I ordered mine on 11/29, but the wait was because the factory was closed in December. I don't think there is much of a wait right now, maybe a couple weeks...

I was talking to Ralph Schomp Mini in Denver and they were telling me 3 - 6 months. What's up with that?

My car is in production but not scheduled for completion until January 26th. Does that make me a week 4 or 5 er?

I had to reorder my car as the first one was built incorrectly. So I am on my second round of waiting.

Regards,

Pat

It is! especially since my wife has hers and all I can do is wash and wax Dotty (Her cars name.) and go from driveway to garage. It's killing me.

So what do you think am I week 4 or 5 with the completion date of January 26?

Pat

Week 4 because that is when building began....if there is a week 5 group they may let you in also because of the continued building into that week. But as far as I'm concerned you are officially a week 4 member.

P.S. I read your signature and like your set up

OK consider me in!

My wife's ride is really nice. The color is great and seeing it in person is much better than on the web.

I just wish she would let me drive it once in awhile.

Wish I could track my car's journey through the factory, but Canadians can't.

I'll just have to wait for it to show up on a ship (hopefully WW, so then I can track something).

Why not? I would think that you could get the info from 1-866-ask-mini.

New update - I checked this morning and I am booked on the Pacific Breeze leaving Southampton on 1/24, and arriving at Port Hueneme on 2/18! Sounds like we'll be picking up our Clubman by the end of February!
