HAHA!!! Yes, there's a VDC in Baltimore, I don't know how close to the port it is, but given Baltimore's layout, it can't be too far. It won't be much of a race, though - my dealer's in Annapolis, less than 20 miles from Baltimore. Need a little more than to let it stretch it's legs.

Congrats, guys!! I'll just pretend I'm on that ship too!!
You can go to this website and track the ship although there has been no report since Sunday when the Tamerlane was docked in the UK. Just enter the name in the space provided.

Cheeeeee-Hee! My MINI was loaded on the Asian King 4 hours ago, and will be leaving Southampton tonight for Port Hueneme! Now begins the long wait til it arrives on 12 July! At least I've got my redeployment from Iraq (and a couple of weeks at my home station in Hawaii) to keep me busy while I wait!
Stoked!

According to ASK MINI and the owner's lounge my MINI is finally en route. I still get no records found on the WW site though! I'm pretty sure I'm on the Elektra(arriving in Brunswick on 7/2) but it would be nice to get some confirmation from the tracking site.
I've been fixing up my garage while I wait, it's nice to know the new tenant is finally on it's way.

Funny, but the OL and ASK MINI both have me still at port waiting for a ship, but I showed up on the Tamerlane on the WW site.

You'll have to let me know how many days passed from when it showed up on the boat and the OL and ASK MINI changes for you, that might help me figure out which boat I'm on.
Glad you're on a boat too, I hope the voyage goes smoothly!

My good news is that FALSTAFF was at the dock in NY this morning, so it's a good bet I'm on dry land again , even though WW still shows me on board. Tamerlane isn't too far behind. Looks like you're due in to Baltimore on the 29th, 1 day before I'm scheduled for delivery (30th).
Good luck!

I just looked at the K-Line schedule again and I guess it's possible. I might be on the Florida Highway which was in Southampton on 6/18 and arrives in Brunswick on 6/29. I hope that's true!

TrueEddie, for me it was 2-3 days before OL was updated (seemed like a lot more!). WW showed me booked quite early for Falstaff, but the boat was at sea for a day before even WW indicated that I was aboard. I sweated that day, so I feel yer pain!
Good luck. We'll keep our fingers crossed for Florida Highway!

Well if doesn't show up in WW tracking by tomorrow I'm going to assume it's on the Florida Highway, which means it would get to the VDC 3 days sooner then I expected.
Can my MA tell me what ship I'm on?
I haven't called my MA because I'm still deciding if I want to go to the dealer and complain about my super long wait and try to get some sort of compensation out of them.

My MA emailed several days ago to set up delivery on the 30th, when I was still offshore. I guess she has a good feel for the VDC backlog. In any case I'm psyc'd!

FWIW, the OL finally has me en route. That thing must be a real low priority for the MINI folks, it's GOT to be fairly easy to have it update better than it does.

I tracked the Independence II this morning and it was reporting 45 ft seas. I've been on a cruise ship with 30 ft waves so I'm freaking a bit. Especially after seeing that youtube video of the damaged vehicles on a ship that sailed through a hurricane. Yowza!
But I found this...just in case you want to see the process. I'm searching for anything to ease the wait!
