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.
Go to this link: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do
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!

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?
next nyc bound are elektra 2/14 arriving 2/23, then faust 2/16 arriving 2/24. but who cares?

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.)
