I am also trying to 12 step to hold off on calling 866-CRACKPIPE until Thursday, maybe tomorrow. I think we will have to have a production party, on the boat party, VDC party. The ultimate party is when we fly into LV to pickup the MCCSm PW/B, we might have to rent out a club there or something. I am going crazy waiting for the VIN.

Hi Everyone,
I'm a newbie, and it seems a week 38-er too. That 1-866-CRACKPIPE is hysterical! Called them yesterday, for the first time- nice guy I spoke with. Really helpful! Looks like I had originally been week 37 and then bumped up (I think the factory had a vacation in August?). The "pusher" said I should go into production on Sept. 14 and out on Sept 20... then 17 days in the water (must be the james bond version!) to arrive in Charleston (will my MCCS say "y'all?") and delivery to moi at the end of October.
It took me a while to find out about NAM- and then even longer to join and get activated. That *may* be why there aren't many on this group, they may be having a similar experience? Just a thought.
I hope you don't mind if I join you and bite my nails in company
Thanks- Vivi
on order- '09 MCCS HC/S, Convenience/Premium/Cold, HC Lounge/Cream white color line/brushed alloy and a bunch of bells and whistles!

Thanks for the info Steve- That pulse feature is cool. Here's a tip, if you have a mac, there is a widget for it to track your mini... I found this in the First Gear, How to Track your MINI: Revised, Expanded and Updated
The widget (again for Mac and I believe it's only for OSX) is found here:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.com...d.php?t=145648
And thanks, I can't wait to see my car in person
You're sounds wonderful and FAST! A fun car to drive! And is going to be BEAUTIFUL! Wow -

Hi All,
I think I'm in this week with you?! Monday they said I was a Week 38, but the guy said it all depended on when my production started. Called back today & the automated system said my baby's in production with a scheduled completion date of 9/16.
Does anyone know what port my Mini would go to since I live in Kansas City? I'm thinking Charleston, SC? How do I find this out. The guy at ASK MINI asked me what port and I asked him how I would know??? He figured it would either be NJ or SC??? Why wouldn't he know? I've tried to read as many threads as possible, but didn't see an answer to this. Maybe I missed it? Sorry if it has been asked before.
Thanks! This is a wonderful site.

CHSPA. That's where mine is coming and I'm in middle TN- about 8 hours from you I think- I would suspect it would be the same for you (NJ is pretty far away, imho)
You can find much more information about how to track your mini in the thread "How to Track Your Mini: Revised, Expanded & Updated" at: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=144057
There is some incredibly informative info there.
Best of luck- Vivi

I was a PC user up until '06 when I just got fed up with having to know how to fix the stupid thing (my husband is a techno geek and fixes PC's for a living... all from his Mac!).
Unless I'm using it incorrectly, the Pulse only lets you know when a new post is being made, whereas the Widget checks the status of your mini on order (instead of you having to go to the owner's lounge and listen to the music while waiting for your info to load... only to find that you're still "on order")
But the widget won't work on PC's... so, my friend, you must bravely go to the owner's lounge for your daily (hourly?) checks and PLEASE let us know if the background music changes (roflmao!)

I couldn't stand it... I called back and talked to a rep. and was told that the "system" is down, can't look up the start date, but we have a completion date of 9/16. (Apparently they don't just offer information, you have to specifically ask.) I asked if it had a VIN yet and she said yes, so I asked and got the VIN number too! In the owner's lounge it only says on order.
TNminimama: If you have the Vehicle Inquiry Report from when you ordered your car (that has your options and prices on it) in the upper right corner it has the abbreviation for the port location. Our Clubman is going to Nashville via Charleston Harbor.

Jeremyjcw - see what you started... the hotline is now forever known as 1-866-CRACKPIPE...
MiniMama - my wife is a retired school teacher and used Macs at her school and always loved them. i spent 30 years in software even before PCs existed and the companies i worked for always used PCs. Since i retired i've been doing web development and really wish i could move to the Mac - i have so darn much software on the PC it will be painful, although Adobe will switch your licenses for free. i have so many other extraneous programs that migrating or repurchasing them is a daunting and expensive task.
Mac wannabee...
btw - even my wife recognizes the Owner's Lounge music now (catchy tune...)
