I can't wait for this all to be over. I'm impatient as it is...but add the stress of selling my old car then there's financing...and then insurance. I'm sure I will forget all my troubles when my mini arrives...but for now...
You really should call the ASK MINI number but talk to a live person and they can give you literally up-to-the-date info and the VIN. Both automated system and OL are delayed. Mine in in production but until last night the automated system said "scheduled with no date" and OL had "On Order".

Good luck selling your car. I just sold mine this week and it's a huge weight off my shoulders. I used ebay Motors and I'm quite please with the price I received and the process.

Hey Bruleto! Deja vu!

I sold my current car last night on Ebay Motors. :P Now I'm really going to be twitching for my MINI, cause I'll have no wheels till it gets here!

Fantastic!

Luckily, my wife is a teacher so she's out for the summer and can perform the role of driver for a few weeks.

Hopefully, our MINIs will make in on the July 30th boat.

Hey guys, another week 31'er here!

My status on OL says "On Order" and my status on the automated system on ASK MINI says, "Scheduled for production with no estimated completion date". So, I wanted to call ASK MINI for a "real time" update. Well, it's a good thing I did- I found out I have an "estimated" completion date of July 29th! Oh my! That's next week! And I just put in my order on Saturday, July 19th!!

The ASK MINI rep said I'm one of the lucky one's that it happens to

So, I apologize to anyone that I was pushed in front of!

Hmm, I'm confused.

I ordered my JCW yesterday. The dealer and sales manager said it's scheduled to be build the week of August 3. An online calculator tells me that's week 31. Is that right? On the OL it's still listed as "On Order" with the original specs, not mine. The dealer said it might take a day or so to update.

So, assuming it gets built the week of August 3, does that make me a week 31 member?

Congrats Reldieh! Lucky indeed. I've waited almost a month to get into production.

Tu13es I think you're Week 32. But who knows? The way orders are bumped up or down it's hard to really know. Congrats on your order! I'm just happy people are finally chiming in on this thread!

Do these threads serve any purpose other than to see when others are getting their MINIs? Just wondering.

August 3 is the last day of week 31. AFAIK the week system at MINI runs MON-SUN.

Well, these threads also provide you with an idea of when and where your car is, without having to do all the tracking yourself.

Plus of course, it starts the whole MINI community thing off right.

Hey all I'm in production with completion date of 7/31. Ordered a DS/W JCW with JCW Aero. My VDC is Charleston SC so hopefully should arrive at dealer in DFW by the end of Aug.

Mine is NY. I'm really hoping for more of a mid-August delivery, but I know that's wishful thinking.

Thanks for the widget link. I have it loaded, and gave it my order no, but it's not working. Says to "enter a vehicle id", although I already did. I have my prod. # and also my VIN #. (a super long number). What am I doing wrong? I'm running Leopard on my iMac.
Thanks!

Go to the MINI Owners Lounge website. Enter your username and password and sign in. Click on Track Your MINI. Bypass the system check screen. When the Track Your MINI page launches look at the url. Put the 7 digit number that appears after "vehicleid=" in the widget. That's it!

Exactly, you have to enter the number which appears in your URL. The production number will not work...

Not yet for me. But according to my MA it's scheduled to complete production on the 31st. That would put me either on the Integrity (leaving Southampton on 8/2) or the Elektra (leaving on 8/5).

Maybe we will luck out and get the Integrity but more likely be the ELEKTRA on Aug 5th. Code changed to Paint Shop today so assembly tomorrow and Final QA on the 30th.

I'll have to call ASKMINI today and find out the status on mine. Sucks that the Owner's Lounge doesn't stay up to date. You have a better chance at the Integrity than I do, since yours will be done a day before mine. But I can still hope!

Timeing is everything, my Dad's came off the line and the next day he was on Turandot heading for the west Coast. So I'll plan on the ELEKTRA and if it happens to be the INTEGRITY I'll hoist a cold one. Cheers
