I haven't seen a thread for Week 38 builds yet, so I am sorry if there is one and I missed it. I am sefinitely feeling happy that I have a date scheduled, but it seems so far away still! Anyone else in the Week 38 group?

We are waiting on "Lola", a Nightfire Red Clubman (details below in my signature) and I know that the wait will be worth it, but it doesn't make it any easier to take!

 

I am bumping to be sure that we week 38ers don't get buried in the threads. I am seriously the only one in week 38 so far?

 

sorry id join ya but im a 40. keep bumping!

 

I am bumping yet again....seriously, I am the only one here with a week 38 build?? I wonder if week 38 is reserved for Nightfire Red Clubman or something . Hoping someone will come along soon to share my anxiety.

 

Hang in there jumboshrimp--I waited 2 1/2 MONTHS to get a production number! I ordered a 2008 Clubman on 5/18 and because of dealer allotment I'm getting a 2009. Probably a backlog thing happening with the transition to the 2009 models--I'm sure you'll find other week 38ers soon.

 

Me, too!
I was told week 38 this morning.
Trying not to obsess. Failing.

 

Yeah! Some company in my misery! What do you have on order spark? Details!!!! We need details!!!!!

I am glad there is another week 38er now, I was starting to worry that my MINI was the only one being born that week

 

I'm "tentatively" week 38 too or so says ASK MINI. No firm build day yet though.

 

PW/PW cold pkg, front fogs, english oak trim/mfsw, ipod/bluetooth, white turn signals, sport suspension. Also, it's currently configured with roof rails and alarm, neither of which I much want (but my husband does) -- I'm lobbying for sport seats and the premium package . . . .

We are both over-thinkers and will probably finalize at the last possible moment.

 

Welcome aboard the Week 38 train (or should I say ship) SirParlan! I totally hear ya about the "overthinking" spark. We changed a few things and played with the configurator a million times before finalizing out order (and of course may sneak in another change or two before the build)...it is the nature of the beast. We had the black and cream cloth leather combo all set until by husband decided he hated it (after having seen it in the configurator about five million times) and we switched to the Lounge Leather which is what I had always wanted anyway, but he had originally thought was too expensive...hey, at least it will give you plenty to do and think about until the lock-down date :-)

 

I just got bumped fm w40 to w39. Do I hear w38??

 

Just found out today that we're Week 38. No firm build date yet. We ordered an SS/BK Clubman S .... Go Week 38ers!
This is our first post!

 

Congrats on your order OceanMini! I love the SS/BK color choice. Glad to see a few more Clubmans on the line for that week :-)

 

I was wondering ... do you think they schedule a bunch of Clubmen for the same production week, or is it catch-as-catch-can?

I noticed the clubbie factor during Week 38 -- seems like a good week. It's after the big European vacation month of August, so people should be going back to work with smiling faces, ready to build us some excellent cars.

I dream of sparkling silver ...

I had the same thought about how they do the Clubmen versus the Cabrios versus the "regular" Coopers....if they "batch" the body types together for production or not. I guess that is something I can ask the nice folks at ASK MINI when I call them to confirm my build date for the 87th time

So far, the weekly build threads seem to have a mix, so I am not sure how they structure the production. Possibly they have several lines, one for each body type. Seems like it would be inefficient to just mix them up *****-nilly.

 

Just got my production number yesterday for my 09 MCS and I cannot wait. Dealer ship here in Atlanta tells me we are looking at mid to late October for delivery but I am keeping my fingers crossed for an 2nd week Oct delivery...lets see how it goes. Good to finally be a part of this wonderful forum.

 

The MA told us week 40, I called today and was told also "tentatively" week 38. I will try not to get excited until I see it starting in production early.

 

All these people getting bumped forward makes me wonder if I could be so lucky too....not that I don't love all of you guys, but anything that gets my mini in my hot little hands sooner is definitely better. I guess I should call and check!

 

I am still seeing lots of people getting pushed ahead in production, but not me (so far)....I am waiting to see who gets a VIN in the OL first. I check daily, but so far nothing...I assume it is still too early for us.

 

We just heard today we are on the week 38 build. Now there is a light at the end of the highway.

 

I finally made it! I was told I was a week 36 first time owner, but got the news yesterday I got pushed to week 38...

I ordered a base model 2009 mini cooper hardtop with a cold weather package, tinted windows and an ipod connector. Nothing fancy, but these cars already come with so many great features!

I will probably put new tires and rims on it soon and am considering driving lights in the front.

I just wanted to say hi and I will be around.

 

Oh good, more people for week 38.....so close and yet still so far away!!

Please post whenever you can with updates. I am dying to see who gets a VIN assigned first and who gets to go into production first....almost there guys!

 

Gosh I cannot wait...it's kinda pathetic but I have been dreaming about her everyday...week 38 cannot come sooner. Anyone with VIN assigned first please post here and if you receive any other information please do as well.

 

You must be like my spouse HTClubman who dreams about the car every night. Can not wait to get the VIN number and see it go into production.

 

Yes The anticipation makes this even better!!
