Got some good news a few hours ago... The truck with my car was due at the dealership any moment! Based on my work schedule, i set up an appointment to pick up my coupe on Friday afternoon. That will give them time to do the prep and install a 3M clear bra. Can't wait!!

Long wait, but you can now just enjoy the ride. Question -- are you a 3 MINI family or did you trade one in?

I'm expecting an update on the backorder status of my stripes tomorrow. I'd love to have them in and put on sometime this week since Monty will be making his grand debut to my family this weekend. Pleeeez let my stripes be here soon!

Sounds like both of you have been waiting longer than I. I ordered on the 1st of August. Hoping for late sept delivery. Glad to know there are others in the same boat. I ordered a Hyde Park addition of the cooper hatchback.

I suspect I'll see it around the end of September. So just a lot of waiting, sort of gotten used to it at this point!
Good to know your completion date. Makes me think they will be back up and running next week then.

I can't wait to get into my new MINI, my fiance' is already tired of hearing me sigh when I see another MINI on the road!
My husband has been hearing that sigh for almost 2years now. Ever since we traded in my 2007 on his dream truck. Now it's my turn and I can wait.

So, according to their website, the Oxford plant is in production shutdown until August 28th...I'll be waiting a little bit longer I guess...

Yay!! Thursday will be here before you know it. Glad our 'group' is starting to take delivery of our cars!

I'm still HOPING for Friday -- a little noise today about getting payment from my credit union, but hoping to get that sorted and still keep my Friday appointment.

That is great news. Hopefully since mine is still saying the 22nd that something didn't happen during delivery. Everybody else seems to be getting theirs pretty quick after the VDC.

I soon shall be motoring with everyone else.

That's a great looking ride! Is the wait now harder that you know it's here and have seen it?

I guess mine won't be ready to pick up until Friday or Saturday :(

There's some sort of service department backup at the dealership, so they can't get the JCW kit installed until Thursday or Friday. Color me disappointed.

Bea-u-ti-ful! I don't know how you aren't calling in a sick day right now

Just called in for an update on my stripes...there is no update. No idea when they'll come in, just that they're still on backorder.
