AIDA at SEA with your MINI?

Well. I just spotted her. Got home and it's 6:15am. Just had to check on the whereabouts of my vehicle. Well. try clicking on the northern Atlantic portion of this and looking for SCFI, our vessel's call sign. Thar she blows!!!!

Yep, my car is on the Aida. I have been checking the W&W site to see if the status has changed, but the latest record says that it was loaded. I was expecting a "departed" status or something. When I checked the ocean observations I was surprised to see how far out to see it is!

Mine is onboard. Can't wait.
The closer it gets the more anxious I get.

If you use your Vin number you can see exactly when it was loaded, to the minute. Maybe even when it is off-loaded. We'll have to see. It should arrive in New York, NY on Wed the 28th. Then it is just a matter of how long it take to get it to the local dealer.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk! I can't stand it!!!

Saw a very pretty Sea Mist Green Cooper up in Portland, ME this weekend. Some lucky blighter already has his, and is doin' some motorin'!!!!

Motor on, Dudes and Dudettes!!!

Try going to "http://schedule.2wglobal.com/GLMebApps.AppTracking" then go to "track by" and enter your VIN #. That should give you something.

If you do not have your VIN # you need to contact your dealer and he will provide it.

AIDA not turning up. Looking for days.

Perhaps the new later arrival date has something to do with an alien abduction. I can find no trace of the boat presently.

I can see it (SCFI) almost every time I look. The secret is to look at the "Marine Data" view, for the North Atlantic / Southern area. Then, once the map comes up look at the top right of the window and click on the "Java Loop" link. This will cycle thru the last 3 snapshots of the picture. Almost without fail AIDA (SCFI) will show up in at least one. You can also click on "Observation Table" and look for SCFI. If it's in that table, it will be on the map.

Good Luck, AIDA gets closer every day.. I can't wait!

Is this being transported on a submarine? I also cannot see this vessel chugging over to the states. You must be in the Navy.

I have finally found the ship!!! Looks like it will be passing by Nantucket this afternoon. Going past Block Island Sound by evening. Just a matter of time. Maybe I will charter a boat and watch it pass.
