First off, I want to thank all of you at North American Motoring.com, with access to all the incredible information the members provide, We were able to decide just what we wanted and what we should pass on. So this afternoon we drove to Ferman Mini / Mini of Tampa Bay, FL and placed our order with our Motoring Advisor Bob Annis, We had visited Ferman Mini twice in the last six weeks and both times Bob has taken the time to answer all our questions and shown us the options we were concerned about. This was a wonderful no pressure experience that we are very very happy with...Thank You Bob---

I was visiting Tampa last summer and my check engine light came on.
I went to Ferman MINI early on a Friday morning and they took my car right in...replaced O2 sensor and I was back on the road in less than 2 hours.
They were great for me for service.
Congratulations on the new MINI,
Dave

Hello Everyone,
The MINIUSA owners lounge updated my order to Scheduled for Production, So I called 1-866-ASK-MINI and went thru the phone prompts to find out my production status. Vehicle is scheduled for completion on Jan 13th. I'm overjoyed since I only ordered on Jan 2nd Wow that is much faster than I imagined. Life is Good, Life is Real Good.....

Congratulations! Now that you have a production number you need to go hit the 'how to track your mini' thread. It's is Not about racing. It's about how to figure out where it actually is and have more info about it's status than the MINI USA or your dealer. My MA hates it when we call him up and say "I see our car is arriving tomorrow. When you gonna have it ready?"
(OH - and don't forget to check and see if your dealer ordered the right car... [there's a sneaky way of verifying what options are on your production number])
