I'm also scheduled for the Hual Triton. I was really hoping to make the Arial last week but now I'm just glad to have the information. With any luck we might have our cars by mid Oct.

Yes, it is confusing. The falstaff (eb230) departs Sunday. A number of us are booked faust (ec219) which departs Wednesday but isn't on the web schedule. Go figure. The Faust also take a long time to cross for some reason. The Faust goes from Southhampton to NewYork to Charleston over the period of 9/18 to 10/4. The Falstaff goes from Southampton to Baltimore to Charleston over the period 9/22 to 10/2! It get's there earlier but leaves later. Maybe they use the MINIs to propel the boat.

I can't believe we new something before you, eBrit. You seem to know about all the goings on over there.

chiph · Sep 17th, 2002, 03:34 PM

I think there's something odd going on -
I'm booked on the Faust, voyage EB230-FAU. Departs Southhampton 18/9/2002, arrives Baltimore 30/9/2002, Brunswick GA 3/10/2002, and then Charleston SC 4/10/2002.

It goes further south (to Georgia), and then hits Charleston on it's way back north. Maybe they couldn't get a berth at the State Port Authority's Union Pier terminal until the 4th.

See: http://www.port-of-charleston.com/cu...onterminal.asp

MY GOODNESS

I was even talking to the Wallenius Whilhelmsen Dockside Manager this afternoon (a tale I'll tell when its done

)

If only I'd known I'd have asked more. but even the Port Arrivals/Departures doesn't "list" Faust

And she's a new name in the MINI saga

You have a MYSTERY SHIP on a MYSTERY VOYAGE

OOOh Errr

chiph...smackingly good photo ...any idea of the WW berthed in it?

eBrit

chiph · Sep 17th, 2002, 10:28 PM

eBrit -
The photo is from the State Port Authority web site - I can't take credit. But it is a nice one!

No idea what particular ship that is. W-W apparently bought them by the dozen. But if you look closely, you can see that they're transporting construction equipment.

They often do. They have two or three "reinforced decks" and more ordinatuy ones. I've seen Aida in early summer sharing her copious holds between MINIs and diggers!..the reinforced holds taking the diggers.

.."by the dozen"...

Nice fleets though.. the Huals and the ex-Olsen Lines. These last seem to be the main MINI carriers. And what classy names...

Aida
Fidelio
Figaro
Don Juan
Falstaff
Traviata
Medea
Isolde
Boheme
Faust
Rigoletto

...so where did Jingu Maru come from? A little known Japanese opera

...perhaps she should have beeen the "Madame Butterfly" (....I know there's the Tanabata, and the Tenebe, etc.). However, I think that Carmen is by far the most apt...don't you?

eBrit

TODAY I collect...YES

forma · Sep 18th, 2002, 02:09 AM

thanks!

called again today and was given code 182 waiting to be transported by train to the port!

they should put a webcam on the train and the boat me thinks

Bejeweled huh? That game is almost as bad as crack!

Awesome - she's getting closer!!!!

So who else is on the boat?

MiniShuttle · Sep 18th, 2002, 09:55 AM

Sitting on the dock waiting to get on.

Martin L · Sep 18th, 2002, 01:11 PM

Right, I've just got off the phone with my dealer and had to do some serious ass kicking to get my car.
It's been sitting at the distribution centre since Monday and they weren't going to call it down until next week

They said my scheduled delivery date was 26th so why bother getting it early!!!!
Well I just said gee thanks for consulting me, get the f*****g thing a.s.a.p.!!!!
It's now been called down and it will be in my hands on Monday, at worst Tuesday

So all of those of you out there (UK) waiting, get onto your dealer and make sure that they know you want your car as soon as they can get hold of it.

After waiting all this time for my S you would have thought they would have guessed I wanted it a.s.a.p.

Good luck to all other week 36ers

MINI Shuttle...only for you

I couldn't bring myself to delay picking up my MCS from the dealer...and he'd have shut

...but the VERY FIRST THING I DID as a brand new MCS owner was take a short detour (about 30 miles) to get this piccie of Faust at Sunset for you

eBrit

eBrit · Sep 18th, 2002, 06:03 PM

The voyage looked so inviting I nearly decided to embark....

eBrit · Sep 18th, 2002, 06:06 PM

....but I didn't

After a very long, exciting, and enjoyable day ...I'm at home ready for "lights out" (these "see you home lights" are good, aren't they?)

Night-night

chiph · Sep 18th, 2002, 06:36 PM

I'm loaded on the Faust!

eBrit -
Did you see me? Did you see me?

EB/W MCS, no sunroof, probably a ton of them were loaded.

But one of them was mine!

MiniShuttle · Sep 18th, 2002, 07:00 PM

eBrit, You are a gentleman and a scholar (don't worry, I won't tell anyone). Thankyou, thankyou. Pints for all and a toast to eBrit.

Cheers

I think (maybe just hope) that it will be two to four weeks. I have talked to people who have had their cars held up at the dock or VDC for over two weeks. Who knows, maybe we'll be motoring by the 15th. The more before the snow the better.

Good Luck
