Week 37 support group
#153
Week 37, but feeling like a week 36'er. I'm with the group that is scheduled to be built by 09/08/2008. I found out when I was at the dealer today. The owners lounge and the automated Ask Mini still are not updated, but the live customer service rep was able to confirm that my mini went into production today. It does seem a little more real that I have a VIN #, but until I'm driving off the lot, it might as well be a dream.

It should take somewhere between 19 to 21 days to CA. Once they are done at the VDC, our Mini's will be trucked. I believe it'll take another 3 days (I am in Washington State) before they arrived at the dealer.

Yeah for you Napria! Congrats! I can't wait to get the news. Now that us week 37'ers are seeing some action, I broke down and call askmini twice today but I'm still just scheduled for production slated for anytime after this Sunday 7th with no VIN # yet.
Do you remember what day you ordered? I ordered my MINI on Aug 8... it feels like a lifetime ago- ugh
Hopefully I'll hear something soon too.

Kellypgh,
I ordered mine on 08/02 and was told by ask mini that I would be a week 37'er. I haven't seen any change on the OL yet, but given what others have said, that doesn't surprise me. I know that doesn't help you much, but the wait is killing me and I just had to chime in. I'm trying to not drive my wife crazy with all this
Congrats, Napria! I hope we all have similar news to report soon.

The OL indicated a VIN # yesterday on "Rupert" and ASK MINI told me today that his estimated completion date will be 9-5. Hopefully, if all goes as planned, I will be driving my 09 Chili Red/JCW by the 2nd week of October When I ordered my 05 Cabrio it took exactly one month from production date to delivery.

Call ask mini and talk to someone live or your MA if you want more detail
Slight possibility of catching the ship on the 8th but your probably looking at the 12th.

In production!!
Ask Mini told me a few minutes ago my MINI is in production!!
Got a VIN # but could not wrestle out of them a completion date.
She had 2 pieces of info: 1. in production 2. Start production 9/08/08
I am planning on the 2nd week in Oct for delivery in Memphis, TN.
Maybe I should call the new clubbie "Elvis"?

Week 37 Star Date 9/8/08
I spoke to Ask Mini today because the website is not showing any progress on my CLUBMAN S with JCW package. And, the local dealer MA is a drip.
She said my start date is this Monday and it should take a week and a half to complete production, then off to Southhampton for a possible 2 week wait for shipping, then approximately a 15 day trip to Charleston, SC, then off to Greenville, SC distribution center for the custom add ons (approximately a week depending on availability and Hurricanes in the Atlantic ((same on shipping on the latter))), then back to Charleston, SC for dealer sign off and then, hopefully they will call me to write the check and drive away.
So, I am thinking Thanksgiving for delivery. The lady at Ask Mini said not to expect it any earlier than late October (last week) or November (first week).
Since we have 3 Tropical Storms (wiht potentials to become Hurricanes) lined up in the Atlantic, and one named Hannah that seems to have an affinity for Charleston or the surrounding area, the dealer may get blown away.

Sept 8 build date
Called AskMini yesterday and got my production date of Sept 8. I guess that puts my MCS in week 37!
I only made a few changes in my order while waiting since August 12 when I ordered the Mini. I changed from Punch black to Black lounge and finally to Redwood Red. My MA did not tell me you could pick the interior trim, so, it was set at Piano Black. I changed that to Oak when I realized you could take your pick!
I was told that it would be finished by Sept. 15, and then sent to shipping.
HooRay!!!

OMG
Just spoke to Ask Mini, my Clubman S will be done on 9/8 and shipped on 9/15. I was told earlier this week by Ask Mini my car would start on 9/8. Today my MA called and said in was already in production, so that is why I called Ask Mini.
I should see my car around the first week of October.
HOO HOO
