Production Week 40!
#126
:smile: I have my Vin # as of this morning. So if everything goes according to plan I should have a new car the 1st or 2nd week of November. It will all depend how long it disappears into the black hole that is the New Jersey processing center.
This is just as exciting as waiting for my first MCS.

Just called ASK and talked to a person (Tony, thanks again DiD) he was still firm on the 10/3 date however he was a little concerned that the status had not changed yet (still in production) and the 3rd is this 5 days away:impatient . He did say, for the Indy people, that Charleston SC was the port of entry. He also said it takes a couple of days to get on the boat, 2 weeks across the pond and a couple of days to clear customs in port. Then the short trip to Indy. So maybe we are looking at the first week in Nov

BTW, I don't know about the rest of you but my best updates have come from dealing with Tony (I think, I'm so bad with names ) at ext. 6292 (the extension is right for sure though).

Hmmm...if it doesn't enter the body shop until early next week (Monday being 10/3), I don't see how it can be complete by 10/4.
The nice girl I spoke with at Mini surprised me by telling me that our car is supposed to be "Hot pink."

Hi all!
I'm also in week 40 - just ordered my car last Friday 9/23! Production began on Tuesday and it's scheduled to be completed by 10/6 per ASK MINI. OL finally updated today to indicate scheduled for production as well as posting of the VIN.
It took me over a year to finally get off the fence and order one, but now that I've finally ordered it, the anticipation is killing me. I live on Long Island, so at least my MINI won't have far to travel once it clears the port in NY/NJ.

Welcome to week 40
Welcome,
Bilbo-Baggins,dchez,Steeroids and daflake. I hope you find this thread as informative and entertaining as I have. Checked ASK this morning still saying 10/3 as complete date but Lydia is still in production. :impatient My wife and I have a bet on which boat she will be on, she has the Patriot leaving 10/13 arriving Charleston 10/25 snd 11/5 to the dealer. I say Jingu Maru 10/15-10/28 and 11/12.

I'm back! After having my JCW equipped order delayed twice, I decided Wednesday to drop it and my dealer changed me to an earlier slot. I just got off the phone with ASKMINI and my car is now scheduled for October 2-10 production, amazing how quick things can move when the dealer is on the ball! I have already come to terms with the missing JCW, I will save almost $6000 ($6300-500 for LSD, and less in sales tax). I can always have it dealer installed later, or aftermarket mods, or maybe perfectly happy with it in stock form, who knows. Glad to be back on the "hope to have it by Thanksgiving" crew.

Finally!
I was starting to get frustrated reading about many others receiving VINs and getting bumped up for production (some of whom placed their order over two weeks after I did), and the Lounge just gave me a VIN today and said that I am scheduled for production. All I can say right now is yee haw!

My VIN still doesn't show up on Wallenius Wihelmsen's website. Did a little digging back on the week 36 thread, looks like us west-coasters may be on an entirely different line. For example, starting with post #153:
