Hello, finally got a production number!

Hi everyone,
I have been monitoring this site for a while now and picked up a lot of good info. You all seem like a fun bunch. I have a CR/W Cooper manual with cold weather and chrono pak on order with an estimated build date in May. I was dissappointed to miss out on getting LY as I have a bright yellow Renault R5 and am a big fan of the color. I am not sure about the chrono pak option and will be posting some questions about it on the main site. I suppose I will be second guessing everything until I finally get the car. I live in south central Oregon near Klamath Falls.

Welcome gbony!

When in May? I am Week 18 per my MA, and I am also in the Northwest! Seattle. How long ago did you place your order?

Mmm.. I just ordered a Mini (Not "S") and my MA said LY was available. Ordered this past monday 4/3/2006. I think it's not available on the "S" as per mini-usa website.

LY was recently discontinued on the regular Cooper as well. I think it's too late to order it.

Dom,
Do you know when your cars production is scheduled? I have read elsewhere that LY is available only through 30 April production. Unfortunately, my production will be in May according to my MA at Rasmussen Mini in Portland, OR.

We got a "product number" (70803**) the day we ordered and put down our deposit (4/3/2006). MA stated that production should start 4/16/2006.
I get the feeling that this dealer had an allotment already set up with Mini manufacture. Could be wrong. I think we made it in a nick of time.

Yes, MA stated that LY will only be available till April 30th.

I am glad they said it was available because the wife would be really be mad (her car). We are still holding are breath in case of getting a call from the MA and stating LY is not available. The wife says that if they do call we would cancel the order and order a 2007 Mellow Yellow.
