Hey Blue baby, I am confused on how you are seeing so much about your car, as well as other cars that are booked for Courage. Any insight on this? Mine was built at the exact same time as yours and made it to the docks on the 12th, but has not shown up at all when I enter my VIN on the site for auto cargo or roro... I was really hoping to make it onto the Resolve, which went from Southampton direct to Charleston today, but I am guessing I missed it. :-/

How are you guys finding bill of lading numbers? Is that info included with the search results if your VIN is in the WW system?

Mine just got updated since last night--now shows loaded on vessel on 15/7 (7/15 for us colonists) at 18:39. A nice hour and 21 minutes to spare before the Courage sailed. Woo hoo!
So, it took 2 days to update their computers, meaning it's worth another try. I checked to see if the Resolve was perhaps not a WW ship, but it is, so your info _should_ show up on that site eventually. It's still possible you made it on the Resolve.
Anyone see that episode of the Simpsons back in the day when Homer is microwaving something and says (and I'm estimating on the number; don't remember exactly), "2 minutes?! But I want it _now_!" Amazing how impatient technology's enabled me to get!

"3 seconds? But I want it now!"
lol
And GreenRacer (the mini) is now officially booked on the Manon set for departure tomorrow. Woo-hoo!

Re: the buffalo:
GreenRacer and any other Boston-ites lurking here:
Are you going to the MAMA (Monadnock Area MINI owners association or some such) blueberries and BBQ on the 29th?
I posted on MINI2 saying I wouldn't have my MINI yet, and asked if going in my husband's Jeep Wrangler counted as a sacrilege. The leader (Actual Size--nice name!) posted back saying "Expectant mothers are always welcome."
Haven't been to a MINI gathering yet--might be fun to pick blueberries and see what a MINI event is like...

I'm one of the West Coast PW27 people. I was thinking the same as you, if not the M. Butterfly then a MUST for the Medea. Unfortunately she sails in less than 3 hours.
I am getting NO info from the WW site with my VIN. I've been at Southampton since 7/7. ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!

From what I understand from reading the other production week threads, often times minis going to the west coast are shipped using another carrier than WW. I can't recall off the top of my head what the name of it is (NK something) and they don't have the best online tracking tools. Not that this is going to be particularly helpful with the waiting mind, but more info can't hurt, right?
