Thanks for the comment!
Don't feel too bad, I ordered mine on 4/11 and I still haven't taken possession. More pictures when I pick it up after the Aero Kit is on.
Fate was definitely on your side with this one, that would have been horrible to have your MINI pummeled on a truck on the way to you. It would have been bad enough if that happened while it was home.
What the heck is Oklahoma doing having hail at the end of May let alone softball size. There were no tornado warnings or anything there, right?

Congratulations fatboy97 and a Dash of Red!!!
Both MINI's look fantastic.
That Little Blue Meanie does look mean! (sorry they only had this in red)
As far as a Little Dash of Red....You weren't kidding, sweet simplicity! The splash of red really pop's I'm sure right when the door opens.
As for me?..........

Anytime I see a Pepper White MINI in person I have to stop and stare. They are so sharp. Congrats.

Congrats to everyone who has recently picked up their MINIs. Mine was supposed to complete production today. I'll find out if we're on schedule tomorrow. In the meantime, I bought my first aftermarket item... a nice set of wheels (and I'm going ahead and ditching the RFs since I'm moving from 16" to 17")

I do have to ask why you have to install the JCW brakes yourself?
JCW breaks aren't a part of the package?
I don't mean to be stupid but when I was working up to ordering mine, there was no JCW package for Spice Orange or Automatic.

-Port Hueneme, CA (Port Loc = PHMPOA): WW, ~21 days for transport (thanks krim)
Geesh, that seems like a long time. Getting impatient, the popcorn is stale. Called AskMINI and they said it's in production. Ordered it the weekend of Mothersday. Seems like it's taking longer than most.

Since we wanted an automatic we couldn't order the JCW ROadster, but we wanted the JCW body kit (which is labeled as JCW Package on the configurator), which we ordered. By ordering the brakes separately, and installing myself, I saved a few hundred dollars.

Thanks everybody for the nice comments on my Little Blue Meanie... she sure did look great on the dealer's showroom floor. And it sure was a pleasure driving home... even with rush hour... and then straight into the garage. I'll get a chance to drive her a bit more tomorrow, since I'm taking tomorrow off to make a nice long weekend.
Now I know some of you are just starting the process... and sometimes it can be a little long, or it feels that way... and in PMKNHD's case I'm leaning toward the "it WAS/IS LONG" side. I know I was on the short side... it was 5 1/2 weeks from placing the order to picking her up... 5 weeks was Memorial Day (Monday) and I picked her up yesterday (Wednesday after Memorial Day)... all I can say is WOW!!! Even with a holiday in the way at the end... WOW!!!
Now all the people at work want to see her.
Sometimes you are luck... sometimes you are not. Just hang in there and your new MINI will be home soon.

When I called AskMini, she couldn't tell me when it was scheduled to be complete. I guess I have to ask the MA.

Not all ASK-MINI Customer Relations reps are created equal, sometimes you will get one who does not know the system entirely or is unfamiliar with the process, sometimes you will get incredibly personable and highly informative reps. Call back multiple times to ensure the information you’ve been given matches with what other reps tell you.

I had the same issue. After 32 years of nothing but manual shift I now needed an automatic. When I ordered, like you I wanted a JCW but as I didn't offer one with auto or the spice orange for that matter.
The only things on my clubman that aren't JCW are the brakes wheels and suspension. ( besides little details like shift **** and other cosmetics)
They also started the JCW package for the clubman just after mine was in production.
I call it Pumpkinhead: S Clubman JCW Modified.
Now that Mine's at the dealers getting the aero kit installed, the JCW's are going to have an automatic option.
I'm still glad mine's a 2012. It will be a very low mileage 2012 if I ever go to resell.
Enjoy your Roadster: JCW Modified

I am expecting to get the Alien Ship Unlocker Starter Thingy today or tomorrow.
Motor on!
