Check this out:

Track the voyage here if your car is on it too:

You entered your full VIN in the box that reads "cargo ID" and then clicked track at the following site, I presume?

(you read that correctly, the person gave a report that was behind the robot, maybe the robot was wrong seeing as it was 2 more days to get on the train)
Good to know.... I remember this whole tracking business was very painful last time and it is again. For other cars I've odered they have just shown up roughly when I expected them...with Mini's I obsessively keep checking, calling the robot five times a day even though it never changes. I've even started entering my VIN on the WW website just incase!

Sweet!!!!! But it looks like might not have made it :(

Mine shows that it is booked on the Antares leaving today but then in the status details it shows:

STATUS: Returned to shipper 17-09-2012 15:23:00

Ugh

Mine is on the same boat with yours.

Yeah. Maybe you should delete all those teaser posts so as not to start a riot.
Joking about the riot, but not joking about the deletes.

Euphrates Highway is off the coast of North Carolina heading to Georgia. Anybody else on board that ship?

I think my MA is tired of me. When I ordered he told me he would send me weekly status updates and I've not had a single one. Instead I've sent him questions after I monitor ASK-MINI and he's had to reply. So now I've asked him why my car got returned from the boat, nothing yet

Do you have the email where he promised you updates? Reply to that one and tell him you checked your Junk mail and haven't been able to find them, and could he please resend them?

They do seem to care somewhat less once you give them the down payment. Since $20K-low or $30K-high is a bit more than $1K, you'd think they'd be a bit more pro-active until delivery day. I doubt he knows why you got on an imaginary (haha) ship that didn't make it out of port.

Sorry, I'm being snarky because you and your invisible ship had me all excited earlier today.

No, the ship was real and looks to have left with Greg's car on it. I've asked my Dad to go over and see if mine is floating in the ocean, maybe it fell off the deck. If so, he'll need a bigger cleaning cloth

Mine shows "Loaded on ship".
The ship is also on it's way to the Panama Canal:

Sorry, what the heck could have happened I wonder? That's only one hour after mine was loaded.

However--I'm confused. I'm not quite at this stage yet--I'm still twiddling my thumbs in Southampton waiting for a boat. I assumed the robot was done with its updates once I hit the "you're waiting for a ship" stage. I guess there's one more update ("en route" or whatever)? I'm just curious as to how you know for sure that you're on a ship. Did your MA let you know?
Correct. There is still the "en route", but I would assume the VDC and dealer ones would be there as well when the time comes. I don't know with 100% certainty if it's on the ship. I'm trusting in the robot and Ben, the OL rep I spoke to on the phone earlier today.

Looks like mine was loaded onto the ship this past week also, should be heading for Georgia. I have my vin, but it doesn't seem to be coming up on the cargo id manifest. https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage

Do you think it was loaded on another company ship?

That's what I'm assuming for mine. My VIN didn't work on WW's website, so I'm assuming I'm on K Line.

I'm finally in the production pipeline! My Clubman went into production this morning (9/17) after 5 weeks of Status 112 (ordered 8/11). Expected completion date 9/26. There is a ship for Baltimore on 9/30 but that's probably cutting it too close. There's one on 10/3 which sounds like a better shot. Fortunately, tons of ships go to Baltimore so I'm not sweating it too much.

Now I can breath.

Good to hear so many of us are finally on a ship.

My car is on the WW line. The ship is "Torino". Anyone else traveling on this one too? Last posted position was away from Southampton and into open water. That was on September 12. Won't be on the west coast until October 3. Can't wait.

Ted.
