Depending on where you got that info, your MINI could be already built, awaiting a truck to Southampton, or on a ship already.

I got awesome screen caps of it going into the lock, but only caught the very tail end of the ship as it left the lock for Gatun lake. Stupid work getting in the way.

The OL is your last resort.. ask mini isn't that much better... Your MA should have some of the best info.. All this from what I have experienced..

I'm almost feeling the same way about the MAs as I feel about ASKMINI. He said today his system is still showing I'm waiting on a ship but I'm still showing "loaded on vessel" as I have been since Saturday on the shipping company's site.

He pretty much told me he'll know if it's on the ship when the ship gets to port.

That's seems correct... My MA couldn't tell me what ship or if it was on a ship either.. That's where a little CSI on our part comes in.. Basically just by doing what your doing..checking the shipping companys site!! Tracking these is still a bit of a lose operation IMO..

That's pretty much what I've seen during my 6 months on this board. I'm just happy (as of this minute) that my MA is keeping me up to date.

Just found out from my MA that mine will be at the dealership Friday. Works out great for me, I work the next 2 days, and have off Friday and the weekend! Really looking forward to finally getting my Bond Street which I've already named Dunkin'... The colored ring in the wheels look like donuts lol. Or is it named Duncan? I can't decide.

Two locks at Miraflores I believe. I saw the Tiger in the first set. It is going through the second set now, then off to the Pacific!

Hi Lili, I think your only bet now is your MA. It takes 2 to 3 days to get out of the VDC and then it's put on a hauler.

My MA was able to tell me when it was released to the hauler. Then for me it was about 2 days until the dealer. Just picked it up today! Pictures to come.
