OH MY GOD !
I just got my PRODUCTION NUMBER

*How do I know what "week" this would be?
So I can "join" the proper support thread. . .

 

Bernard - You can check either with (866) ASK-MINI or at the MINI Owner's Lounge on the MINI website, though the data on the website seems to lag behind what you'll hear from someone on the phone. Of course, you can also just ask your Motoring Adviser who should be able to give you your production week, as well. Congratulations!

 

Your car looks SOOOOO good. I love the dark metallic grey.

 

Bernard 1962, did you ever figure out what your Production Week is?

 

Hi buffaloregan: no I did not...not yet.
I might give (866) ASK-MINI a call sometime on Monday.
Not sure if they'll know this soon though. . .

 

Picked ours up today. Drove around all day doing errands and driving some back roads.

 

Congrats! I saw the pics in your gallery... nice car!

 

Very nice!

 

Picked her up last wednesday and finally got out of the drivers seat to take a few pictures. I am a first time MINI owner and first time new car buyer and I absolutely love this car! Can't wait till I get the engine broken in.

ENJOY!

 

Wow! It looks amazing! I'm getting the same colors so it's good to see what it'll look like realistically. What kind of interior did you get? I just got the checkered cloth interior.

Sooo jealous right now! I just got my VIN number though!

 

Thats awesome! I think you will really like the LB/B combo when you see it in person, it really has a "pop" to it. I had never seen this particular combo in person when I ordered it, just pics online, but I am very happy with it. I just went with the standard black checkered cloth interior with the silver trim on doors and dash. Seats are very comfy and it goes well with black roof and stripes. Hope you get yours soon!

 

That's the interior I got too! I had also not seen it in person, I had my MA check all dealers on the west coast for that color combo and none had it! I guess we just have unique taste or something .
I really hope I get mine soon too. Uggh...supposudly it's been moved up a production week...Ask Mini said it's waiting for the assembly line and to give it 5-7 days for that...so that puts me a week ahead of schedule!

 

Picked Roland up last night! I have a happy kid and two MINIs in the driveway!

 

Hi Bernard,
It helped me alot when I found out my production week, before that it was an abyss.

Hi Regan,
Just spoke to 866-ASK-MINI, and was told the week of May 4th is when it's scheduled for production, that is week 19.
So the dealer's estimate was right on target: June for delivery

Congrats to you & your son! Likewise, we picked mine up last night, and now we have two MINIs in the garage - there's a couple pics of them in my gallery, hope we get some better weather for pictures soon.

 

Sweet!

Two of them! I can only dream!

 

I found out that I am scheduled for week 19, so I created a support thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=134529

Thanks for all the support from you lucky "9 weekers"

HAPPY MOTORING !

 

I'm probably one of the last week 9'ers to get my car, but I picked it up this evening. It was ready on Monday, but today was my first chance to drive 70 miles to the dealer to pick it up. It's great to be back in a small agile car.

 

Congrats fbirch.... give us some pictures!

 

I finally picked mine up on Friday night!! Having a blast and don't regret a thing!
What a fun car the MCS is!! It's my new best friend!!
There are more pics in my gallery.
What a wait. Thank heavens for this support group - it fed my obsession nicely till TUDOR II got here!

 

Hi Bernard,
Soon enough week 19 will be here! I'm a week 14er. My MINI finished production on March 31 and now it's sitting on the FEDORA in Southampton waiting to leave port tomorrow! I've never been a namer of cars, except my first car, but I'm starting to think of girl names and boy names. Is your MINI going to have a name?
Bye,
Regan

 

Hey buffaloregan,
I have never named my cars before.
Also never had a cool car like this before...

*Vehicle history
1) Yellow 1980 Toyota Corolla 5-speed (new)
2) Red 1983 Mustang GT 5-speed (new) < was very cool & flew 5.0 liter
3) Blue 1988 Chevy Blazer full-size (new)
4) Green 1994 Plymouth Voyager (used)
5) Green 2002 Pontiac Montana (used)

The last 2 vehicles were minivans

Once I have my hands on the MINI for a while, I'll see if a name 'comes to me'

 

Thanks, Tim. Pictures have been added. The backdrop is terrible, but I'll take some more in a better setting when I get the chance to install the aftermarket wheels I recently got.

 

Beautiful color combo. Very sharp.
