Dang.. that would be so awesome. I could be getting Bruiser by the end of the second week of April if he's on that ship.
MA's isn't in the office yet... sigh.
So, is that four of us that were just recently told by OL that we are En Route? Stella, Bruiser, child of 3DogDepot, and child of harold47

(BTW, still trying to come up with a name; nothing seems to stand out so far. "Max" is in the lead; a slight reference to size as in MiniMax.)

Sure.. well, it's at the top of that image...

I found a bimmer group that have their cars on it too:

They used vesseltracker which lets you track your ship... they also have pics of the ship on the site.
http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/Ship...y-9325776.html
From this image, it's about 200 miles from port.
According to the schedule for this ship, it had a different route than most vessels.
Notice how it left Southampton then went to Bremerhaven then off to Charleston while the other ships started off at Bremerhaven. The point is that it actually left Southampton on the 22nd of March... so if your car wasn't completed by that date and if this schedule is accurate, then you aren't on this ship. Mine could have just made it.
Well, today is my MA's day off.. so I never did get confirmation that Bruiser is even on this ship. He comes to work at 9am tomorrow though.
*ring ring, "hello? where's my baby??? is he doing okay?"

Well, I can't seem to get any confirmation of anything for sure. Was trying to be patient and wait for a call, but then DH got all excited and called our MA who was with a customer and was supposed to call back. Waited all day, no call. Hmmm... strike 1! Guess I'll have to assume we're with you guys and hope for the best since we were at the dock since 3/17. Glad somebody's got some info.!

My MA sent me an email today - "Your MINI has been shipped, and is currently on a boat on its way here to the states!"
Based on the fact that I still get nothing from entering my VIN on the WW site, I am almost positive I'm on a K-Line ship. By process of elimination based on my date of completion and date of departure of the K-Line ships, I believe Stella is travelling on the Western Highway, due into Charleston on April 3rd! Whooo-Hoo!
OK...back to my book now. Yeah, right!

Okay.. I'm getting way ahead of myself I'm sure. I'd feel a lot better if at least one of us can confirm we are on this ship. 9:01 am tomorrow my MA will be getting a call. I'll give him a minute to get some coffee.

OK, we're definitely on!!! Seems our MA left a message on our cell phone which is not turned on when we're home. K-Line, Western Highway, Voyage 15B, departed Southhampton 3/22, arrives Charleston 4/3, ETA to dealer approx. 4/9, and Pick-up 4/9,10 or11, depending on schedules!
Feeling much better now...Party on, shipmates!

But I was pretty reassured by Bruiser sending the e-Postcard.
Looks like it's time to create a new thread!

I think we have to wait till it gets closer to the coast of North America.
I've made a new thread to track the Western Highway:

I've been getting those more and more lately. I'm so anxious I'm beside myself.
I saw this youtube of this guy (with the same color combination) that obviously loves his MINI and video's it as he drives from his garage and back... slowly. I thought it was so lame.. but now, I know exactly how he must have felt. I think I'm going to be worse.
