Yep, the Texas! Although now the WW site says the car was released to customs in Woodcliff Lake, NJ. Yeah, I'm starting to get a little suspicious of their information...

Nice car WantAvant, I like the white on white with black wheels and headlamps.

 

Thanks man, I think it turned out very well

 

Comgrats to you on being aboard a ship! I called ASKMINI and mine is still awaiting a ship. It got to the dock five days after yours so I am thinking a ship on the 10th or 12th. Fingers crossed.

 

The Turandot is making great time!!! http://aprs.fi/#!call=i%2F566441000&timerange=3600

 

My MCS Hatchback was built on 4th May, now waiting for a boat. Are there anyone else whose Hatchbacks are already built and waiting at Southhampton?

Hopefully, will be able to hitch a ride on Tombarra (Brunswick, GA)....

Not a hatchback but my Roadster was a couple days ahead of yours and it appears it may not make Tombarra as it's leaving today and the WW tracker still doesn't show it onboard. The Integrity is next on the 12th.

 

mine's been on the dock for some time also as it actually almost made the last ship leaving on 5/2/12. (booked, received, then returned to shipper)

I believe Tombarra is leaving tomorrow (5/11/12) not today (5/10/12).
i guess vessel schedules change sometimes as Tombarra's orginal date of arrival at South Hampton was 5/10/12 initially but changed since then.

 

Is the Tombarra a WW Cargo ship? My Mini just arrived at the Southampton port and is waiting a trip to Baltimore right now.

 

Well, it's finally booked on a ship--Yeah!! Been waiting since 3/19--more light peaking out from the end of the tunnel, finally.

2012 Midnight Black Roadster S ordered 3/19, started production 4/23, completed 5/1, headed to the dock 5/2, Aboard the Tombarra due to leave UK 5/11, ETA Jersey City 5/20. Pickup at dealer ???

 

You are correct. A few changes in the last couple days. Still a chance that mine will be on the Tombarra tomorrow. I had given up. If not, hoping for Don Juan on the 13th, which happens to be the date of most good things in my life.....

 

hey lets keep our hopes up!
looks like mine was released to the port around the same time as yours.
hope our car gets on Tombarra. Don't give up hope until tomorrow since it's leaving tomorrow

 

hey guys. not to burst either of your hope bubbles but my MINI was at the port for 10 days before it was picked up. now it's on a ship that's not WW so i can't track it too well. hopefully you guys will have to wait less time than i did. good luck to us all!

 

Amen to that

 

My wife's Mini Hardtop is waiting at the port (has been for a few days) right now and mine is on the way to the port now (just left today). They are both headed to California obviously.. what are they chances they get on the same boat?

 

I now have a ship booked on a WW Cargo vessel... "Integrity"... it's in port Bremerhaven right now... scheduled to depart Southampton Monday, May 14th and arrive in Baltimore on Wednesday, May 23rd... I might see LuLu by the end of the month

 

Finally showing "Loaded on vessel" on Tombarra today.
Now hopefully it stays ON the vessel this time.
It was loaded on vessel then returned to shipper last time

 

Good luck powerbook76!!!

 

depending on how long our car stays in VCD (in NY and MD) and how long it may take to ship them to our dealers, we may get our car around the same time!

 

powerbook, fingers crossed that it stays on. Appears mine did not make Tombarra, so thinking Don Juan in two more days.

 

Called AskMini, unfortunately, no change. Most likely not making Tombarra

 

Woo hoooooo! Congrats! I'm sure last time your MINI misbehaved and got taken off the ship for being too rowdy!

There's a K-line ship leaving on the 12th so keep your eyes open and your MA close by! Either way, one day less.

ASKMINI is usually a day or two behind. Have you checked the WWL website by putting your VIN in the cargo ID?

 

I sure did (this one several times a day)

The gentleman at AskMini was not that proficient, just said, prod completed and handed over to sales ().

Thanks for your reply....

 

the CSRs at ASKMINI only know up to the point where the car is out of the factory. after that, you're on your own to do some detective work!

 

Just received word from my MA. I'm on the K-Line California Highway! For those who may also be on this ship, the call sign is 3FJL6.

It arrives in Brunswick on the 17th and I have an estimated delivery date of the 24th! WOO HOOO!
