Oh no what happened!? Was your MA misinformed about the boat? Are they certain!? Boo that sucks. I just heard from my MA that I made the Toronto, and it should be there a few days later, but I feel your pain I was starting to mentally make the contingency plan if I would have to wait another week.
Now I need to figure out if I can move a big work presentation up or back a day! I'm going to be in NY that weekend but I don't want to park it there! I want it in a protective new car bubble!
At the rate that my Mini is moving across the pond, I am thinking of naming it Barnacle since it's stuck to the dang dock! I was leaning towards MiCoCo (my first Mini was named Mico) or Micodeux, but Barnacle is growing on me. My other name was Bloaty (a bloated Mini). Just going to sit here and twiddle my thumbs.

And now the waiting begins...
it's the "fun" part of the process LOL
honestly-it may be sooner...fingers crossed for you....

It depends on the dealership you deal with. At the first dealership I tried, they were going to get me in "that weekend" but they were a smaller dealership. This was towards the end of the month and so it would be the beginning of the month. I ordered from a bigger dealership at the end of November and my car didn't go into production until January. Essentially, I think it is just important for you to have a really good communication going with your MA. Maybe sweet talk an SA since they are the ones who actually put the orders in? I'm not sure. But this is just my experience of what I went through if it helps.

Awesome! so glad it worked out! And I love Barnacle also!!!!
Rfath, thanks so much for the update!!!
That was the original post. I don't know how it got mixed up. Rupert is officially on a K-Line boat sailing the ocean blue! It even says so in the OL!! The page on my MiniPerson's screen shows the ship landing in Brunswick on the 15th! Yay! I may still get him at 8 weeks!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Barnacle!! That is Awesome!!!

MiniMouse I have to get a cover for my boot too. So far all I've seen won't be durable enough! I really want to get started on attempting to make one! I guess I just have to wait just like everything else!!! Ahhh
#1163
Let me know if you end up making your own.
#1164
Boy when Rupert comes I'm going to have a lot to do! Haha!

The MINI ones are really cool, but for the price they're asking!! Redonkulous!
I may try to see if the dealer in Dallas has any when we pick up MiniMe. See if we can get a discount on one or something. I don't know. It may just be high hopes though.
Our MA is an Aggie and my husband went to A&M so we're thinking about bringing the guy some A&M memorabilia.

Those badges are really cute! I think I'll have to get one for my new mini's grill. I just checked and my mini is finally showing up at mini usa as "on order". I wonder how long it will take to move from there to "scheduled for production". This is going to be the longest 8 weeks of my life!

This is probably the badge I'll get to begin with. And possibly
http://www.gobadges.com/CARBON-FIBER...ro-antenna.htm and
http://www.gobadges.com/MINI-KEY-FOB...y_fob_blue.htm
Then I'll stop there for a bit. Until I can find a good boot cover.
