actually, fortunately for me, my mini was moved up to week 14 production..right now it's probably in the panama canal making its way to me! I guess that means I'm officially out of week 16 production! but good luck to you all!

oh and p.s. I like week 16-ers better than week 14-ers. Hehehe...At least, you guys seem to be keeping things more up to date

Steamin'
JLL319 here, my port of entry is Charleston SC -- I live about 25 miles from there.... I have looked on the MINI USA Owners Lounge site and it still shows my mini awaiting transport as of a.m. 4/19.
Do you need any other info from me to get a better idea as to where my Fireball is?
regards,
Jeff (JLL319)

Well my clubman got loaded onto the Integrity at 15:02 today.
I found a couple interesting links:
Another tracking page:

Pictures of the Integrity:
http://www.scheepvaartwest.be/pagina813.html
http://www.ship-hunters.be/Images/Ca.../Integrity.htm
Also found that the Integrity holds 5900 cars and has a top speed of 20.5 kn.
A nice picture of the loading ramps at Southhampton: (My new desktop wallpaper)

And here are some BMW guys in the same boat as us (pun intended):

no problem, people. thanks to everyone for giving info...it makes it easier to compile & organize things so that us anxious & curious kids can just glance at the stats on the list. which is think is better than digging through everything or asking the same question again. so from filet0fish's links, i'm seeing that the EAST coasters' INTEGRITY ship's callsign is: WDC6925. seems the tracking info is out of date for that specific callsign. so if anyone wants to confirm the callsign for me, that would be great (considering i'm not able to check since my VIN is not about that ship). anyways, i'm glad my posting of the list has been helpful (and not yet become redundant). speaking of which..................

I've been looking at the Port of Hueneme vessel schedule trying to guess which ships might be carrying MINIs. Under each ship is something like this: "delmonte/gen/pt. america". a few of the ships have "bmw/inch/ceres" - I wonder if this means they are carrying bmw (and thus MINI)? I'm guessing that the ones that begin with "delmonte" or "chiquita" are carrying produce, not cars (but possibly they mix cargo types?) Does anyone know anything more substantial about these indicators?
Based on the calendar, these are the ships that are, to me, candidates for carrying MINIs:
May 5: ISOLDE (wwl/pac)
May 8: GRUS (bmw/inch/ceres)
May 15: JUPITER DIAMOND (bmw/inch/ceres)
(there are also a couple in the April 20 week but that just seems way too early).
I was getting my hopes up that maybe there was a slight chance I was on the ISOLDE but it appears to be a WW ship and I still do not show up on the WW website, so that makes me think there is no chance.
So then the next obvious choice is the GRUS. But where is it? It is not on the Southhampton calendar and I can't even find it listed in any ship registries. I wonder if it is a misspelling?
Any ideas about this, anyone?
I sent my MA an email today (she has not returned my call from last week). Maybe I'm just going to have to wait it out. I'm too impatient.

This was the site they used for the maps

I don't see our boat now but I think it's because it is too far off land now? This is the BMW site

Yippee! Found out my Clubbie's finished production and is on its way to Southampton!
Judging by the way the dates line up, it looks like I'll either be on the WW Independence II (departing SH 4/26, arriving Charleston 5/11) or the K-Line Emden (dep. SH 4/29, arr. Charleston 5/9). Which would be crazy - the Emden was the same ship my R53 took across the pond back in 2006!

[FONT=MINITypeRegular]Just got this message from my MA: "Looks like it was completed earlier today, it is currently showing “Produced Not Shipped” in our system and shows completion date of 4/21"[/FONT]
[FONT=MINITypeRegular][/FONT]
[FONT=MINITypeRegular]I guess my Clubman will be on the next ship to NY. [/FONT]
