R60 Timeline

Timeline
Hey everybody! I think it'd be a good idea to put our timelines in one easy to find place, so people (like me!!!) don't have to look through signatures to find out approximate dates for production/shipping to compare to. I realize that everybody's timeline is going to be different, but this is a good gauge for those who are still waiting. I just know when I was in the build and shipping process (I'm only at the VDC now) how long things took, and how anxious I was. I called ASKMINI everyday hoping to hear something different, and feed my tracking addiction. Hopefully this will help those who have just ordered or are waiting in different stages of the process.
Also everyone should read the "How to track your mini" https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d-updated.html) thread in 1st gear to get acquainted on how to track it through all of these stages.
So let's get posting!

It took me a week to get a production number. Since then, it has said "On Order" on the website for a week and a half now. I emailed my MA on Friday, 04/13/2012 to see if he could find out what was going on. He wrote me back later in the day to tell me that it was in "Daily Packing Production" on 04/10/2012. I've done a search and created a post on here, and no one seems to know what "Daily Packing Production" is. He said that he would email me today, because they get an updated schedule every Monday. This has been torture!
