Week 38 Support Group

DooBahDoo -
I placed my order on Tues (9/9). On Saturday (9/13), I called my MA for a production number and was told that I was already in Code 151, with a completion date of 9/17. Today, I was told by ASK-MINI that assembly was complete and I was in QC. Assuming that I went into production on Friday and that QC will only take a day, it seems that 6-7 days for a build is right.
I wouldn't be surprised if your build is completed before the end of this week. I hope mine (and all other 38s) didn't cause any undue slowdowns on the line. We all want smooth, efficient and perfect assembly this week. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for the info and the well-wishes. I'm hoping we all have a successful build week and safe shipping accross the pond.
The guy I talked to on the crackline yesterday said there were system update issues and they were getting conflicting information for people so there must be something going on. I was originally told week 36 but then found out that all '09 builds defaulted to week 36 but then were getting pushed out based on order date, dealer allotment etc. All I know is it's already been a long three plus weeks but I know the wait will be worth it. It's hard not to want to hit the crackline every day though!

Detailed Tracking Instructions
OK folks, I know I've posted this before... but please read this thread about how to track your mini. It will give you the meaning of the codes, the port (where there *may* be a webcam, ho hum), how to read which ship you're on, how to follow the ship via google as we sail across the pond, which port you'll come into, how we'll go thru customs and all the other details we need, so obsessively, to know!

Hey uggbird and gaffer - Congrats.
I got the same msg this morning. Guess QC went smoothly yesterday. If I'm reading the WW site correctly, it looks like we have 3 chances to hop aboard a carrier to get across the pond quickly.
Don Quijote departs 9/19, arrives Charleston 10/2,
Patriot departs 9/20, arrives Charleston 10/4,
and Undine departs 9/23, arriving Charleston 10/7.
Any one of these might have us motoring before Columbus Day (unless the bonnet stripes slow you down a bit at the VDC). Let's hope a bunch more 38ers can join us for the trip.
