Hey General, go to this link (
http://www.miniusa.com/link/home) and select the far right option 'Owners Lounge'. If you have a production number, then you can register and track your car status. Also you can go to
http://www.2wglobal.com/Global/Root.jsp and under "Cargo Tracking" select AUTO and put in the last 6 digits of yer VIN#. It will tell you when your Mini was booked and the name of the boat. You can then track the boats schedule. It's a bunch of fun and also very stressfull as my mini was meant to be on the boat last week, but for some reason it switched boats and is not scheduled until this week, 4th July and arriving at CA on 29th July. I hope this helps, Limey.
