We have been told so much stuff during the tracking process that I have actually gotten to the point I will believe it when I actually see it on the lot!!

Mr T..........You have got to be close by now but I can't find where you have received your Roadster, how about an update.

I think that's Standard Operating Procedure for the MINI Nation, but what would we do if we didn't have things like this to worry about???

Ha Ha How very true.. Even if some of the info isn't correct or at the current status its still fun to check out and see whats going on with ones MIINI... I don't know of any other car brands out there where you can track your progress like this.. So im still enjoying this MINI trip!!

Also congrats. The weather should be warming there, so some top down motoring is a must.

Any idea how long should I expect to be "Awaiting Transport"?

My Clubman was finished being built about 10 days ago and seems to be in limbo in Southampton - waiting to get on a boat.

My VIN shows "no results found" when trying to track on the WW site. :(

Congratulations. The long wait will all be worth it once you start to drive it.

Obligatory post-delivery photos. Today was my first good weather day for a real drive with the sunroof open and windows down. I'm no pro, but you can't take a bad picture down by the ocean.

Sigh… just called the Ask mini number and it was odd. Said my VIN was wrong but were ok with the production number. With that, said production would be done June 6. I am on the Left Coast so figure 5 weeks out for delivery after that.

That would hit the 8 weeks mark from date of order.

Maybe longer. There are things both the dealer has to do (rally stripes) and the Oxnard facility has to do (rally lights)

Someone pass me the popcorn. I am in for a long wait…

Nice pix – I'm jealous. The closest thing we have to an ocean around here is flooded streets.

There doesn't seem to be any rule, except that it generally takes longer than you want it to!

My car left Southampton today, 27 days after it was completed. (It seems to have spent most of that time in Oxford.) I kept pushing the WW site with my VIN and wildcard VINs the whole time, but my car didn't show up on a WW page until the day it was scheduled to load onto a boat. (And then it got booted from that boat, but made the next one 4 days later.)

It looks like a beautiful day for motoring, kavatski. Thanks for the pics. Enjoy.

Passed a transport tractor trailer on westbound I-70 in MD during my commute. Was hauling BMWs and MINIs. Spotted a Pepper White hardtop "S" with a black roof and a Countryman in a darkish brown color that I will guess was Brilliant Copper. If anyone here is expecting delivery soon and one of those matches your order... may have been yours.
