My MA gave me a print screen of the Vehicle Inquiry when I ordered which shows the port loc on it. If you didn't get that, I'm sure you could ask the MA or possibly ASK-MINI. My MA has been great at keeping me updated, so I really haven't had to call the 800 number.

I'm jealous of all you guys who have taken delivery of your cars. This is the best photo I've seen of my car so far, from www.marinetraffic.com.

Man, that looks awesome. I really dig the options you chose!

I estimate 4-5 weeks until I take possession, which falls within the 6-8 week estimate given to me by my MA.

Thank you... much obliged. I'm looking forward to it.
I didn't order the MINI Connect system because I wasn't going to use it functions and couldn't justify paying for it. The sound quality of the HK Premium Sound Package is beyond what I expected. In fact, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I have the same package on my Clubman with MINI Connect and it doesn't sound as full and dynamic to me. The HK system sounds so much better in the roadster. It definitely has something to do with the cabins close confines as well as speaker arrangement. You made the right decision WolfsBane.

Don't get toooooooo excited yet. My JCW was completed 10 days after the order was submitted - and then sat in Oxford for more than 3 weeks before being shipped to the port. There weren't any trouble codes, but there does seem to be some weird stuff going on over there because it's the end of the run for the model year. I just figure we're getting special treatment since we're at the end of the line for R56 JCWs, and everyone at the factory is overwhelmed with sadness at no longer being able to produce the best MINI ever.

I won't get overly anxious.... know it can sit at the shipping port for weeks and the ride over is a long one. And then there's all the VDC work and the dealer installed options. This is our fourth MINI ordered new, been down that road a few times. Still very suprised at just how fast my baby is being born.

Doubtful !! but very funny !
On a somewhat related note, I'm a member of USAA. They have a new car discount program so when I went on their site, their computer told me I could save $877 by ordering thru their site. Went ahead and submitted it and it forwarded my build a MINI dealership in Rockville.
Well, an hour later, they called me. I apologized and told them I'm loyal to MINI Of Baltimore, having purchased all three of the previous new ones and one of the two used ones from them.
Well, I think I must have said something that got their interest because they keep calling my home and cell phones and leaving me messages telling me they appreciate my loyalty to MoB but they can beat them on price and would love a chance to win my loyalty.

YAYYYYY for you, Zippy !! I bet the rest of the process flies right on by. Well.. maybe not.
Fellow WAITers... help me out. My prettier half tells me this is corny but I think it's a fitting name for my new MINI. Given he's going to be White Silver with a CR roof... a redhead, so to speak. I fell it proper to name him after a famous redhead. And since he's a JCW and built to run, I will name my new MINI... Vincent Van Go. Vincent, for short.
I like it.
