this is so frustrating and exciting at the same time. i've always wanted a mini and i'm finally in a position to get one. i actually placed my order at the dealership on nov. 3rd. i didn't get a production number until nov. 8th and have still not been able to get anything other than 'scheduled for production' online or through ask-mini. my MA said that another order that was placed the same day as mine went into production nov. 13th. she still thinks it will arrive in december sometime but i'm beginning to wonder.
i'm glad i found this place to vent. i'm sure my friends and family are tired of hearing about it.

no, mine isn't JCW. just a velvet silver MC. the only things i added were black bonnet stripes, H/K, and anthracite headliner. looking at the delivery dates of others here, i'm hoping i'll have mine either the weekend before or right after christmas. i'm in oklahoma so it will take a while to get to the dealership. i've never looked forward to christmas so much.

Mine went in the same day, Amberda. Is yours a JCW? If so, it may take longer. I was told by my MA this weekend that the JCWs take longer because they have to order different parts than the rest of the lineup. He also said as of that date (Nov. 3) no more JCWs were allowed into allotment for November. Mine's been on "Scheduled for Production" over two weeks. He says it should be built the first week of December and arrive just before Christmas. If yours isn't a JCW, you'll probably have it sooner than that.

The Asian King was loaded at Southampton on 11/13, so if anyone on the West Coast is wondering if they are on it, use the WW tracking page and plug your VIN into the far right box (for cargo) and click 'track'. My MA still doesn't have the info that our car is on that ship, but unquestionably it is. So, be proactive!

Who else is on the Asian King?

The interminable wait is nearly over! Ordered my spice orange convertible with toffee seats and beige interior on Oct. 19. I was prepared to settle in for a LONG wait, but production began Oct. 24 (I guess my dealer had slots available), completed Nov. 2. It hopped on the next ship out of Southampton on Nov. 7, arrived Baltimore last night. By tracking the ship's movements around Baltimore harbor, it offloaded at the VDC last night. I'm hoping they are motivated to get it out to me soon, as I'd love to be able to pick it up in Columbus over Thanksgiving weekend.
I know I have been blessed so far to have such a quick production and shipping schedule, but that doesn't make it any easier to wait these last few days. Anybody have any recent experience how long the Baltimore VDC is taking to clear cars, especially around the holiday?
Cheers,
Eric Lucas
PS To others waiting, DON'T TRUST on the OL. Mine didn't even show up there until it was halfway across the Atlantic. It kept telling me that my 2008 pepper white with a black hardtop was at my dealer in Nashville, TN! (I'm guessing they re-use the production order numbers....) 1-866-ASK-MINI wasn't much better.

Woohoo! my light white countryman Casper made it onto Bess and will be arriving at Port Huneme 12/12. In time for christmas! :D Anyone else on the ship with him??
Also side question, any one here know if it's possible to change the final destination now that the car's already in motion? I'd like to have the car delivered to a dealer closer to home.
