Week 19 Support Group

I just found out from 866-ASK-MINI that my Clubman is scheduled to be built the week of May 4th, which they said is PRODUCTION WEEK 19

Per Megan @ 866-ASK-MINI: If all goes as planned it'll be built that week, then shipped, delivered to dealer, dealer prep, etc. and I should be 'motoring' at the beginning of June!

*Just what the dealer estimated. . .



If anyone has photos of a Lightning Blue w/ Silver roof & bonnet stripes, please post them here.
I see lots of the "S" version with this color scheme, but not many non-turbo charged Clubman. . . Thanks!

* maybe it's too early to start a week 19 support thread?

I'll update it when required, hopefully any other "19 weekers" can find it, when/if they need to. . .

I'm scheduled week 19 too and I don't think it's too early.
I went with the Clubman S, how about you?

Hi ahfs1,

I opted for the non-S version: (figured since it'll be my main commuter car, mileage is more of a priority than hot-roddin' around)

*and since this has the Aisin 6-speed automatic w/ paddles & the SPORT button, I can still live life in the fast lane once in a while

What options & color scheme did you order?

I just finished with my signature, so I'll give it a try here and see if it works for answering what I went with!

Excellent choices ahfs1 !

I like the blue w/ black combo too, but picked silver for mine after much inner-debating.
Most of our options are similar. . .

Well Bernard_1962, I think it makes it rough with the time waiting to doubt choices, then realize it's possible to still change options up until we go into production.
Like if I would have gone with a different color, would my production week be next week? Of course, it really doesn't matter since I have my heart set on the Lightning Blue!

I "borrowed it" from another user here on the NAM forums. . .

It's easy: save a copy of it to your harddrive (right-click on it, select Save Picture As...) - then within the signature-maker tool, add it to your sig.

Hello fellow '19-weekers'

Got an e-mail from my MA yesterday stating that my prod# is slated to be built on May 5th / 7th

Then he said it'll be at his place 3 weeks afterwards...

if it's May 28th it'll be an AMAZING birthday present


* If anyone has photos of a Lightning Blue w/ Silver roof & bonnet stripes, please post them here.
I see lots of great pictures of the "S" version with this color scheme, but not many non-turbo charged Clubman. . . Thanks!

When I placed my order, my MA said I would be scheduled for the first week of May, and should expect to have it in my hands the first week of June. I would think there's a chance for May 28th for you, but if not the first week of June isn't so bad!

I just ordered mine today. My MA told me that my production number is scheduled for week 19 and I should be able to take delivery the first week of June. Is it common for some Tom Petty song to run on an endless loop in your head now?

19er

Hi all, just chiming in. I've got a MCSa (AB) which will be joining the week 19'ers which was ordered over the weekend. I'm trying not to think about it, but it's killing me. This is going to be a LONG couple of months.

I keep driving my dad crazy since I placed my order. It happened to be on his 60th birthday, so I keep reminding him how long it's been since I placed the order, and how long he's been 60. (This Saturday will be week 3)
I think Bernard_1962 is the only one so far on week 19 that ordered before me.

Hoping for a May 28th delivery (my b-day)
*if not, then June 3rd (my dad's b-day) & a more realistic delivery date
- plus he's coming to live w/ us in 3 weeks, so lots of changes happening @ our house - but GOOD THINGS
He's been down in Florida for about 14 years

Good morning Bernard_1962,
I have to laugh because I'm sure your father is going to really miss Florida once winter comes back around in MA! I'm sure it will be nice to have him close by though.
