Lighting Blue Baby

This is the first car I ever ordered, so it's like waiting for a new born baby. I'm glad I don't have to wait for 9 months I can't wait that long. My Clubman is scheduled to be built about the week of May 4th, which they said is PRODUCTION WEEK 19 so it might be a June delivery I hope. So how does a new father act while waiting.

Welcome to NAM and the world of MINI! The wait seems like an eternity, but once it gets here it is SO worth it. Be sure to read up on "How to track your MINI" because it answers so many questions (although I don't think it says anything about how a new expectant father acts).

Congratulations on your order! I almost picked Lightning Blue a time or two myself - I changed my mind a lot. I just got my baby Monday night - I waited about 6 weeks. This is the forum where expectant parents hang out - the 'Support group' threads especially!

Is that TREKKIE as in Star Trek?

Hey there MINI TREKKIE, welcome aboard!
Funny how your situation is eerily similar to my own.
  1. Lighting Blue Clubman
  2. 1st car I ever ordered
  3. Mine is also being built the week of May 4th
  4. I recently started a PRODUCTION WEEK 19 support thread > https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=134529
A bit of personal Trek trivia: my Dad & uncles went to grade school with Leonard Nimoy in Boston years & years ago. . .

Congratulations. Sometime close to delivery you may find yourself obsessed with sea conditions in the Atlantic as you track your baby making its way across the sea.

Yahoo! Another Texas MINI!
