Goodbye week 44... Hello week 46
I just got screwed!
I called ASK-MINI today to check my status and thought "Maybe I'll confirm the spec... just to make sure that everything is OK." It's a good thing I did!
My MA mis-ordered my roof color!!!
I was going PW/PW (with painted arches, once I get the car) for a very Euro look and they selected a black roof! The only thing worse than this would have been not checking and finding out in December that they had to re-order the car and that I had another 2 months to wait!
I strongly recommend that you all call ASK-MINI and confirm your colors and options with a real person.

Production Date Nov. 3rd!!!!!!!!!!
Hello all! I am new to this message board, although I have been lurking around for a while. I live in Dallas and ordered my MINI the day that another dealership haggled me to death and I got up and left. The MINI dealership was right down the street, so I went over there "just for kicks". My MINI was ordered less than a week later.
Here are my specs...
MINI Cooper Convertible
Cool Blue Metalic
Auto CVT Transmission
Chrome exterior
Anthracyte interior
Standard 15" Alloy wheels
I forget what else off the top of my head. I went by the dealership yesterday and my advisor said my delivery date was December 3rd. Sooner than I expected, but still seems like such a looooooooooooong time to wait. I sold my "other" car last week so I'm having to bum rides from friends/co-workers and ride public transportation. God I can't wait for my MINI to come in.
Anyway, just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. Maybe I'll see some of you driving around Dallas in your new babies soon!
Ciao!
PJ

ASK MINI says, "Just coming out of the paint shop now." YEAH BABY...
They also said they only have answers at their ASK MINI phone line up until it reachs it's departure port, and the MA has all the answers after that. My MA is off all next week so I shouldn't get any other info until maybe after it's on the ship. Southhampton to Charleston, S.C. is how many days, TEN or so?

Does anyone know if all these ships, Courage, Undine and Patriot all ship MINIS? I will be hoping for a berth on one for our 11-1 completed MINI. That might get her here in "mousetown" before the end of the month.

I have to say farewell to week 44. I've been moved to 42!
I'm sorry to say this, but I called ask mini today and they told me my car started production on 10.20, which they indicated to me was week 42. It was a nice little surprise! There didn't seem to be much of a week 42 club on NAM, so I'll ask you week 44 people when you think I might reasonably expect my car to show up at my dealer? I would guess it takes a week to build one of these, right?

Ask mini has been pretty clueless in the last week or so. The keep telling me to call back in a few days as they will have more info then. If my car was started on 10.20, then its probably either finished, or close to finished. I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to track these things once a VIN# is created.
You know what would be reallly cool, is if mini could go the route that VW takes with their phaeton - you can see digital stills of your car through various stages of build. That doesn't seem that difficult to implement either.

In body shop!
Hello all! I called on my MINI yesterday and they said it was in the body shop! I can't believe that she's really being built as we speak.
It still feels like a dream. I guess I won't believe I really have one until I drive her home. Although I have temporarily named her Ellen, I'm not sure it will stick. I'm looking for name ideas. Perhaps I need to wait and let her name herself. Wow, I'm sounding weird here. LOL
Well, since I will be getting my CONVERTIBLE in December here in Texas, that kind of bums me out because its such perfect weather for one right NOW! Anyone close to Dallas still drive with the top down in the winter?
