Mini's arriving.
Just think, you are there, yours doesn't have to be transported half way across the country like my Lil Guy. Mine came into POE Baltimore on the 20th, yours today and we both get them on Saturday. Sounds good to me. Hey guy, do enjoy your new ride, I know I will. Again, my travel from the dealership back to my home is five hours of driving time, and I am going to enjoy every moment of it. I think that I'll take the back roads back to Iowa.

Clearances
But, in saying all this, my Lil Guy had a state room, so he didn't have to worry about that. He and Lil Alex partied during the trip in comfort.

The show was very interesting. It was much like I imagined from what I had heard, but something about how they drive right up the folder ramp and park in meticulously positioned spaces for lashing, that was especially impressive. My father had a temporary job in the 80s driving Suzuki Samurais off the boat in LA. Very different process, and of course a different vehicle. They had bumper wings on the sides to prevent damage from overtipping as they descended the ramp. Crazy.
Loved seeing all those MINIs!
Angry, you can SEE the boat from your window? Torture!

The Michigan Highway has gone from expected at vesseltracker.com, to not being listed under expected ships anymore, as of yesterday. Since it won't let you see the ships in port on the free account, I think this means that the ship is in port. It also told me this morning that the ship had made it to the area that it tracks and it was showing up off the coast of Brunswick, so considering the 2 day delay the free account has, I think this means it has reached port for sure!!!! So hopefully my mini will get unloaded fast and past through quickly (no damage) and make it to the dealer soon.

It is a few days behind. I showed up for a while on one of the sites this morining but who knows it may have sank

I am trying to understand how WW works. It seem like they are a shipping company as well as a shipping agent. For example in your case, there were no WW ships going to Port Hueneme for like a month, so they put your car on an Asian carrier that was headed back to Asia via the west coast. Your VIN appears on the WW tracking site, yet the car is aboard a ship not owned by WW.
