R56 Production Week 41 Support Group!
Mine was completed today 10/11 and headed for the docks - kinda hard to see how it could ship one day after completion being the docks are aways away from Oxford ??? but hey, good for you Kallum....
I am still very impressed with EB Mini - I placed my order on Wed 10/3 and on 10/11 the Mini is finished - Now comes the slow part - ship leaving on Monday the 12th for the West Coast - all depends on how many Mini's are waiting, Won't be surprised at all if it misses that Ship..

My son's Mini will be cruising across the Atlantic with yours on the Liberty.
We are all going to be having so much fun in November!!

Like she says, I ordered two days before her, and mine's still waiting for a boat -- I'm beginnin' to think she slipped our MA a fifty when i wasn't looking! 
In all seriousness, though... I think her mini just "hit it right" with their system, and managed to catch all the green lights on it's way out the door. It's pretty impressive these days that you can order a semi-custom car, from another country, across an ocean -- and get it into your hot little hands in a little under a month!
I imagine some day, you'll be able to walk into the dealership, and they'll be able to build the car right there while you eat lunch.
I just did some online research and it seems like Southampton is only 70 miles away from Oxford. So with some good luck and available room on a shipping vessel, a new MINI being shipped 1 or 2 days after finishing production seems possible.
I do agree, Luck has to play in all this and we are all sitting here calling and doing searchs to see if it has move "even an inch and we want to party" I am also trying to buy a Toyota Highlander and the difference is like night and Day - ask about a special order and got a "blank stare" told them about Mini and I really don't think they believed me - oh well. I still say that "body shop" story is used way to often ????? just my guess. I see cars like above get right on the boat, then I read post where cars sit and miss one or two boats???? who knows.... 6 months from now, it wont make any difference, we will just be enjoying the ride.... I tell ya, who ever came up with this idea here is one smart "cookie" here we all are getting hyped over a car that is not even here yet... and how many of you have friends that just wish you would stop talking about your new child/car - they just don't get it - do they??? lol
How many week 41 folks here are West Coast ??? We have the
SOUTHAMPTON 15/10/2007 PORT HUENEME, CA05/11/2007 TORTUGAS ED741-TOR
SOUTHAMPTON 22/10/2007 PORT HUENEME, CA12/11/2007 ISOLDE ED742-ISO
as soon as someone gets a booking number for the Tortugas - let us know... in that booking number you can see ALL the Vin Numbers for Mini's being loaded - Maybe Tharkun / Dennis will chime in here and do his magic and let us know when it has docked and ready to load - this guy is a genius on finding this stuff

Hmmm....how do some week 41 builds get shipped before my week 40 going to the east coast? Mine does not show up at all on the WW site. My MINI was completed on 10/4 and is still awaiting transport.
Think I will head to Vegas - Luck is working today........

Those of you that missed the Liberty on 10/12, have you been able to find out whether your car is on the K-Line ship named Frisia? Frisia also left Southampton on 10/12 and is headed towards the east coast. It should be in Charleston on 10/25. My 10/10 production did not make it to Liberty but perhaps it has been loaded onto Frisia. Some cars that arrived at the port on 10/11 have been loaded onto Liberty so I am trying to find out if any 10/10 productions including mine have made it to Frisia. I emailed my MA twice about shipping information but have not heard anything yet. My guess is they have no clue!
Also, does anyone know whether 1-866-ASK-MINI would have any shipping information? I called them yesterday but the customer service was closed for the weekend.
