TORRENS TRAVELERS: You could draw a Great Circle path between Southampton and Halifax. Or, if you would like to drive yourself even farther up the wall, you may be able to extrapolate from these previous travels:
Ok, here's something to distract us all (or maybe make it worse)...
In the OL, I found where you can watch a step-by-step production of the MINI in a time-lapse video (I hope this link works, if not I'll repost how to get there):
Wow, my production did complete yesterday (even though the automated system said I was in the paint shop) and I'm at the port according to ASKMINI....and I'm booked for the TOPEKA! I can't believe this is going so fast....I only ordered on 3/2 and it's going to be in NY on 3/24.
Called MINI Canada and my car has been built, and is at the port of exit! Not showing up on the WW tracking list yet though. Still on track for the Faust!

Congrats Perihelion - finally, after all the waiting it's built and ready to ship. Sure there's some more waiting, but you know it runs

Nice pic of the berths there oldsbear. I wonder if it will take Topeka hours to get underway like it did Torrens. It was weird, the WW site listed it as having left port but it didn't start moving for like 4 hours or so.

All kinds of things can throw them off schedule. This morning I heard a very disgruntled ship captain reporting to VTS that he could not move yet because the authorities were checking for a bomb. Glad they're on the alert, but not pleasant for the captain.

Heh, I think that'd make me rather disgruntled as a captain as well! Delay and a threat, what a day...

I got the same info from my dealer today. Looks like we might be shipmates.
Just found out that my Clubman is onboard the Sierra Nevada Highway, which just left Southampton. She waved to the Topeka as they passed in the harbor
Hello! I'm new here and my MCSC was at the port on the 12th. Can you tell me how you found out your clubman was on the Sierra Nevada Hwy. I'm in Georgia and i'm hoping that mine made it on that ship and will be on it's way to Charleston and not waiting for the Faust and coming into Brunswick Ga on the 31st. Thanks for any info you can give me.
You're right! I'm now loaded on the TOPEKA! Exciting that there's at least 6 of us going for the ride
Any news on the leaders of the pack on the TORRENS?
Well, bogs...it's like this. I got all excited 'cause my MINI caught a wave and then it went silent as it hit the end of the English Channel. I've bounced around all over the web trying to figure out a way to "see" the TORRENS. Cameroon's acting all calm and collected but I wanna plot the path across the sea.
Patience is a virtue...just not one of mine.
Congrats to you all for catching your rides. We can all sit around together with bated breath.

Go to - http://www.2wglobal.com/www/wep/ and then click on "All users" at the bottom of the screen. On the next screen put your VIN into the Cargo ID field and press "Track". That screen will tell you which ship you are on and if you click on the Voyagae Number it will tell you the ships schedule so you'll know when it arrives in the US.
