I hope she doesn't put on too much weight while she's cruising! Of course, I'm sure she'll get a good workout when she lands.

So is everyone's MINI unloading in New York? Do they go by train after that or just by semi? Anybody know?

Some will sail further south before getting off. If mine made it onto the same boat, he'll continue on to North Carolina and then its on to a truck (I think) to KC. Its like Places, Trains and Autmobiles but Train, Boat, Truck and MINIs instead!

From the looks of things, I didn't make it on to the Tombarra. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get onto the Integrity. Pleez!!!!!

Whoa, that's a long road trip! To bad you can't pick it up in NC and motor it back yourself

Have you not gotten confirmation that you are on a boat yet? What was your last status report?

I think Tuesday and I are in the same situation.

The last update from ASK MINI, and my MA just said that I was at the docks, awaiting a transport ship.

Congrats to you all who made the "Richie" Tombarra! I imagine my wife's Mini was wishing you bon voyage with a cup of cocoa.

Well, after "testing", the Mini is back again waiting for transport. I sure hope the testers had fun. Still awaiting confirmation on the WW site. Maybe she'll be on the Integrity!

Our MA says that the car will arrive in the US via South Carolina.

Congrats to those of you who made the boat. I have been sitting there for a couple of days and still no update on the WW Logistics site. How long did it take before you guys say something?

My MINI was at the terminal and booked on the Tombarra as of 10/6 but the WW site didn't actually show anything until 10/9.

Not my boy! He's an MCS... fit and muscular! I'll bet he's in the gym right now working off those extra calories from last night's buffet.

Mine still says awaiting transport even though I am on the Tombarra. Call 866-ASK-MINI and get your status from a live customer rep. What state is your MINI going to? Makes a difference as some ships are East coast and some West.

Stasisnri, type your VIN # into the "auto cargo" tracking field here: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/searchCargo.do

swflaboy, so those aren't muffintops on your MINI? Those are broad shoulders!

Mtwags, you're right, our MINIs land in South Carolina, not North Carolina.

LordRybo, maybe my MINI and your MINI are mates and wanted a quality drinking mate for the long trip? Hopefully, they are both booked on the Integrity... I got just as vague info as you did.

GRRRRR!!!!

Still nothing on tracking. I guess if it doesn't even show that it is booked, I probably won't make the next boat.

Does anybody have a large cargo vessel I could borrow? I'm going to go get it myself.

Just out of curiosity...are VIN numbers sequential? Meaning if mine ends in 307, is the next one after mine the same and ends in 308? or are they randomly assigned?

Did you guys show up on the WW tracking before the boat arrived or left or after the voyage started? My boat is supposed to arrive/leave in two days and perhaps it's too early for it to show in the cargo status...

Congrats to all of you on the high seas!!!!! High Tea this afternoon for those MINIs still at the dock.

Mine showed up on WW cargo tracking on the 9th, same day the ship arrived in port. Loaded and sailed on the 10th.

Coopdy,

Never fear, it was a few days mine was sitting at port before I saw VIN reflected on ship tracking.

I don't see the Integrity in port. Has it sailed? If so, I am hoping to be on the Tortugas, as the next ship to South Carolina (the Toledo) does not dock for another week!

If anyone is on Integrity, congrats!

I think mine showed up scheduled for the Tombarra on the 8th, two days before sail.

Does anybody have the call sign for the Tombarra. I tried entering the name of the ship in the sailwx.com website and it couldn't locate it. We should be able to track it on that site, shouldn't we?
