Where did the support groups go

There haven't been any new weekly support groups since week 48. Is that kinda odd? That is about 7 weeks of no new support groups.

Man I guess. There were only 2 or 3 people in week 48 but to just have nothing for almost two months!

According to Birdman, it is entirely because of the NAV system that he doesn't care for.

I wish I new, I've been waiting 5 weeks and I'm still "On Order". I wonder if they had an extended holiday break again. Starting to get impatient...

She said it has been ordered but not scheduled for production yet. She guessed that it hasn't been built yet because it's a Mayfair, and there haven't been many Mayfair orders. I'm not sure how that makes sense.

I feel for you man! Ordered a Camden and it has only been ordered 2 1/2 weeks and we are going nuts. Still showing On Order. When we call we get the "Vehicle has been scheduled for production with no start date yet" message. I check so many times in a day that I think they will probably block my number from calling soon!

Lol dogdal, same here. I get the same message. My question is how can it be "Scheduled" for Production if there's no date? Don't you have to have to have a date for something to be scheduled? Semantics I guess.

Yeah, last night my wife did talk to a person at the MINI hotline and they said that they could see that it's scheduled to be finished the 1st week of Feb. but they didn't have a start date listed yet. The person said that the factory probably has it scheduled but we can't see it yet. Maybe they are virtually building it first! But if the finish date info is right it probably won't start till the last week of Feb. for our MINI. Maybe they wait to do a line of Mayfairs at the same time and the same for the Camdens.

I've talked to the Ask Mini reps a couple times and they never have any more information than it's "Scheduled for Production". I certainly hope mines going to start production before February.

I'm starting to worry about financing too. I saw they replaced the 2.9% with 4.9%, but it only lasts till February 1st. Hopefully they'll start something else again in Feb.
