Halifax Port Revealed
I did some detective work. Here's what I came up with:
Since the MINI is in production from June 6th to June 12th, I checked out the cargo ship schedules. The only port that makes sense en route to Toronto is Halifax, Nova Scotia. Sure, New Jersey is closer, but someone pointed out to me that the car would have to go through customs and all that crap. I'm not even sure if there is a rail link from NJ to Toronto anyway. Toronto has a port, but the cargo company doesn't seem to ship there.
Okay ... so the only cargo ship that goes from Southampton to Halifax in June is the Don Pasquale. Call sign ED517-DOP. It leaves Southampton on June 19th and arrives in Halifax on June 26th. Wallenius Wilhelmsen doesn't really make it clear where their port is (unless you're from Dartmouth / Halifax), but I'm pretty sure I found it by finding their postal code! Take a look:
Autoport in Halifax (satellite)

Once in Halifax, it would go via rail to the Toronto area. Where in Toronto, I'm not sure. But I will find out! It's fun doing all of this detective work! Stay tuned.
