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

But one of them was mine!

Well for sure...two EB/W's were in the first queue...but I didn't see them load. However..I did see this EB/w at the factory at about the right time for your build. Hope you don't mind the "art" effects

Well, my car is safely at sea, and taking some time to relax by playing some basketball, after all the stress and worry of the factory. Maybe he'll go shopping later at the duty-free.

eBrit, any chance of getting some photos of the docks this weekend seeing the Hual Triton off. You work last week was the bomb. Really exciting to see the ships loading and leaving with Minis aboard. Besides, don't you need an excuse to finish your run in miles.......

Yahooo!

I'm on the Haul Triton! I'm so excited I can barely get any work done! I guess I shouldn't do this at work but HEY!

My MCS was born on the 16th when I was told the 20th, not bad.

Sorry guys...I didn't make it for Saturday when your MINIs were loaded. . But here's a lovely shot of the Hual Triton I took at 11:00 this morning whilst "puting a few miles on" our MINI to run her in (FUN OR WHAT?). The Triton will leave soon...lovely morning

WHOW...Wallenius Whilhelmsen are REALLY COOl

I'd noticed they'd painted all their own ships BRG...but to make the HUAL Line paint theirs Dark Siver & White to celebrate the MCS's on board is a WHIZZZZZ

Has anyone had any luck finding out the call sign for the Hual Triton. So far my email inquiries to WW have gone unanswered......

ebrit

Great job as usual. We all really appreciate your efforts. I think you could have a new career taking of pictures of our "MINI ships". Unfortunately, your only pay is
"cyber-pints".

Have a great day.

Guys,

Just got back from the UK (will post pic's soon).

Looked for the Faust and can't find it - call sign WRYX right? Anybody know where it is? And did anyone clarify where our cars would be unloaded?

Anyway, gotta go. Been travelling since 5am GMT and it's now 5:48 EST. Just couldn't wait to find out where my baby is!

G

PS - OL still does not show any options! :-(
