My Coupe won't even be built until late October.

 

Sorry! It really reeks. But you saved money on the deal so it's probably worth it right? I know I would take the savings v earlier delivery.

 

I hope you are right. My experience has been just the opposite. All 3 of my past Mini's all came on WW line. Not one another way.

I'm hoping your absolutely correct cause it will increase my pleasure level and decrease my stress level.

If it is as I suspect I will be going with anticipation.

 

Just wondering what mods are you looking at getting? And what will fit the coupe?

It's great to hear that a bunch of you guys are in production! I think I am waiting until October for my build. I am still waiting to find out my build week.

 

Waiting for a boat!!!

 

Wooooo hoooooo. Mine too. Being transported to port of exit!!
I sure hope a boat comes soon. I would hate to be waiting at the port for a couple of weeks. That would NOT be good. This according to AskMini. Website is not updated to En Route yet.

In the paint shop today, so on schedule to head to the port by the end of the weekend.

@PatM and Zyamfier,
What were your timeframes from Body shop to paint to assembly to final QA?

 

I'm in the paint shop today as well. Should complete production tomorrow and then off to the port...

 

I'm not really sure. I know that my car went into production on the 6th. Yesterday I checked ask mini and it said it was in the paint shop. Today I called and ask mini said it was waiting for transport to the shipping dock.

It's typically only 8 days from start of production to completion. If you have a firm production start date almost always it's just 8 days to completion.

My MA didn't give much info and ask Mini is horrible for timing etc.

 

Woo hoo, in paint shop with a completion date of tomorrow the 16th according to 866-ASK-MINI!

 

No mods for me other than non run flats and wheels. I intend to keep the car as stock as possible. I didn't mod any of my others cars either.

 

That seems right then. My coupe went into production 9/8 @ 9:45 which means it should be completed on 9/16. Don't know if they transport to the dock on the weekend but it should be there by Monday or Tuesday. I thought I saw a link that there was an NYK-Line ship heading to PH on 9/23 so maybe our West Coast coupes will be on that boat. fingers crossed.

 

9/23 sail date would be very nice.

 

The first time I checked ASK-MINI was Monday

1. Monday "In Paint Shop"
2. Tuesday "Body Shop"
3. Wednesday "Assembly"
4. Thursday Morning "Complete"

 

You went in some crazy order :P

I was Body Shop yesterday... today I am in Paint Shop.

I am expected to be done tomorrow on 9/16.

I'm hoping my MINI can get on a boat leaving 9/19 and arriving on 10/3 in Georgia. It will be close.. but I'm fairly sure they deliver cars on weekends so I should make it.

 

Tell you the truth I may have got that mixed around a bit. Or maybe they just beat my Coupe down a bit more in the body shop to make it lower and faster.
Ether way, There are two ships leaving for Baltimore on the 17th. Lets hope the train can get it down there before they leave.

 

Production complete. Awaiting carrier. That was fast!

 

Production Complete as well!

Excited

 

Vehicle being transported to port!!!

 

Production completed here as well. Going through final QA and then off to the port. Looks like we are going to be obsessed about boats and hurricanes in the up coming weeks.

So who has a final destination on the West Coast and who is going to the East Coast?

 

Is it in the spreadsheet? If not it can be added? ?That might be good to know.

 

Hmm... I'm still scheduled for production to complete today.

@PatM,

It is in the spreadsheet as your port of destination. I updated mine to show Port Hueneme, CA. You just need to scroll the spreadsheet to the right in order to see the (many) other fields.

 

Added a row for Dealer City as Port location gives us an idea of East or West of the Rockies but does not tell us where your final delivery will take place.
SPREAD SHEET

 

Updated. Man I wish I knew what/when this car will be on a ship. I'm ready!!

 

Production started 9/7....completed 9/15....released to carrier and on the way to Southampton 9/16....docks in New York....delivery in Philadelphia.
