Y2K - just a little more to reassure you that your car will make it aboard the Electra. I just now checked the Owners' Lounge to see how Twiggy was doing. Even though the Porgy left over 24 hours ago, the website says Twiggy is still "awaiting transport" to the dock. With the ASK-MINI call center down for the weekend, I tried the automated line - I was sure it would reflect the fact Twiggy sailed yesterday. Wrong! It said "your vehicle is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel." If the automated line updates once a day at noon England time, then it should have said my car was on the way to the USA.
So, forget about checking anything this weekend - wait until Monday morning and call the live desk and you will probably be pleasantly surprised to hear your MINI is either at the port or waiting for a train.

But it has been sending pings every 6/12 hours or so...
This link was from UAL_'s summary post (well, I force fed the Undine's callsign):

Zoom out a couple clicks....

I found this shipping schedule for New York. I don't know why the Undine isn't listed yet. I see other vehicle carriers listed (RIG = VEH)

I found this for Port Hueneme - it does not show the time of arrival, but it shows the Porgy will arrive on September 18th. Look at the entry for September 4th - the Morning Celestra left Southampton on August 14th (we west-coasters would have been on that ship except for the 2-week factory closure). Interestingly, the Port Hueneme schedule lists the number and kinds of cars on the ship.

Y2K wrote that he thought the Undine's arrival have moved back a day to September 4th. Since that schedule only shows part of Sept. 4th, we might see the Undine appear a little later.

Well, FINALLY after ALL THIS TIME, arriving in the Paint Shop on Thursday, a call to ASK-MINI automated this morning confirms that my Mini is now..!!!!!!
...still in the Paint Shop.
Undine is still trucking along!
Elektra is on the final stop before Southampton, in Zebrugge. Found a webcam at the docks there, but not located where you could see the ships. You see cranes in the distance, but... oh well.
Porgy is incognito.

Well after two days of poking around the internet, I found a site that gives the arrival schedule for the Undine.
http://www.firstnynj.com/
Select, "Vessel Activity"
It still shows the old scheduled arrival date, 9/3. Hopefully, they will update it soon.

Speaking of, the latest color-coded list that UAL_ just posted for our week REALLY IS STARTING TO **** ME OFF!!!!
Hopefully all solved tomorrow....
So, kenc is SCHEDULED to be on the Elektra, right? Unless they drove it to Belgium, you're not on it yet.
I linkified a link to the Elektra which should be good to track her for the next, oh, 4-5 days in my sig. Then we'll see if she goes undercover like the Porgy, or pings every 6 hours like the Undine.

Y2K - I just checked the status of Twiggy on the ASK-MINI automated line. She is still "at the port of exit waiting for a shipping vessel." I can only imagine the depressed state I would be in today if this thread hadn't given me the tool to track my car and verify it had in fact been loaded on the Porgy on Friday. So, now that we know the ASK-MINI hotline is not updated on weekends, you need to go to bed early tonight so you can get up early tomorrow and talk to a live person - I'm sure you will hear your car is done and waiting for the train ride to the dock.

Thanks for trying to bum me out.

Oh, I was just nit-picking.... I try and be nice (and quiet) when I see folks say stuff like last week when someone said "The Undine left today..." when it had left a few days before. But I'm getting to the end of my rope.
Who's got two thumbs and was JUST told by ASK-MINI that he is still in the Paint Shop (since 8/27)?
[edited to add: that's a LIVE human at ASK-MINI]
