Looking at older W&W ship trackings it seems as though most cars were "booked" 3 days before pick up...considering they are showing no record of my car I wonder if I'll...
A) Be picked up by K-Line instead
OR
B) Be left at the dock to miss another ship
Is the MA the only one that can tell if you were picked up by K-Line?

Owner's Lounge Updated
Mini was scheduled for arrival Sept. 26th, ASK MINI changed from "in transit" to "at port awaiting shipping vessel" Sept 27th. No change in OL. Today, ASK MINI is still saying "at port awaiting shipping vessel" but the Owner's Lounge has updated to "At Distribution Center"!!! Awesome!! I'm hoping for the second week in October to be able to pick up our new baby.

MA said we were scheduled for arrival in Brunswick on Sept. 26th, I assumed I was on Athens Highway. I started calling Ask Mini Wednesday afternoon, no change. I called this morning and mini robot changed from "in transit" to "at port awaiting a shipping vessel", what gives?? No change on OL yet, figured that.

As of yesterday afternoon, my car was at the VDC according to my substitute MA. ( I adopted another MA as my original one has proven nearly useless. I will be asking their sales manager to allow them to split the commission.) The OL now shows that status too! Funny thing is that ASK-MINI has reversed: My car was "in transit, contact your dealer for additional tracking information" until yesterday. Now it says that it is at the port awaiting shipping--the same thing it said before it went on the boat. I wish everything would get all coordinated. All that is to say it's so hard to know exactly what is happening with your car without a good MA.

I'm really hoping mine is on either the California Highway that leaves today or the Don Juan that leaves tomorrow. My MA told me yesterday that the California Highway is one of the faster ships??? I sure hope so. Has anyone's MINI come across on this boat and if so how long did it take to get to US?

Once a ship leaves, it's no longer on the schedule. Those schedules are updated several times a day--and only show future departures. Once you know what ship to follow, there are a few other ways to follow it (WW via VIN, or one of the ais tracker sites).

The ASK MINI people will tell you that once it is turned over to a shipping line then there is no more updates from them until it is received by a dealership. The MA is suppose to know what line and possible the ship it is on. Some seem to be clueless.

You'll love it, its a great car to drive. Do make sure you get the wind deflector, it is criminal that MINI doesn't provide it (like BMW does) but it makes a huge difference in noise when the top is down. Not cheap though.

Can the wind deflector be used with someone in the backseat? The pictures make it look like it obstructs the back. No biggie DH can follow behind in his Rubicon, while DD and I take the Mini.

Only time I ever had a passenger in the back was my 110 lb step daughter and she would sit sideways.

LOL! That's how I justified it! I figured DD could just spread out with her legs on the seat. Of course no shoes on the leather. The legroom in the back is so bad I figured I'd just consider it a fainting couch. May add some throw pillows, flame less candle...just treat it like the joke it is.

Finally 
. I will be sailing on the Endurance. Leaving Southhampton on 9/30 arriving in Baltimore 10/9 then on to Kansas City. Although I have no idea how long it will take to get to KC.
The booking just showed up today on WW track and trace.
It shows I was booked on 9/18.
Recieved at terminal on 9/27.

Aha, so the WW website is playing tricks on me!!! My track and trace page just shows two entries "Received at Terminal" and "Returned to Shipper", nothing about it being booked on any ship.
But if I click on the date next to "Received at Terminal" it brings up a whole new screen that says I am booked on the Fidelio that leaves tomorrow and gets to CA on Oct 20th. Since I must surely be at the front of the line I have fingers tightly crossed that my car will finally be at sea by the end of tomorrow.
I'd woot but am too exhausted
