I just got off the phone with my MA My Cabrio is on the K-line Western Hwy scheduled to arrive in Charleston on June 5th.

Anyone good at tracking K-line, I know they are not as easy to track. I want to find my baby on the Atlantic?

Well it looks like the Fedora has sailed without my Clubbie - I'll check later today in case the database is lagging behind the actual loading but I am not hopeful. But then there is always another boat and the delay is only a few days.

Yah I've been checking the WW site-searching by my VIN prefix WMWMM% which shows the last matching car loaded at 16:10:00. As I said I'll try later tonight just in case there is a lag in the database be updated. I've found some close numbers but since VIN's aren't really sequential it does not mean too much. Car was completed on Friday the 22nd and it's hard to tell if there was some delay with the weekend that prevented it being shipped from Oxford in time to make the boarding/shipping manifest.

ww's website says:
All cargo must be received 4 working days prior to the vessel closing. so it might be that you just missed the boat so to say, sorry are you sure you are going to Charleston, I thought that was where I was to go but I am going to Brunswick GA. if you are going to Brunswick there is a boat leaving tomorrow?

Well the build sheet from my MA says I'm to go to Charleston but I do not know if that is really cast in stone. Which boat is leaving tomorrow?

Looking at the WW ship schedule and the Courage does not leave Southampton until until June 4 arriving Charleston June 16 and that is probably my best bet

Week 21 - Western Highway

If anyone has a mini on the KLine vessel Western Highway with my "Sibbie", they were in the port of Baltimore as of last night 11:49pm (5/31). As of noon today, there is no record of the ship leaving yet. It is due in Charleston, SC on Thursday, 6/4. I know I'm going to dread the distribution center wait, since I have no idea how track my baby from there.

I'm on the Western Highway. K-line just told me the Western will be in Charleston on the 5th. Either way it is still several weeks for me as I have several exterior mods to be attached.

Western Highway update.

The Western Highway is making extra stops??? Current location is off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC. It is like my MINI really is on a cruise. It has been to Baltimore, next is Brunswick, GA, then Jacksonville, FL then back up to Charleston, SC to finally drop me off??? I'm hoping to get it by June 26 so I can take it to D.C. for that weekend.

Yeah, what is up with this "round-about" route to Charleston? Where did you find out that it would be going to Jacksonville, FL? I didn't see that anywhere.

Sibbie's specs:
Pepper White Mini Convertible / Black Bonnet stripes / Convenience and Premium Pkgs / 16" Bridge Spoke / Automatic / Front Fog Lamps / Cream White Color Line / Piano Black / Nav System / Sirius / Sport Seats

Wow, 11,690 mi. I'm up to 6500 and thought that was a lot. No problems as yet, nothing but fun. I'm looking at wheels(Rota's ??), but will wait until the end of winter to buy.

I put a couple of miles on "Roy". wore out my run flats and a set of Hoosiers and have gone thru two set of brake pads and rotors. Seems the track can wear them out a little. but other than my own abuse he is holding up fine!
