I am not happy. I still haven't been given a build date. everyone of you seems to be getting them.
I talked to one of the crack dealers last night and they told me that I have a week 38 build showing still, but no date or VIN. he went on to tell me that maybe they had already started it and the system hadn't updated yet (I take that with a grain of salt).
I have never done this before, so I am a little uneasy at the answers. Role call time! Who still doesn't have a build date and VIN but is still week 38?

Well Jakeryanitc, they told me week 38, then the next time I called they didn't know. I emailed my MA yesterday and he said I was a 112 code, which means poised at the brink of production (his words), but honestly it says that on the paperwork he gave me almost 2 weeks ago. So I think he's just feeding my addiction a bit. I'm trying not to aggravate the lovely crackpipe folks. Do you think they keep track of how many times this crazy woman has called?

I just called ASK MINI and spoke to a customer service rep. She just repeated the whole "Week 38 with no specific production date" that was on the automated system. When I asked for a status code, she said that the system doesn't give that information.
I think for my mental health I need to walk away from this until next week. Seeing the status "On Order" over and over again is beginning to feel like watching paint dry.

I agree! It is sort of a relief to see other Week 38ers with no change on their order status. I guess its true, "misery loves company"

Got my VIN!
My MA emailed me my VIN this morning!
At the bottom of the page i noticed under the Transport section (after the car leaves the port for the dealer) it said "Self Drive"
I called my MA and he assured me that the car would be trucked along with other MINIs and BMWs (and not driven) to the dealer...
Whew - i don't want anyone driving my car except me, especially for the first 1200 miles.

Ok guys, I have the PC version working it just needs a little beautification. I should have something posted in the tracking thread before the end of the weekend.
Also, does anyone mind it requires the .NET framework 1.0 (a 20mb download from Microsoft)? I think a lot of people already have this, but if it's a problem I can rewrite it using non .NET stuff.

After telling myself I wouldn't call, I had a relapse and had to "Hit the Pipe". Still scheduled for production. Was told to call middle to end of next week and they could give me my VIN. I don't think I can hold out. Now where did I put my sponsers phone number.
I will not call, I will not call, I will not call..............AAAAARG! WHERE IS THE PHONE!!!!!

Ordered 8/08/08
Started Production 9/10/08
Production Finished 9/15/08
Pickup in LV Mini Hopefully 10/20/08
I wonder if it equates that if you ordered on 8/08/08 and started production on 9/10/08, that if I ordered 8 days after you on 8/16/08 that I would start production on 9/18/08?
Actually I'd be okay with that. I wish it was sooner, but I'd be okay with it. It's the not knowing, and calling, and not knowing, and calling, and...... well thats whats driving me nuts.

I wasn't going to call today, I really wasn't but I couldn't resist the siren song of 1-866- CRACKPIPE....I have a VIN!!!!! I am in production!!!!!!!!! I have a completion date of 9/17!!!!!!!!!! I am completely insane. I did an endzone style victory dance in my living room. My children and DH are ready to have me put in a rubber room.

I'm a week 37'er and a lot of us didn't get our VIN and move into scheduled for production on the OL until this past Monday so you could still be fine. Some of the members in our week finished production at the beginning of this week and are already loaded onto ships, yet some of us didn't start production until the beginning of the week and will finish production on this Saturday or Sunday and catch a ship sometime next week...I hope!
Week 38 doesn't actually start until this upcoming Monday. Hang tight, you're probably fine.
