Six Day PW/WClubmanS

I ordered my MINI on the 16th of this month, Production started on the 18th@8:04A.M and it was completed today the 24th on schedule.The ASKMINI reps were very helpful and courteous and I am STOKED....I didn't add more than roof rails and English Oak interior..It's like waiting for a new surfboard when I was a child..

Wow - that was quick! I'd have more hair left if my production started two days after my order...

Actually, I would compare the wait more to a root canal.

Congrats on your upcoming addition!

That is awesome Charva, I am sure you are excited. I understand the voyage to west coast is about 21 days.I feel lucky seeing how long others have had to wait.

Nice. I'm in Kenmore. My wife and I were wondering how many mini owners were in this area. I mainly see the same 3 or 4 in ken-ton. I figured most folks that buy them are in Williamsville or Lancaster. Is there a local club?
