My convertible is on the Asian Vision too. Meanwhile I decided to sell my 2008 Clubman with 5,400 miles on it and am ordering the Countryman ALL 4.

I'm also selling my 2010 Subaru Outback with not even 1,900 miles on it. It is just too big for me and I don't drive it because of that. Nice car, I'm just not a Subaru person.

I didn't think I'd order two MINIs in the same year, but it will be nice to have the MINIs in the garage together.

But your MA should definitely be able to look that information up for you.

edit: ok so here is the boat that I have cars on that dock on the 9th of November. It should be the same boat that yours is on because it is an all countryman boat for us and it looks like you also ordered a ctm all4. Ok so the name is ALTAIR LEADER left BREMERHAVEN on 10/13 and arrived at the port here in CA on 11/09!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My MA did not have the boat name (and was surprised that she didn't.) Based on shipping schedules linked on this site I figured MINI was contracting with other shippers (the Asian King a few posts back, for example is not WW or K-line.) My CM All4 has been a relatively long wait and tracking is a great way to keep up the excitement.

Nope. The OL still reads "awaiting transport." Obviously, it's on the Integrity (according to the manifest, etc.). Unless I'm dreaming the whole thing...

I haven't called ASK-MINI in a while, either, as the last time I did, it didn't even bother with the automated system and just sent me to a rep, who actually had no idea where the car was. Haha.

Getting Antsy!!

I am patiently awaiting for my R56, PW/B. I am getting so antsy. He was ordered on the 4th. My MA said it was at Southampton docks and has been there since 17th and I still haven't been booked to a ship. Is this normal to wait this long? Thanks!

The waiting game intensifies... The "cruise" ship (Asian Vision) is somewhere out the in the Atlantic, to far out to be picked up by marinetraffic.com... It will be nice when I can pick up the signal and watch her progress on the way to Cali... Should be hitting Panama on or around the 23rd.

My MA told me that if I attend the Motortober event that I should not even mention that my car is on order and if I do it will disqualify me. But I can come and register and hopefully get the offer for the incentive - but it's not a given. If MINI does any kind of cross-check and finds I have a car on order then I don't get the incentive.

....sounds a bit like the 'company line" to me, I think If I make the effort to attend then I should get the $750.

Does anyone know when the Asian Vision is supposed to reach the Panama Canal. Originally it was supposed to be there tonight at 8 Pacific time. It is not showing up on the tracking sites. Is it delayed. I don't want to miss it going through the canal.

Thanks,

Kathy

I am wondering the same Kathy, my MCS is on the same cruiseliner! I would think that she would at least be within radar for that we could track her progress....

I'm waiting too. Disappointed to see nothing in the Gatun Lock. They need more Webcams for their fans.

Got a call from my MA today...Gizmo will be here by the 30th...which is weird, since they're closed on Sunday. I'm REALLY hoping I can take him home from the MotorTober event here in Arlington.

Try going to SailWx http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/ to track across the ocean(s). First just Google your ship for its call sign "callsign Asian Vision" and plug that into the search field in SailWx.

Sp. did the Integrity's ETA recently move up a day to Friday 10/28, apparently around noon (?). I swear it was originally due in port on a Saturday. Not that my car will get processed that much fasted, but still... Exciting.

http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/...hp?lid=1319623

It's also now listed as "En Route" on the OL.

Ohh, that is going to be a tough wait. How come you are "starting over"?

The Asian Vision is on the move again. She was at the dock and then moored and now is moving again. Hopefully she is going to the canal.

I am awaiting transport too. I hope to have my coupe onboard on one of these ships.
Next few ships out as far as I can tell don't leave for several days. For those of us offloading at the port in Baltimore these are the next few options.

Depart 10/29 WW ship TAMPA arrival in Baltimore 10/07
Depart 10/30 WW ship INDEPENDENCE II arrival in Baltimore 10/11
Depart 11/04 K ship Florida HWy arrival date ?
Depart 11/07 K ship California HWY arrival date ?
