Ok just got an official notification of my build week. It is a long way from the original Week 39 but at least I am certain now.
Ok all 49rs Join up!

lol I guess I am all alone! (1st 2009 model with the Sport Package)

 

Anyone know if it is worth it to have the LSD with the DTC? The DTC is now part of the Sports Package and maybe it is overkill?

 

bump, anyone yet?

 

OK, so I am going to join both weeks....

Just got off the phone with my MA and he is going to push for priority on my order and hopefully get me a week 49.

 

SWEET! I told you they could probably do it!

 

I won't believe it till I see conformation

 

I am scheduled for week 49 too, let the waiting begin.

 

Welcome EMY-RDL! The wait can almost be painfull after a while...
I have been waiting for mine since July..

 

Welcome What is your order?

Had a chance to buy a used 3 month old MCS CR/B; but I couldn't give up my jeep for it. Been infatuated with them ever since.... Only recently have I taken the plunge

 

I have ordered a MCS 6spd, Lighting Blue, White Mirrors/Roof/Wheels/Bonnet Stripes, Union Jack Roof, Driving Lamps, and Xenon Lights, MFSW. I work for a BMW/MINI Dealership and even though I know I am scheduled for week 49, I still check my progress everyday on the BMW computer system. I also know that my car is scheduled to be entering the US though the NYC port, no date yet though, I guess they actually need to start building the car before they give an arrival date.

 

Week 49 order JCW here.

 

Welcome Oxy, looks like you will be one of the last with the Lightning blue

 

I like you taste in past, present, stablemates, and ordered cars. By chance is your 914 yellow and housed in the DC area. I saw one on the outer loop a few months ago.

 

Nope it's red(pics in gallery)and down in NC.

 

Checked at work today and it looks as though they have bumped me up to week 48. Hopefully should be getting a VIN soon.

 

Congratulations...... I'm jealous

 

Got confirmation today I am week 49 as well, which is good as the MINI factory holiday closure was just bumped up to 4 weeks starting 7 Dec.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...m-deepens.html is one article; there are others if you do a search on the Google news page. Let's hope that holds up as not having my Lightnng Blue/Silver Clubman under my tree will lead to a different kind of blue Christmas

 

Welcome all! Lets hope they get all of our cars on a boat before the holidays!

 

Mini to close oxford and sollihull plants for 1 month at christmas

 

so no delivery until january then, or even past january?

 

Let's hope that since the topic has been "production" that it will give them a chance to clear out the ordered cars on hand.
I think they take pride in getting the cars out fast after they are produced also.

 

Well, I just called ASK MINI and the guy told me our '09 Cooper is scheduled for Week 49.

Hopefully it can squeek in between the beginning of December (DTC) and December 7th.

Maybe the first "regular" Cooper with DTC?
