The Mignon. I'm guessing its called that because they serve Filet Mignon on the ship. Very fancy.

That's when I really started to get excited about mine. I'm hopeful that I'll have it in another week now.

It's funny that yours is booked on a ship already (going to CA) when it's not even finished, and mine is on the way to the port but the VIN doesn't show as booked anywhere yet (going to NJ). Hopefully soon....

Let me clarify. I'm hoping it makes the boat on may 8. It's not booked yet

Me too. I think making the Mignon is a long shot. The next ship to NY sails on the 12th. I feel like that's more likely.

From what I've seen I people's signatures and feedback in another thread, I should be able to make the Tulane. If yours is finishing after mine, though, and the boat leaves a day before, it's going to be tight

My car has completed production and quality checks today. I will follow up with my MA on Monday to see if my car indeed ships on Tamesis on 5/9. I guess I will start looking for car accessories to help the time go by.

Ordered my Clubman yesterday. I expect to get allocation tomorrow

What sort of order->ship timeframes have people been seeing for the Clubman?

I'm crossing my fingers to get delivery in 8 weeks so I can use my Spring Cleaning discount.

Waiting for my New MINI

Hi all,

I ordered my new MINI on April 21st and I was just informed that it's in the body shop with an estimated completion date of May 3rd. This time around is so much faster than when I ordered my 2010. Can't wait!

My new babe is a 2013 Lightning Blue Metallic Cooper S - Manual - Striped Alloy/Piano Black Interior - MINI Connected - 17" Black Bullet Rims - Premium - Comfort Access - Technology - Black Headlight Housing - Rear Fog...and more

Glad to see that others are just as excited to track the progress of the built and shipment across the pond.

Congrats to everyone!

So fast! Great to hear. Gives me hope mine might only be 6 weeks instead of 8.

We literally ordered the same day and ours are estimated to be completed on the same day. Wow!

Shipmates?

On another note, where do I find how to add the signature at the bottom? How do you add the pictures of your build? (Noob, I looked around but couldn't find the "how to") Some people have some nice pictures

I want to hear opinions from all of you. Thank you very much in advance

at Owner Lounge status says: Waiting for transportation

This status was updated an hour ago.

Question is, was the baby recently released from the production, or the baby is waiting for the ship at port of exit, or he is already on the boat?

It might sound crazy that I have created an imagination that mine might be able to catch the ship tomorrow (May 03 that I learned from other replies). If not hopefully May 07. I am quite clueless.

Say congratulations all that knows where your babies are at

When the status of my MIN first said that it was waiting for transportation, it was at the factory, waiting to be transported to the ship. It was the only time that the status was up to date!

I'm also in Denver, also trying to make the Spring Cleaning deadline. I assume you ordered that weekend or shortly thereafter? I ordered on the following Wednesday, so I'm hoping I'm not too far behind you.

Trying not to obsess about it. (Failing.)

My status changed to released to carrier and awaiting transport to port of exit. Now the real waiting begins for it to get loaded on a ship and reach the US.

Did you speak to a live person? The automated version said mines was still in the paint shop yesterday but when I spoke to a live person they had info in the system that production was completed and quality checks were performed.

They told me mine was in the paint shop yesterday but completion set for tomorrow. Since I'm traveling Parallel with TraceH, maybe mines a day earlier and done today?!?
