it sure is. it's pretty easy for them to do, and it makes you feel a little less like "a number." in other news, my mcs -- tentatively named "motley" -- has finished production, and is awaiting shipment. i wonder how long until we'll know what boats we're on? has anyone else finished yet? anyone destined for the new york vpc?

 

Mine is in the body shop.....will be Friday before completion.

 

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just called and mine is finished!! :D
It will soon be awaiting shipment! I hope it gets on the boat as fast as it was made because there is one leaving the 12th!! but i may have to wait for the one that leaves to 20th
Mine will be heading for the charelston south carolina VDC....does anyone know the average time it is at the VDC?

 

If yours was finished today or yesterday - getting to Southampton and loaded by late Thu or before they depart on Friday is cutting it very close.. Mine is suppose to be done on Thu/Fri and my next ride is leaving on Monday - I am not buying a cigars as yet

 

How many times a day is too many times to call?
Do you all have names picked out or are you waiting to "meet" your MINI before you decide on a name?

 

haha yeah ive called about 2 times a day or less (i had to hold myself back from more )
Actually i was thinking of a name awhile back and I ended up getting mine through my screename....so i am going with "Check"...some may not consider it a real name and that its a copy from "Coop" of "Hammer and Coop"...but i really just spontaneously came up with after i had done my display name of checkercoop (mainly because my mini will be black and white with a checkered theme)

 

"Check" is a cool name. I am thinking Odie for mine. Just called again....still in the body shop.

 

I think "in the body shop" is a stock answer often????????????

 

Oh you are almost done after the body shop is paint shop and that only leaves the rest of the day to finish :D after body i had called and they said it just entered the paint shop in the morning and today (10:30 am) done with production!!! Yours will be in the final stretch within hours
Goodluck

 

Tuesday, 7:00 p.m. Just called. My Mini is done...now awaiting shipment. I won't be in Florida till 5/11/07. This is really exciting! Now what do I think of...mods!??? Careful now, don't get ahead! bigger, wider, offset, style? Yeah I can feel it!!

 

I ordered the following MCS. My mini left port yesterday (10/9/07) on the Aida.

Pepper White/Black with Premium, Sport, Convenience, Audio and Cold Weather packages
Manual Transmission
Limited Slip Differential
Sport Suspension
Navigation
Checked Carbon Black Cloth Seats
Piano Black Interior Surfaces
Rear Fog Lamps
Sport Stripes (in Black)

Upon receipt:

- Windows will be tinted to 30% (legal limit in PA) all around

 

oh, sure ma... pour salt in the wound. mine's on the dock, but won't ship until friday!

 

I am in week 41 too. I ordered on 09/26/07 and the production is supposed to be finished today!

 

I do not know why my Mini was done so quickly. My son ordered his 2 days before me and his has not been completed yet. Go figure.

 

As of yesterday afternoon when I called, mine should be completed either Friday or Saturday. I am limiting myself to 2 phones calls per day.

 

yay! the ww cargo tracking site says i'm at the dock now, due to be loaded onto the liberty. it sails tomorrow!

 

I am jealous!!!

 

That is so funny! My son and I ordered Minis 2 days apart. We have been calling Mini and each other to see whose is getting done faster. Everybody thinks we are nuts, but it has been great fun kidding each other about it. My car was born on 10/8 and sailed on the Aida 10/9. Jason is gnashing his teeth as his was born 10/9 and will sail 10/12 on the Liberty. LOL

 

All in good fun, right?

 

OMG I think im going to cry for joy!!!!!!!!
My mini finished production 10/9/07 and is now going to ship on the Liberty EB741-LIB the 12th!!!!!! it will be in the states the 27th!!

 

Congrats!!!

 

Very nice! Your baby sounds very similar to mine. Maybe they are twins?! LOL

 

haha maybe....they may have gotten painted together and took their first steps together lol

 

We are all talking about "cars" right??????????? lol

Mini marketing has created a Brilliant Marketing Idea here.

 

Wow, so you are saying your MINI shipped one day after finishing production? That's great. Mine finished production on the 10th and I sure hope it will ship on the Liberty on the 12th!
