The people there range from "absolutely excellent" to "making it up and need to find another job" (just like most companies). What's frustrated me is that the majority of the information I've gotten there has been very minaccurate. (See Post #7476.)

Minaccurate (adjective): The result of compiling information from multiple sources believed to be authoritative. Usage: The Order Tracking system at the OL says today that my car is still at the port in Baltimore, awaiting transport, which is totally minaccurate. Also: minaccurately (adverb). Usage: The automated voice at 800-ASK-MINI minaccurately reported today that my car is in Southampton, awaiting the trip to Baltimore. Also: minaccuracy (noun). Usage: In three successive phone calls, I received three totally different stories about the delivery date to the dealer, which makes me doubt the minaccuracy of the system.
all we can do is laugh about it.. I don't know how I missed this post.. but I like it!

This happened to me and it turned out my car got on a KLine boat and was almost in the US when I found out which boat (from my MA). Super frustrating to search WW and get no results!

Congrats to all that just recently took delivery of their new MINIs. It has been two weeks now since my Roadster came home and I'm loving every minute of it. I do not miss my Volkswagen CC at all.

I know what you mean. I am hoping mine made the KLine ship "California Highway" that left Southampton today (14th). Before ordering my MCS I never would have guessed I would be this interested in the ships sailing from an overseas port.

Sounds like State Farm handled your claim only "ok". Sorry to hear that. As a State Farm claim adjuster, that disappoints me.
Although there were some delays, very likely due to being swamped with work like the Total Loss reps in my office, I hope every rep you spoke to did a good job explaining everything to you and spoke to you as a valued policyholder.
Attorneys.... I'll keep my view on them to myself.
Thanks very much for having State Farm as your insurer.

The total loss folks were helpful, I know they are busy, but wish I would have for call from them after they asked me to fax things right away instead of waiting 4-5 days when I initiate a call.
Any new deliveries?
I saw the cup holder change on the 2014 CMs, 2 in the rear plus padded arm rest, I asked MA for rail cup holder since I don't have armrest.
Saw some nice MINI up in Ohio and WV today.

You've waited this long. What's another day or so. It looks fantastic.

Mine was in that spot just a couple of days ago. Maybe we'll be on the same truck to Denver! My MA said mine might be in by the 24th.

What are they? Shouldn't you have known all the pricing before pulling the trigger? I had a copy of the invoice in hand before I said go. Don't forget tax license and title, that's prob $3k.

I'm talking about three items. I had estimated them to be about $3200 and that's pretty much where I'm at. I overestimated one item, underestimated another. So it's all good. If I was not okay with it, my emoticons would have looked more like this:
Two of the three items: The clear bra and the custom graphics. Third item I am keeping under wraps for now.
If I wasn't happy with the prices, I could always go aftermarket.

Yep, already figured in taxes and title work.
