No problem!
Now, if you could get my MA to call me and say my MCS is ready to be picked up, that'd be great !!

I'm completely confused now because an ASK MINI rep and the Owner's Lounge said the vehicle is on a ship, the automated message on ASK MINI says it's waiting for a ship in England, the WW tracking says it's discharged in Charleston, and my MA whom I called was even more confused.

Is anyone else having these problems?

Congrats to you! I tried to work with MA's at Momentum and MINI of the Woodlands, but they were kind of jerks to me. I hope you had someone better!

Are you also in Houston? I ordered from Momentum. My MA also ordered a new mini around the same time, and our cars came on the same ship, so that might have something to do with it.

I'm in production week 51, also ordered from Momentum, and my MINI should be ready on Wednesday. I'll wave if we pass on the road!

My first choice was to order from Momentum, but they weren't very accommodating, so I went with MINI of San Antonio.

I picked mine up Tuesday night. It's been in the garage even since though because I had to go out of town this week. I'm really looking forward to getting home on Sunday now!

Do you know why you have to wait until the 15th?

I don't know what's going on with the Texas cars.

Greetings from "R53 Production Week 51 Support Group".

Is there a Houston/Woodlands yellow Cooper owner in your group?

I'm the red Cooper S (apparently 10 days older than yours, based on the dates of our paper license plates) that parked next to you at the restaurant during lunch today.

Consider this a wave.
