Picked up my new MC this afternoon and really love it so far. It's just all around a much better car (in my opinion) than my 2006 MC. I really loved that car, so that's saying a lot. Love the feel of a bit more power. Great engine sounds, but much less road noise. The bluetooth connection is awesome. Unfortunately, today is the first day in weeks that it has rained, so I don't have any great photos.

Cheer up! If eenunez1 is correct, your Countryman (and ours) should have been loaded on the Topeka and it's on it's way to Southampton. From what I can tell, the Topeka is now in Belgium.

Obsessively called ASK-MINI again this morning and apparently their phone system is down for upgrade. Maybe that accounts for some of the funky responses?
Also, has anyone else had missing options on the OL Factory Ordered Options box? I'm not talking about the initial completely wrong info when they switch a previous specced car to your order. Everything is correct, except I'm missing the Bluetooth/iPod option. The vehicle inquiry report the MA sent has everything listed correctly, so I'm hoping the OL is just being unreliable.

finally picked her up on Thursday, and have been thoroughly enjoying every minute of driving it. I find myself making excuses to run to the grocery store - stocking up on corn starch and things like that.
To those still waiting - it's completely worth it.
So, here she is on delivery day:
Cheers,
Mark

I have to side with Qball on this one... I don't think our cars have been loaded on... VIN not showing up in cargo ID and my MA (not sure about you, still, Qball) said my countryman is still sitting there....next ship out is Asian Vision on May 5th... which will be the one month anniversary of our cars sitting on the docks....

In other news, I did discover kind of a weird gap towards the back of my driver's side window. It doesn't leak (at least based on my drive home in moderate rain), but it looks funny and doesn't match the passenger door. I kind of thought something looked funny at pickup, and should have investigated further then. I am hopeful the window just needs to be adjusted. I'll see if the dealer can take a look this week sometime.

Looks good Teabert! I'm liking those wheels.
So I called ASK-MINI again, and they said the car was in production, but the lady couldn't tell me at what stage, or when the predicted completion date was. At least it is being made... I think. You get any updated info powerbook?

More than likely your car has been "scheduled for production" rather than IN production. Once it actually enters production it goes to the body shop and they will be able to tell you that. Until then though, it's pretty much a waiting game. Mine "went" into production on 3/30 but actually didn't get into production until 4/9, finished 4/12. All in good time. Just keep thinking how much it's worth it!

Yup. Pretty insane. Body shop the first day. Paint shop the next. Assembly on the final day. Shipped to Southampton that day too. Then caught a boat on the 15th, just three days after completion. I was extremely lucky!
Although I was told the time that it's "Scheduled for Production" (mine would have been 3/30-4/8 they're actually gathering everything for you car so it can be done in just a few days. Anyone confirm that?

Schtuffy, I just got off the phone with ASKMINI and the automated response was that it's scheduled for production with no completion date. Greatly disappointed, I spoke to a CSR and they told me the car was in the body shop!!! Huge relief!! You should call, too, and find out exactly what the deal is. Word on the street is that the next ship over here leaves on the 30th. I'm not too familiar with all the ship routes just yet. Hopefully both of us get on it.

I'm so excited! Ship just left Nova Scotia around 16:30 today. The ship will be coming into NY/NJ the 25th anywhere from 01:00-09:00. The excitement isn't crazy at the moment because I still have exactly two weeks till I actually get to pick him up. May 7th is our day. (Long story. )

That's really weird that the photo is sometimes upside down. I took the photo with my iPhone, sent it to my computer, uploaded it to NAM (where it appeared upside down), rotated it and saved it. Seems okay here, but when I view the thread on the iPhone, the photo is upside down.
Thanks for the positive comments! I'm loving this Mini so much!

Mark
