By my count there are 640 MINIs aboard, 439 for Port Hueneme (GBSOU649748) and 201 for Newark (GBSOU657832).
I am with dogcowdaddy on the pier. We weren't a standby on the list - I guess they were having loading problems.

Folks enjoy the cruise!

Will the owner of the tequila soaked black mirror caps please come to the lost and found desk. They were found shortly after the conga line passed the 2nd deck pool.

What tracker are you guys using to track now that she has left the English Channel?? All the ones I seem to have, can't find her, or are waay outdated.

Thanks. Just grateful that I am not a week 24 or 25 (or later). That would really suck.

OWG,

Now showing booked on the Fedora next Thursday. Looks like out MINI's have a week to kill in England. Maybe they could take the train into London for a couple of days if they promise not to get too out of hand and make it to the dock on time. The good news is the Fedora is stopping in Sweden to pick up the Volvo Bikini Team before heading to Southhampton. Should make for quite an interesting cruise

Cheers

Jim

Since Maxwell is destined to be a city car I've recommended to him that he take in some fishing at a lovely place about 150 miles away. Can your car walk a trout beat?

Oh no!! I thought you were with us on the boat!

Sorry to hear that OWG! But you're right. Atleast Maxwell is scheduled to board the Fedora and is not stuck there in the production area with no clothes on! Just one week behind... you'll get through this! We're behind you! [or rather, ahead of you?] However you want it!

OWG

That looks great but since "Little Beep" will be a country girl living down here on the Chesapeake Bay, she will have plenty of opportunities to go fishing. I would like her to see some sights in the city before she comes to the sticks. Our MINI's may have to go their own ways this week,

Cheers

Jim

Looks like my baby wanted another pint or two before she left - the last two days I was booked on the Asain Chorus, today I am booked on the Maersk Wave. OL just switched me to Awaiting Transport today also. See y'all later

Greetings! My yet-to-be-named Clubman is also on board, partying away with its siblings! (I need to see him/her to name him/her -- had the same problem with our second child!)

I also found what appears to be yet another tracking site that uses AIS -- seems a reasonably logical location (we're now south of Hugh Town) though probably 24 hrs old:
http://www.vesseltracker.com/en/Ship...s-9158604.html

Hoping the VDC works quickly -- I need to be on a truck heading for Boston ASAP! This may be the first Clubman in Maine....

Wow! The first in the state. That would be sweet. I live in a town with a Mini dealer and so far I've seen only one Clubman on the road. And believe me, I have been keeping my eyes open for them. I wanted mine to be the first I saw on the road but it wasn't to be.

Thank goodness mine actually says loaded on the vessel. If I were back to awaiting transport, it would be pure torture! Here's hoping that any who didn't make it on the AC get a quick transport.

Whew!

Thought you deserted us and just planned to come out of hiding when the AC gets here!

BTW, has any of you guys' status changed to "En Route" already? Mine's still "Awaiting Transport". I wonder how many days it's delayed...

Mine is Awaiting Transport as well but that makes sense because if you go to the next status, En Route, that is "En Route to the vehicle distribution center" as in, AFTER we land and get loaded onto trucks.

i just want to track it... Grrr... is there a NY AIS tracker anywhere so at least at the end of the week we can catch up.... The children are probably causing havoc since they are unmonitored...
