After a long trek from Southampton, Brasilia Highway carrying my next MINI is finally close enough to the USA coast that AIS can track it! The predicted route of course takes it to the Port of Brunswick where I assume my car will be unloaded to VPC:

UPDATE: Here’s a GIF sequence of Brasilia Highway approaching and docking at the Brunswick VPC; watch for the tugs heading out:

Thanks to my MA Pratik at Orlando MINI, I now know that my next MINI is on the ship Brasilia Highway, somewhere in the Atlantic ocean! Online ship tracking seems limited; the last known position is a few days ago:

K-Line has no tracking service, but their shipping schedule details match Pratik’s information, that the car left Southampton on December 28th, 2015; it appears to be headed for Brunswick, GA, arriving in about a week.

So unless there’s any delays at VPC, I think the car should be at the dealership by about the 20th …

It’s been a long time since the last MINI USA website tracking update, and I really hope that the car has been en route for a while already! It seems a curious coincidence that right after my comments yesterday, the website finally updates – but at least it has now updated!
