Using incredible trickery (starting with my VIN and reducing the number by one each time) I found these booking numbers:
MANON: GBSOU421559 (South Hampton to NYC)
MANON: GBSOU421552 (South Hampton to Halifax)
LIBERTY: GBSOU421568 (South Hampton to Charleston, SC)
(I'm not obsessed, really)

Talked to our MA today and she doesn't have any new info or inside info than I have. I think I know more than her! She said that most all the west coast is done through NYK, so we'll have to wait some more!

Now I might regret saying that when the kids are yelling in the back seat because the wind is in their eyes. I think if I drive real fast, I wont be able to hear them. Hannah will love the attention and Noah will find something mischievious to do. Boys will be boys. I need to call Ask Mini now. Its been a few hours.
EDIT - Do we have a booking number for Don Carlos yet?

Well, I still have no tracking info. But, I did notice that the tracking info for the Manon to NY that had listed 229 cars earlier today now only lists 108 - and the ship has sailed. So, my next chance is the Liberty. The tracking info for that booking number has mysteriously increased by about 40 cars since earlier today...hmmm...C'mon - add one more - mine!
Booking numbers:
GBSOU421561: Liberty to NY
GBSOU421568: Liberty to Charleston

ok, now i'm guessing since it looks like that don carlos left without us.
judging by:
-everyone says nyk is the likely line for west coast deliveries
-the folks from the prior week production ended up on the centaurus leader (nyk line)
-nyk line ships coming to the west coast call port in zeebrugge just before they get to southampton
my guess (subject to change) is:
the pegasus diamond (nyk line). due in zeebrugge on 5/14, would put it in southhampton 5/15, depart southampton on tuesday 5/16.

Beagle... I think you're correct there! The Don has left us at the port or else where. Nothing new from the automated system or website for us. Looking to score a ride here quickly across the pond. Swedish is getting a little impatient as the time goes on!
Hang in there Swedish -- we'll get our MINI soon. On that note, anyone know someone who wants a Nissan Murano? We're still trying to sell ours...

I still have no tracking info from WW, but my MA emailed me this morning to let me know that my car is on a ship heading to Charleston and is due to arrive at the port on the 21st! I'm waiting to hear back about which ship it is on, but it almost has to be the Don Carlos. Yay!
Um, so, would anyone want a yellow GTI?...

Update:
My MA emailed me back with the ship's info.
It's not on a WW ship, it's on a K-Line ship. The Ingolstadt. Due to arrive in Charleston on the 24st, with possible delivery by the 27th (probably, not, though).
K-Line? I've not seen that name pop up in the forums. Here's the page with the schedule: http://www.kline.com/PCC-RoRo/Schedu...ticShuttle.asp
