I got a VIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Started production yesterday (7/6 @ 5:08 AM). Didn't find out the timezone :smile:
The automated robot guy says that it is scheduled to be finished by 7/15 - I hope it doesn't take that long! It is:
HB/B
Premium
Chrono Pack
DSC (for resale value)
Anthracite int (not headliner)
FORGOT: Armrest
: )

But you say the date of completion is the week it is built - do you mean "finished" or "production started"?

That was thanks to the Wallenius site -- had to enter the VIN for tracking across the ocean... about 25 times a day...

My insurance agent, banker, and even my MA all laughed when I could tell them my VIN from memory.

But, I think it will come in handy. Somehow.

Ooooooo...you got the date AND time!!! Very good! MINI should send out little b&w MINI sonograms...you know, all scratchy looking...where you can barely make out your MINI and the factory robots. I know that sounds weird but MINI owners would love that with an imprint of the time and date. Okay, I would!! Hey...they've done weirder stuff, right!!! :smile:

Now I have two VIN's! The website updated finally, and it lists a "lower" number than what ASK MINI said. Interesting. I hope this means it will be built sooner! (delusions, delusions)
SRTech - did you get the VIN from the website, or from ASK MINI? Either way it doesn't matter, but I would like to be sure so as to track it to the USA. I'm trying both #'s in the WWW site daily (uhh, hourly ) to see when it shows up.

How are you all getting all this extra information?? All my Owners Lounge says is "Scheduled For Production" and it has a VIN number. It has been that way since July 4th weekend. Seems a little strange to me when everyone else is talking about production dates and all that. Where else should I be looking for this type of information? I am hoping that i get my car sooner and with the information I have, it seems like I will, but then I read threads liek this and make me thing that I am way behind others... :(

Call:
1-866-ASK-MINI
and follow the prompts. The "Vehicle Production Status" menu item is an automated robot voice. He'll give you some information, but nothing too detailed. Talk to a customer relations person, give them your production number, and see what information they have for you!
