Soon to be Roadster Owner

New member making my first post to NAM while awaiting the arrival of Tigger (an R59 to celebrate my 59th birthday) - 2015 Spice Orange Roadster S w/ Black Sports Stripes, Cold Weather Package, City Package, JCW Interior Package (Championship Red Leather), and Black Driving Lights.

Ordered Wednesday, July 30, 2014 w/ production number assigned (MA estimated 6-8 weeks for delivery).

Scheduled for production (no estimated completion date) Friday, August 1, 2014.

In production (estimated completion 8/11/14) w/ VIN assigned Saturday, August 2, 2014.

In production (estimated completion revised to 8/12/14) Wednesday, August 6, 2014.

Anxiously checking Owners' Lounge and/or Ask Mini daily and holding the hope that Tigger might make it aboard Columbia Highway (departing Southampton on August 15).

I love this part.

No, seriously.

When I built and ordered my MCS in February 2012, it really was a lot of fun to check on its status daily, then watch the ship progress towards the USA. I even spent a good part of an afternoon tracking it up Chesapeake Bay to the preparation facility.

Truly an obsession. I even saved the Owner's Lounge "I'm thinking" music as a ringtone...

Very nice - that's almost a twin of mine.
Roadster, 2015, Spice Orange with Black Bonnet Stripes, Cold Weather, City and Harman Kardan sound system.

I'm in a good mood because I just watched mine get loaded on a ship, and the ship left Southampton about 20 mins ago.

Got my production number on July 9th, and I'm not going to lie, but the last two weeks when it finished production and sat at the factory and then at the dock without moving were very painful weeks. I originally thought there was a strong chance it would hop on a boat July 26th.

I'll cross my fingers that yours finds a berth more quickly than mine does.
