My car was completed on the 4th but it hasn't shown up on the WW tracking site yet. The automated phone thing has been saying the "released to a carrier" line for a few days now. Should I be set up for a ship or at least be on the tracking site by now? I'm on the west coast.
Ours was completed on the 3rd and made it to the dock on the 5th - but missed the Asian Emperor departure. We are now scheduled for the Turandot which departs on Monday the 11th.
Click on "Auto Cargo". Enter your VIN number in the "Cargo ID" box and click the "Track" button. You will see the "Cargo Status History". Copy the "Booking Number" and click on "Track By / Booking Number". Paste your booking number in the "Booking Number" box and click the "Track" button. Find your VIN number in the list. This will give your car's status at the dock - booked, received at terminal or loaded on ship. Right now it is likely to be only "received at terminal".
The Turandot is scheduled to arrive in Southampton on Monday the 11th. On Monday keep checking the status of your car to see if it has been loaded. If the ship departs and your car does not show as loaded, then it has been left behind for the next ship heading to the West Coast on the 18th.
Good Luck! I hope you can join us on the Turandot!
No tracking info for me either. Funny how our songs have gone:
2003-2007 "Wishin' and Hopin"
01/24/08 on order, "Beyond the Sea"
02/07/08 waiting for transport "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay"
02/08/08 "Our Day Will Come"
My Mini was supposedly finished on the 7th, and the AskMini automated line says it has now been released to a carrier and awaits transportation to the Port. I am on the East Coast, and when I asked my MA on Friday, he said to expect 4 weeks from the time the car was finished in production to the time I could pick it up. That seems a little long to me. Hoping to get it by the end of this month. We will see.
I ordered on January 31st, and apparently my dealer was able to reconfigure a car he already had as part of his allocation. Got a VIN number 3 days later (this past Saturday) and ASKMINI says its in production and scheduled to be complete on February 7th. They tell me that this is week 6 of production for 2008. That's awful fast, and actually a little faster than I want as my old lease does not expire until middle of April. Does anyone know how long the car might sit waiting for a boat, how long the boat trip is to NY, and how long at the port in NY before getting to the dealer?
weren't you the one who said it was comming too fast!?
next nyc bound are elektra 2/14 arriving 2/23, then faust 2/16 arriving 2/24. but who cares?
rrcaniglia , Sailwx reported call letters as ZCBD4 , but that is listed for another ship . Guess it is a goof on their part . Voyage # is EB805-COG due in GA. on the 21st .
Just checked sailing data on WWL, again. And again, delayed debarkation. Original date 18 Feb. After two delays, now 20 Feb. So, don't be surprised if things slip.
Hang in there rrcaniglia , all good things take time . My car is still on the dock,so I feel your pain! Think of all the fun you are going to have with your new Mini . What color did you get ?
Well, folks, what will be will be. The latest straw is that I have to travel on business 26-29 Feb, so I expect I won't pick up the car until the 1st of March. I wonder if I can make a little Hertz rental feel like a MINI? Just a bit?? And getting the car 1 March--what a great way to start Spring. (This will always be the day I start Spring.)

although I said it was coming faster than I really wanted it; I am getting caught up in tracking it, and if it will be ready earlier, I would certainly take it.

I'm on the east coast as well. My dealer is in South Florida. Mine was finished on 1/30 and it's supposed to be at the dealer on 2/21. Time from completion to pickup will be just over 3 weeks. I have an alarm system that'll be getting installed at the VDC, so if you don't have any port-installed options, your wait might be shorter.
I'm week 6 and "The Dude" was finished on Friday and hasn't been scheduled for transport yet. I'm in the midwest. Anyone know what port those cars come into?
I believe it is South Carolina. I'm in Texas and I think that'll be our port too. We were completed on Thursday (02/07), sitting on the dock, and now are getting anxious about hearing some shipping info. Maybe some good news today!

Maybe we'll get on the same ship. My dealership is in Kansas City.

I'm in Texas, too, and they told me it was South Carolina.
