Thanks! To clarify, my VIN has showed on the MINI OL site around the time it went into production. Where I am not seeing it yet is on the WW shipping site.

Mine went into production last Friday and then stayed at that status till today. So yours might not move to bodyshop till Sunday or Monday.
But I've been calling them everyday since it went into production hoping to hear something new. :D
Actually do they work on weekends? If not, my car might be done but will sit there all weekend instead of getting ready to ship out. :(

Haha..yeah, I saw that my car was looking like it was going to be built and assembled at the end of the week, and I was cringing. Hopefully all that end of the week car being built badly stuff is just an urban legend. :(

Wow, that's different. You're MINI's a bit ahead of mine so I'm not familiar with the tracking for the ships yet. You should have yours in no time!
#36
I hope so too. That probably only applies when Friday means "party time". If they work a 7 day week they probably all have different days off so maybe Friday doesn't have the same meaning.

So I just did a little bit of RESEARCH
If my Mini is done by 21APR, and figure it takes 2 days to get to Southampton, so 23APR
I'll either be on:
----WW's PORGY, Depart Southampton 25APR, Arrive New York 04MAY... Have the keys before the 11th??
--or--
----WW's FIDELIO, Depart Southampton 02MAY, Arrive New York 12MAY... Have the keys before the 19th?
My last day of class is May 10th and I have a final on May 18th, either way I'll be celebrating!

In the paint shop! Scheduled to be through production today.
Thanks to folks and resources on this site I've been able to track the production and 'watch' it roll through the process--my MA is absolutely no help and I never received any sort of info from him on how the process works or the great resources to track the progress, other than "it'll take 6-8 weeks." I wish he didn't stand between me and my MINI b/c I really don't want to have to deal with him any longer!

Like I said, people should check their VIN on the WW site daily because their car might be loaded on a ship that is not on the WW schedule.

Yeahhhhhh. Just checked the WW site and Sadie is on board the Independence II scheduled to arrive April 28 in Baltimore. Made my day. Now I can track her trip to America!! Maybe I will actually have her earlier than estimated. Still has to get her strips and mudflapps but the end is in sight. I'm stoked!!
