I Gotta Vin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I just ordered 7/7. Its in production! ie. being built! Per ASKMINI, it should be done by 7/18. I gotta go get some Depends cause I feel like my pup when I get home from work. Did I say Work(s)? CR/B MCS/JCW WORKS. You gotta know me. Its been a bad year. I lost my Dad and Step Mom in Hurricane Katrina. My best friend just passed away 7/8. I needed this. Sorry for the flow but Jason at ASKMINI just made my day!!!!!!!!!!

edit: Who needs counselors when you "Got (new) MINI"

I am envious. We ordered on 7/6 and no VIN yet. : (

Anyway, we are looking forward to joining you in VIN status. Maybe our car will catch up to yours and we'll catch the same boat.

Did not call ASKMINI. Can I call with nothing more than my name and the dealership I am working with? I thought I couldn't do anything until my SA gave me a VIN?

You need at least a production number with ASK MINI. Your MA gives you this. Your production number lets your register in the Mini owner's lounge ( http://ol.miniusa.com ). From the OL, you can see your VIN once it gets assigned.

Ge4t that production #. Its like a phone # and you'll know it by heart instantly. Schreyerplace hit it on the head. I ordered 7/7 and I'm already in production. This is fun and distracting. If you're not already, you'll feel like a kid again.

Thanks all. I shouldn't have laid my woes out but I was just giddy after my call to askmini.

Haha, and I thought I was being over-excited because my status changed from 'on order' to 'scheduled for production, but no production date yet'

ASK-MINI is a much nicer way to keep up-to-date.
