If I read that schedule correctly, the likelihood of getting on the Tristan is low as it leaves port on the 10th. Therefore arrival in the US is around 12/7 on the Falstaf. Yes?

Yes, you are right about Tristan. But this schedule is for CA, shipping in NY is much faster.

Sign me up... have been waiting for > 2.5 months and was told I'm in week 45. But the online status is still "On Order".

What's your current status online? Is it "On Order" or "Scheduled for Production"?

How are you coping with urges to call Ask Mini every day?

Mine is still "on order" too. The only thing changed is all my factory ordered options listed are now gone - the box is empty now.

Online still says "on order" but lists my options now. No VIN though...... Then I get a email from my MA: "It went into production yesterday !!" Go figure?!

So I asked "ask Mini" today about why the options box is blank and was told they were in the midst of a server upgrade! HAHAHA I just laughed because from what I can tell from NAM and other sites this has never worked right. Granted they build tens of thousands of cars a year you think they could get their systems working right!

I'm also week 45 and called my MA who made a change to my order but confirmed that I was still week 45 and that I had been scheduled for production - yet no update online or with Ask Mini - Weird!

Must be some lag in communication, ya think? LOL

Hi everybody, I am also a member of the Week 45 group as my 4th MINI, a Hot Chocolate JCW Clubman, is getting ready to enter production . The OL currently shows it as "On Order". I just changed a couple of options a few days ago and confirmed everything with my MA yesterday - good to go.
