Week 27 Support Group

Well I just called Ask MINI and the nice lady told me that they don't have an official scheduled day for me, but that it looks like they are going to do mine in week 27.


So let's get the week 27 folks talking.

Independence Day Mini!

Maybe I should change my roof graphic to the American flag instead of checkered?

You may be too late to make a change! I just got off the phone with ASK-MINI and they said I'd been "scheduled for production," and that any factory changes would bump me down the line.

So much for upgrading my seats!

OH! Hi, I've got a Clubman on order, bumped to week 27!

Siddown and buckle up, eh?

Oh I was kidding anyway. I'm checkered all the way!

I already got delayed several weeks because of a mistake in roof color on my order that I caught just after being issued a VIN.

Anybody else moving earlier?

This has me hoping I might move up as well. Made it all of 3 days before I called Ask Mini. CSR said I was still wk 27 but to call back next week as its possible production date might be moved up a week.

Fingers, toes, and everything else crossed!

Where was this thread when I posted one yesterday?

I'm still listed as "On Order", but Ask Mini says week 27.

I thought I'd check-in here. Just got confirmation from someone @ ASKMINI that I'm expected to be week 27. Let the counting of the minutes/hours/days/weeks begin!


...27 happens to be the date of my birth --month and year withheld to protect the guilty, hehe-- which has worked out pretty well for me so far, so I'll take that as a good sign...

Figured as I had a MCS optioned @ over $31K I might as well spring for a bit more and get the JCW variant and have the 'hotted-up' drivetrain covered under warranty and not feel compelled to 'mod' to get going a few more tics faster that stock right away... we'll see how that goes and how long I can hold-off for...

Ask MINI said I am Week 27 as well

Ordered my MC on Monday got the production number on Tuesday and finally broke down and called after getting limited information from my MA.

The guy at ASK-MINI was real nice (named John I think).

Can someone advise the potential dates that a Week 27 car will be built? Would it be sometime next week?

I am located in the NYC metro area (Northern burbs) Anyone else in Week 27 fromthe Northeast?

Thanks
ArtP

PS How do I make a cool signature block???? TY

Week 27 is the first week in July. We we have Independence Day MINI's (at least here in the US).

27 is also my the day of my birth as well. Pretty cool, I didn't think about it until you said something.

Hey Y'All--
My "Dash" is scheduled for wk. 26 as well (ordered 6/9, MCS, PW) so she may be keeping Rolo and some of the others as well...so do we now start a Week 26 Support Group? Just wondering!

You are not seeing things. I created the other one when I saw no such thread on the front page. Seeing how week 27 was a couple weeks away I assumed that I was the first to be scheduled for that week.

Turns out some clubman folks have been waiting for longer than I expected. I should have scrolled to page 2.

My order was placed on 6/9 and I was told today that we will be produced Week 26---YAY!---so I am hoping to see my new baby by the end of July. Or am I being unreasonable?
MCS PW "Dash"

End of July seems reasonable from what I've been hearing.

But then so why am I week 27 if mine was ordered just two days later... <ugh> Well, that's ok, hoping that continues to be a good number for me...

Dont feel so bad. My order was incorrectly entered with a black roof. It had entered scheduled for production. I called and made sure it was changed, and the result was it getting bumped by a couple weeks. I've been stuck on 'Order in' for a week.

Still hanging in 'on order' status. Ask Mini tells me I'm still on for week 27.

Did I hear it right that the factory goes on a holiday break or something for a couple weeks sometime in July?

I don't know what week I am. I ordered on Tuesday and was told I could get production in June but askmini says only that I have no confirmed date. I haven't been this antsy since the birth of my first born. (I was much easier going about the the second.)

Well they shouldn't have July 4 off - after all that's not their holiday in Britain!
