on the Taipan with mine........:impatient Hope the link works....

I'm on the Taipan. This morning shows that my MINI is loaded. Cool.

 

Im also on the Taipan and my car was also loaded this morning. Cant wait until it sets sail!

 

It seems my MCS wants to stay in the UK abit longer ... Looks like its going to be on a different ship docking on 2/08....perhaps the Mini gods have had a conversation with that damn groundhog(in PA) and I have 6 more weeks of waiting....... :impatient

 

OCG - Sorry to hear your car didnt make the ship. I hope it makes the next one!

Apparently the Taipan is not reporting its location, I cant find a record of it yet and dont know how to find its call sign. Help?

 

^ Is anyone else on the Taipan? Maybe its just me but I have been unable to track the ship on the WW site. Im hoping someone else has had better luck or some advice on tracking. Thanks!

 

Sweet! Another shipload of MINIs has headed across the Atlantic!

 

I'm there with 'ya (hopefully).

MINIUSA and 866-ASK-MINI aren't jiving for me right now.

Web site says I'm "Sceduled For Production"

Phone system says "Production is complete" and awaiting transport to the shipper.

 

I've been checking the WW website. It still shows arrival at Charleston on 2/14. Maybe it will show up on the aislive website when it nears the coast.

 

Im hoping the same thing

 

I just checked the WW website and it is now scheduled to arrive in New York on 2/9, a day earlier than previously scheduled. Maybe our MINIs will arrive in Charleston early. Wouldn't that be nice.

 

That would be very nice! Charleston is only down the road from Atlanta, maybe Ill even get it a few days earlier. Im not even going to get my hopes up though. Thanks for the update!

 

Good news. The Taipan is now scheduled to arrive in Charleston on 2/13.

 

Looks like my mini was loaded today on the TOMBARRA....... any guess on the time it takes to cross to East Coast???? I'm guessing it goes to Port Newark, NJ. My dealer is located outside of Philly..........

 

It took the Taipan 7-8 days to reach NY, next stop is Baltimore which adds another 2 days.

WW has the Taipan docking today in NY and also leaving to go to B'more today as well. Interestingly, it hasnt turned red indicating that it has left the port in NY yet. I wonder if its late. I looked on AIS Live and cant find the ship anywhere.

 

Finally found the Taipan on the aislive website. Heading South from New York.

 

It looks like it has already left Baltimore and is on its way to Charleston. I saw it on aislive last night but havent been able to find it since.

 

More good news. According to the Port of Charleston website, Taipan is scheduled to arrive in Charleston today.

 

It looks like our cars have arrived and are being unloaded

 

OL is now showing my MINI at the VDC with an estimated delivery date of 2/20. My MA thinks it may be earlier.

How about anyone else?

 

Mini's website finally updated for me overnight saying it is at the VDC and estimated delivery date is 2/18 but they are closed that day. I have a call in to my MA to double check the progress of my car since the website is typically behind on things.
