Just got off the phone with ASK-MINI. Here's what the rep told me:
"The program we use to track vehicle status is down right now. We had some software updates over the weekend, and they're still working on it. The last info we have is a couple of days old. We're asking people to call back this afternoon for updates."
I just called them, their system is back up, but they don't have any info updates since friday for me.... so all i know is that it is being built, started friday. I want to know where in the production line it is sort of thing.
I wanted more info then just hearing my car started production on the 30th... I thought I was going to be able to find out where in production the car actually is....
aaannnd i noticed on my order details page, it doesn't say what transmission I chose.... does it only list it if you got the auto transmission? anyone know?
dwf137- I think you are right in that the transmission only shows if you got auto (I didn't) that makes sense since it would be an option and man. is standard.
Which decodes to this:

I just called ASK MINI.... you were all wrong about today being my day..
I was pushed back to week 24. I'm staying in this group though.... I hate this whole process.
Well, at the end of THIS process, we'll all become MINI OWNERS and the "week" thing won't matter anymore. Just now it's just exciting and nerve-wracking.
called ASK mini around 1130EST, thomas said he didnt see where it is in the production line, but it is definitely at the Body shop or beyond b/c he had my VIN for me...
