Status 160 finally... I am completly envious of all of you who have MINI's on ships currently...My car sat in the parking lot the whole week.

MiniVa · Sep 23rd, 2002, 07:50 PM

Has anyone track our ship yet? Where is it? I am on the ship and found my self in Bill of Lading Details. I see there is 259 of us on the boat. That is alot of MINI on one boat.

So they shall be here soon.

MiniVa · Sep 23rd, 2002, 07:52 PM

It is the unique code every ship has to make radio calls faster and used for filing weather reports, amonst other things. These appear from time to time on various internet sites allowing obsessive MINI Owners (e.g. ME

) to track ships positions as they cross the Atlantic

Some of these sites such as Ocean Weather and National Data Bouy Center are mentioned on other threads.

Currently there are at least four ships at sea laden with new MINIs:

Aida: SCFI...either still in New Jersey or now on way to Baltimore?

Faust: WRYX...in mid Atlantic on the way to Batimore

Hual Triton: C6QA4..on the way to Halifax, then NJ

...and, sailed at 17:00 GMT Monday [not as per the WW Schedule) is ...

Falstaff: SLCO...on the way direct to NJ

So far in the last 12 hours NONE of the WW ships at sea seemed to have reported in. (Perhaps WW Line Officers are on a "go slow"

I think sleeping will not be a problem, all this recent stress has really worn me out

I got home from work yesterday and slept for 3hrs in the evening

Hopefully the same will happen tonight

If that doesn't happen I think a whole bottle of wine should sort me out

Has anybody been able to see a weather report from any of our boats> Each time I check none are reporting. I guess it is a black hole till the 29th when the Hual Triton hits Nova Scotia.

MINIMENC · Sep 26th, 2002, 10:37 AM

The Fuast seems to be MIA. Hope that she's making good steam and will probably show up soon.

skills0 · Sep 26th, 2002, 02:11 PM

Does anyone know yet why the hell the FAUST is going to Brunswick first? I know it's just a day, but seems out of the way.

Where the heck is Brunswick?...and indeed why Brunswick?

...Come on, own up, there must be at least ONE proud MINI owner to be in or around Brunswick. (I thought it was in Germany...but the Faust must have got awfully confused if that's the case!)
