My Baby is in the Paint Shop

Hi Everyone!

I ordered my new Cooper on May 26th. I'm happy to report that it's now in the paint shop (getting a nice coat of Chili Red w/white roof) and that it should have final assembly and quality check completed by early next week.

The whole process is moving along nicely...more quickly than I had hoped for...I may have a premie!

Thanks for the info on tracking. 866-ASK-MINI had volumes more info than the OL.

I'm a West Coast delivery, so a conservative estimate for delivery to port here is mid July. I can't wait!

Congratulations!! I just learned today that my MINI is in the body shop and should be completed 6/9 or 6/10. I'm also out on the West Coast so we'll probably be getting our cars around the same time. From what I researched it looks like the boats for the West Coast leave 6/11 and 6/25, so the latest they would come over would be the end of July. Can't wait!!

Hey! Congrats to you as well! It looks like we are on very similar schedules. Our MINIs will be best friends by the time the hit Port Hueneme. The ASK-MINI rep told me yesterday that he predicts that it will be on the West Coast by July 20th! That may be optimisic, but the sooner the better!
