I got to see my new MINI for the first time yesterday! Granted the ride height is a little high right now due to it's being in transport mode yet, nothings been done to it other than a quick wash before the pictures. I couldn't get any really great pictures because of the MINI event going on. More to follow upon pickup!

Ugh, you guys who ordered an MCS after me (Mar. 26) are killing me. Twelve days into this and I still can't get the dealer to give me any info. Not even a production number. Best case is they just can't be bothered. Don't even want to consider the worst case. So I'm still crossing my fingers that ours are on the line together somewhere...

Awesome! I am due to pick up my roadster next Saturday. I have to travel 6 hours to the dealer. T-6 days and counting!

Congrats x 2! If you look at my signature line that can give you a base line on how long it will take to get here. Minus a few days due to you being on the east coast. Also depends on what parts are added when the MINI leaves Southhampton and when it arrives in Baltimore. Last and final factor would be getting it aboard a ship, some MINI's have to wait longer that others. Good luck and happy motoring!

For what it's worth to future Canadians looking for ordering info, what I've learned is:
1. Mini Canada will let you special order options that aren't officially available here, but be prepared for this to add time to the process. This opens up the more comprehensive options list of Mini USA.
2. Although we have no Owners Lounge to track the car online, you can call 1-866-DRV-MINI and take option 3 to speak to a person who will give you production updates. For whatever reason, Mini Canada doesn't advertise that you can do this, but when you call they're happy to help.
Now comes the obsessive tracking of the build. At least living in the same town as the port of entry means no wait for train transport at the end of the process!
