Placed my order

2006 MCSCa, CR, #'s 1,2,and 3
Some other little foofroo like the red dash and an aux port etc.

I am pretty sure it is not going to hit me until I pick it up that I have bought one of these machines. Wow.

Thanks for the many many posts that I used as reference. I know my choices are a tad pedestrian (or as pedestrian as a new MINI can be), but I want all the people here to know that the choices I made for my car were made based on all of the information here and at MINI2. Thanks to all of the great posts I can say that while it has not hit me that I will really have a MINI before Christmas, I know the MINI that is coming is the exact one I want.

:smile:

Did they give you a production number yet? If so calll 1 866 ASK MINI and find out what production week you are. Join the appropriate support gruop. There is tons of info on tracking etc.

I did get a production number, but my MMA advised me to not do anything with it for 5 days or so. What I think he did was overwrite an order that they had already placed that could still be overwritten with my options. When I look on the MINI owners lounge for instance, it says I am getting an orange MINI.

This really was the best time of year for me to order it. A lot of big changes at work and the whole holiday season to distract me. Yeah right.

So maybe that's what happened that moved our order along. I gave a deposit on 9-30 for an incoming Royal Grey, a week later decided to order a PW and wait. It moved to scheduled for production by 10-14 and I have a completion for 11-1, about 3 weeks after the MA submitted the order.

I am guessing it may be here before Thanksgiving, or about 6 or 7 weeks from when the order went in. He did look at a sheet and pick a 'empty' slot when he did the order and had a production number that day that he printed out. ( I noted before I left one mistake and it was changed ).

Then for about a week I was listed as an Astro Black not PW, then it changed. My lucky day...
