BUT it did say it left the radio contact out of the English Channel on the 18th. So it is apparently in the Atlantic and hasn't come close enough (@500mi) to the US shores yet. It's still on it's way.

If you know the vessel name, you can go to the marinetraffic.com website and look up the ship by name. It will tell you the last AIS report from the ship (probably near the Isles of Scilly, if it's like mine was) and take you to a map with a track plot for the data it has.
It will come into view again when it gets within range of one of the AIS receiving stations. Mine showed up when it got within a hundred miles or so of Panama.
It's in the Miraflores locks right now! Woot!!

@PezRadar my chili red mini coupe has been sitting in South Hampton since the 15th. I've also missed 2 WW ships. It's frustrating! Anyone know anything more? Seems like it should have been on one of these ships! I'm picking up in Nashville, TN so the port will be in Georgia. Another ship leaves tommorow but so far it's still showing as not being loaded onto any ships!

Apparently the last 'real ship' that held MINIs that had the potential for holding MINIs for me left on the 17th (I am in TX so my VDC is Brunswick, GA).
They claim that my car didn't get to port until the 20th. They said that all last week not one ship came to Southampton with the intention of picking up actually MINIs (which appears to be the case, you and many others are experiencing this).
So yea - Hopefully the MANON is for us as someone on NAM already has a Countryman on it - But who knows. We may end up being on something that comes later this week. They mentioned 'late this week' I would get picked up but I think they were just 'guestimating'

Got it, arrived at the dealer at 5:10ish and drove off at 6:00ish. They had everything prepared and I didn't have to wait whole lot. Next, I will take it to the tint shop this Saturday. I am so happy the wait is finally over. BTW, they had bunch of coupes in the lot if you are looking for one...

She looks awesome. I love the rims and the sport stripes and the color combo.
I got my tint and sport stripes today as well, plus Lo Jack. Busy day but so worth it.
Happy Motoring!!!!!

What brand and shade level did you go with? I am thinking of huper optik, either carbon ($265 - all windows including sunroof except front windshiled) or ceramic ($575 - same as above) 40% all around.

awesome looking clubbie... If you don't mind me asking, what kind of deal did Alexander Mini give you? anything below sticker? just curious since I'm looking at several dealers to place my Countryman order. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I ordered a 2012 MCS hardtop on 9-19 and my owner lounge still says that it is on order. Does anyone now if I can get any more info at this point? ASK MINI said that it is schdueled for production but they don't know when and my MA said it is already in production… but i don't know if i believe him.
