Your new MINI en route via Porgy departing 11/19?

Just wondering if any other members on this journey along with me.

Are you able to see your VIN on their website? I've tried following the instructions in the stickied post but I still get No Results...

When was your Mini built? Mine was supposedly finished Nov 9 but still shows Awaiting Transportation.

Mine was built on 11/15 and sent to transport on the 16th. I didn't get any records until the morning of 11/19.

That would be cool. Check your VIN on WW's website.

Also on Porgy!

Yes--my (yet unnamed) Reef Blue MCS is making the journey alongside Desmond II on the Porgy! This is my first Mini, and I had been able to fairly effectively rein in my excitement--that was, of course, until I saw that the car is on the boat and the boat is crossing the pond. Now, it's all I can do to not check the website every 5 minutes!

It's going to be a long couple of weeks...

Best,
Mike

Just heard from my MA that my Spice Orange Mini is on K-Line vessel Florida Highway. Their schedule shows a Brunswick arrival of Nov 28. Hopefully it can clear the VDC and be at Jacksonville by Dec 8...

My wife thinks I'm crazy for trying to follow it... Of course, she's already got her Bayswater Mini so it's easy for her to not be impatient...

Fantastic Mike! Nice to know Desmond has a boat-mate.

Have you noticed that the location of Porgy stopped updating well over 24 hours ago? What gives?

Mike, they can only be tracked near land masses. While on the open sea you can't see them. I don't expect we'll hear anything till later next week when we're near Halifax.

Did their schedule change? I thought it was originally scheduled in to Brunswick on the 29th but now it shows the 30th. Looks like it is going to push delivery date for me to weekend of the 15th instead of the 8th. Sigh.

As far as I know, it hasn't. It's been the same since I started checking on the 17th.
