I'm adding the aero kit and having the black plastic wheel flares sanded smooth and painted red to match.

Cool! Should look great.

Does anyone know how to get the call sign and the web address for the site that tracks across the pond?

Oh yeah, baby! Looks like I'm on, too. Holding my breath for a few days just to make sure before I pop the cork!

Perhaps someone can translate the text on the left side of the page to let us know if Größe indicates the call sign.

So "Größe" translates to "size". Oh well, I never claimed to be a linguist.

After being treated like a pinball all week it looks like my Mini finally found its way onto the Hudson Leader . Time to start clenaing out a space in the garage.

Tried posting as a new thread, but kept getting an html error screen.

In any case..

It exists! My car was status 152 (paint shop) from last Saturday through when we called yesterday. I was starting to get concerned, but my wife called today and we have updated to 182 awaiting transport! Yeehaw.

Checked the WW site and I was "booked" on the Hudson Leader, but obviously not making that boat as it should be at sea by now I believe. What I'm curious to find out is how folks have been determining the numberous booking numbers assigned to a given ship. I know I've seen posts where several booking numbers for a certain ship were listed, but I can't seem to locate such lists on the WW site.

Thanks!

Well thanks guys and gals,
All of you i have come to love on this HUDSON LEADER post. HOWEVER I guess I have missed my third ship !!!! AIDA,ISOLDE,HUDSON LEADER so I guess my next booking will be the DON JUAN departing 08/03/02 .
I am one of the many people with arrival at terminal dates of 7/26 in the now GBSOU88327B group

The Hudson Leader's call sign appears to be H9JS.

Check this link to verify / search for ship info.

Thank you - my linguistic skills are nil.

Ahh... such happy faces and smiles now ... For many of us, we are underway! See what a couple of deep breaths can do??

According to the Southampton Daily Echo, The Hudson Leader arrived in port at 0600 GMT (1am EST) and departed at 1700 GMT (12pm EST). That means it had 11 hrs to load whatever cars it could. A very quick layover. Sorry to those who missed out, once again...

So if this info is accurate and your WWL status is LOADED ON VESSEL, your MINI has begun the journey across the ocean!

Has anyone had any success in tracking the Hudson Leader at sea? I've seached the both the Oceaweather and Accuweather sites with no success.

[stanMINI]

Thanks Pamlico!

[bassplayer]

Thanks to all for listening and enduring my endless rants over the past few days. I'm loaded on the Hudson Leader!

[zwoman]

Can someone help me figure out when my S will be loaded onto any of the cargo ships??? I can't get the WW cargo tracking thing to work... Help!!!!

[stanMINI]

It is really difficult to say as you can see from these posts. Most of us were "booked" on ships we did not actually make. You need the last 7 characters of your VIN to plug into the WW web site, which you may not wish to post in the forum. If you would like to send it to me in a private message I can enter it and see what it says. I am puzzled why it does not work for you. Did you follow the directions in the FAQ?
