To all of you have ordered their Coopers, you are my heroes. Even more the ones who had to endure the 2 week factory shutdown. This seems like it is taking forever.
I ordered mine on 9/16 and completed production on 10/6. I'm currently waiting on a ship assignment since 10/10 and the wait seems like it taking for-ev-er. It's looking like any ship that might be carrying it to Georgia will show up around the 4th or 5th of November and still needs to be trucked to Dallas.
/sigh
Thank you all for keeping the anticipation under control as you continue with your own updates and posting your pictures. I've seen some great looking cars here.

With any luck the wait is about over.
I cannot tell you how much easier this journey has been made by sharing the journey with others waiting here on this thread.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope it isn't a train heading my way.

Amazingly she slept clear through her first night home but I didn't.

I found out why my MINI is still at the VDC after being unloaded on Oct. 3.
My MA called them today. My Mini's bumper was scratched so they ordered a whole new bumper for it. Apparently the bumpers are easy take off and add ons. They didn't want to just "fix it", but completely get a new one. It's supposed to load onto the truck this Friday. Of course, it would happen to mine.
I am enjoying all the pictures and stories of everyone's new MINI's though. I'm jealous. I had appointments made this week for tint, clear bra, and stripes. I rescheduled them for next week with the understanding that they may need to be changed yet again.

But 11 weeks?!! I guess I'll just have to expect for the same rather than the the usual 6-8 weeks..
Who in here have received their MINI in less than 6 weeks?
My MA put in my order on 10/4 and so far the OL says it's still "on order". Maybe I should call the 800# in hope of getting a more updated status All I have is the JCW exterior package and MINI Connected package so I hope it won't take that long since they wouldn't have to install anything at the VDC...

Congrats you're almost there!

A watched pot never boils. Actually it does but while you're standing there looking and waiting, it starts to feel like it never will.
Your car will be built and delivered on the same schedule whether you check on it 10,000 times or none at all. Good luck!

Yours is the first I've heard of that received a real explanation for a VDC delay. Sorry to hear, but at least MINI is fixing it properly rather than just touching up / buffing out the paint. I don't expect you'll get a price discount from your dealer for a VDC delay of maybe 2 weeks (it's not your dealer or MA's fault), but hopefully you'll be driving it in a few more days.
So what seems like an eternal wait continues. I remember the old days of getting to track the Michigan Highway when she was in range...fond memories.

9/8 Ordered
9/19 Released to carrier (Oxford)
10/2 Arrived in NY
10/11 Delivered
It felt like it was taking forever at the time, but in retrospect we were incredibly lucky. Just over 4 weeks really. We probably would've gotten it on 10/5 if we hadn't ordered the Sport Stripes which had to be installed at the VDC.
All in all, well worth the wait.

We really lucked out. We managed to get our order into our dealer's allotment they day before they locked in the production (or pretty close to it).

The Aida is due back on AIS any second now in Canadian waters. Any... second... now... I think the AIS website is getting tired of me checking. There's also a sailboat named Aida in Monaco that has been throwing me off.
I asked my MA about getting a grill badge mount, hopefully they have 'em. I now have my decorations all ordered and will schedule the tinting for mid November.
Nope, not too excited at all. Not me.
