Production Week 37 (09-12-05) Support Group
I noticed there was no Production Week 37 thread, which is currently in production -- so I decided to start one myself...
I'm located in the bay area and ordered my 06 MCS just about 5 weeks ago from south bay mini in socal - was scheduled for Nov production originally but I got super lucky and production was pushed to week 37, to be completed on Sept 18! Really can't wait!!
We made it to the 2nd week of '06 production.... who else has a week 37 MINI?

We've been posting over in the week 38 thread. 37 is so much better though, prime number and all.
I also have a Sb/S MCS, I ordered a few days before you so mine better come off that line first. :smile: I'll be picking mine up from Motorwerks in Edina, MN, it will be interesting to see who gets theirs first. I understand the delay at the VPC can be quite long.

My dealer says I am in the Paint Shop on 9/14 and scheduled for completion in about a week. I too am hoping this means that the status just hasn't been updated yet.
But I just sent and email to MINI asking for my official production week, so I don't go schizo with these forums.
What's "ask mini"? Is it a phone number? I've tried 800 and 888 area code.

My MCS to be born tomorrow!
Although they did not answer the whats-my-official-production-week question, the folks at MINI wrote:
So I must be in the right support group.
[size=1]Grab a cake and get out the candles because your MINI's birthday is going to be tomorrow! :-) It looks like your car is just in the assembly finish stage right now and going through some final quality checks before being a full grown MINI tomorrow. [/size]

Hello! I believe I'm in the week 37 club. According to OL, mine is "En Route". I know there is a way for me to find the actual ship that it is on, but I don't know what it is. Does anyone know? Also, am I the only one who the 2wglobal.com doesn't acknowledge to my VIN number input? Is it because I'm in the West Coast = different shipping company??
My dealer told me I could expect the car by the end of October. Is he wrong? Some of you said November.... ???

Hey guys - I'm on the Maersk Teal too - my BRG MCSC. It's actually my second MINI -the first is a 2003 BRG/BRG MSC, loaded, with all the performance toys. I really hate to sell it, but I'll have to, before the new one gets here.
This is the most fun car I have ever owned - especially working on it and adding all the performance mods. I've taken off a few parts (Alta intake, Unichip, nology wires) to put on the cabrio, but I'll leave the exhaust and pulley - it's too much work to remove!

Hey, thanks jdmarino,
But I can't get pass the above site to find my vessel. The Auto Tracking doesn't recognize my VIN :( Maybe I will have to call ask-mini? It might be different too, coming to the West Coast. Any Week 37 West Coasters in here?
