well, I think I am a week 31'er and 32'er too. But that's okay, I am just a happy camper to have my baby in production! My MCS went into production last night, and is scheduled to be born 8/5.

Hey mine too! I think we'll be rolling off the line at the same time.

Where's your final destination? Mine's heading to the NYC port so it'll be a short journey for me...

Mine is going to South Carolina, then after a JCW Aero install trucked across country to Dallas Texas. Jokell I think you will be driving and smiling long before I get to see my new one. Well at least I'm driving a GP until the JCW arrives. Cheers

Yeah but you'll be moving so much faster than mine once you get yours that you'll catch up quickly.

Gmann, mine is going to South Carolina as well (and then to Baton Rouge, LA).

Perhaps our MINI's will be shipmates

Any idea when we'll be able to track the cargo on the WW site?

New York. I'm hoping on the Integrity, but I think it'll probably be on the Elektra.

I've posted over on the week 32 board, but now realize I'm sort of between weeks. Just ordered last Friday and went into production right away.
Ask Mini gave me a birthdate of 8/2 and I can't wait.

Reldiah ..... I'm in BR also.... maybe we'll have fraternal twins!

Well I have scheduled Margaritas on the Fantail, so salt your glass. Post as soon as you get a ship assignment. Sure hope we don't sit for 2 weeks.

WooHoo!!!

I'll be calling my MA Thursday to see if there are any worthy updates.

If nothing by Thursday, I'll be calling on Saturday.

Then Monday, then Wednesday... you get the idea!

Hopefully our dealers had already allocated a shipment for mid- to late-August, then we won't have to sit there for too long.

Hopefully.

Theoretically.

Yep... Brian Harris is the only LA dealership (and I don't think there's one in Mississippi or Ark either!
Rafael did up the initial sales deal, just because he was standing by the door when we walked in! Did the final on Monday with Hedrick (actually my husband had to go down since I had an appt)... it will be only 8 days from walking into showroom to completion if all goes well!

Clubman S... Laser Blue/Silver

Congrats! It looks like we will be shipped together after all!

ASK MINI automated now says,

"Your vehicle was released to the carrier and it awaiting transportation to the port of exit."

WooHoo!!!

The MCS is at the port waiting for a ship! I'm guessing K-Line ship Sierra Nevada. It leaves August 1st and gets in Charleston on the 13th!

Not yet.

I called my MA (I know, I said I would wait til tomorrow, but I couldn't help myself) and he said the only thing showing was that production was complete yesterday. :(
