Does anyone know if the cars are loaded in a container or are they just loaded openly?

I found a yard holding a thousand or so sea-vans but no MINIs yet. Still looking. Probably going to drive me completely mad trying to find them.

Might be hard to see - they may all have white paint protector stickers on the clearcoat.

Yep. As would other cars that ship out of that port. As cool as it would be to find them, probably next to impossible.

The name of the ship I think I will be on is called the Parsifal.. Im guessing only that I will be on that one... But it would have been nice to have been loaded on the Endurance.. But that leaves port today..or there abouts...So my next possible guess would be the Parsifal and I think that one leaves the 18th of this month..lol

Air freight is too expensive, so I get that, but darn, BMW should use hydrofoils for transportation!

According to Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics website, I am loaded on the Endurance..scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on June 18th!

If anyone is wondering, this is the tracking page...

https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage

Just input your VIN number in the Cargo ID field, and click Track.

Hmmm.

Someone go to Google Maps. Type in Test Road, Southampton, England.

Zoom in close using the satellite view and tell me if those aren't BMWs and MINIs parked next to the ship with the orange deck.

Edit: Look closely at the triangle shape of cars parked nearby. I see MINIs with bonnet stripes, some with sports stripes (Odd, thought they were installed at the VDC or dealership). But definitely the loading area for our beloved MINIS.

Well, I am kind of on my own here I guess. I emailed my MA Friday about info getting on the next scheduled ship out of Germany and didn't hear back from him. I called today and left a voice mail. He then emails me back and says he doesn't know about the ship, but can confirm my car is at the port in Southampton.

I have a Countryman on order. Pretty sure she will never see Southampton.

Not everyone gets an MA that is jazzed about their cars and customers I guess

I'll just track it on the site and see if it makes the Tiger by Friday.
