Not in Oxford England. Maybe your MINI is spoiled and wants to spend a bit more time in the spa. You know nothing is going to happen til September 11th and your baby will be making the cruiz with the rest of us. Sit back make up a margarita and enjoy what little remains of the holiday.

 

I know there isn't a holiday in England. I disgruntled because I can't talk to a live person in the US! I decided to go eat lunch and have a blended mocha at Panera. Then I am going to do my paperwork for my job. Then I will call again.

if it is like me, definitely spoiled!!

 

Hello 36ers.

I have been reading your thread and trying to learn from your brilliance....as I am a 37er...or so I thought maybe. You all seem like a HOOT and I hope you don't mind me asking a little question. We were told we'd be starting production next Monday (Sept 11) but according to OL and robot ASK MINI, we started TODAY!!!!!!! Does that move me up to 36? Or am I just a poor lost soul...

Thanks for your help my dears.

Production weeks are based on when production is completed - so you started today, you'll likely be done on the 11th, making you a W37er!

 

fascinating...thanks for the help MLWagner. Much appreciated.

 

We're all lost souls up in here. Grab a margarita and you can join us.

 

Hey Powerband! I love the Alligator.com radio stream. There sure are a lot of artists listed. Charlie Musselwhite! He played her in Petaluma at the Mystic Theater. Check out their site some time. http://www.mystictheatre.com/ It is amazing the caliber of talent that loves to play that venue. And I love Katie Webster! Did you ever listen to a jug band with Jim Kweskin and his then wife Maria Kweskin, who went on later on her own as Maria Muldaur? I still have the old vinyl (refuse to give up any vinyl!!!)

My car originally was supposed to be finished on the 8th, but now the "voice" says the 9th. Will it still make the boat on the 11th?

PS: I vote for southern California for the party. We'll probably not be able to schedule one until November (when we've all taken delivery and maybe even made a few mods) and it will be warmer further south -- maybe even Palm Springs or something. If we do it up my way I won't get much of a road trip in and the weather will be pretty dicey. Of course we can make our own heat with our rambling MINIs stopping to party along the way to who knows where... (you'll find excellent photo subjects wherever we go!) If I help you set up some of the shots and use a couple in a brochure or article, I can write the trip off too!

 

Kismys, it would have been cool to see the Led Zeppelin cover band, Zepparella, at the Mystic Theatre. Seems like a cool venue downtown for an ecclectic mix of artists! I haven't heard anything from the Kweskins (that I know of), but I definitely have a few vinyls of my own that I wouldn't want anyone's finger prints on.

SoCal for a BBQ is fine by me! We'll just point the bonnet south and slide on down for good eating, chatting, and motoring.

Sorry, thats the wifes job and the IRS knows it. You could lug the equipment bag around though.

 

Uhoh, slave labor.

So cal is good for a party....I like the idea of palm springs or maybe San Diego.

 

I really don't consider myself a slave and the wife isn't to bad a boss.
I just realized that Merlin was completed last Friday, does that make me a week 35er? Please say it aint so.

 

MY DOT MOVED MY DOT MOVED MY DOT MOVED!

 

JJ you were just a little early. Nothing wrong with being a little early. I think boneman and powerband completed last week as well.

nnoooooo, kissmys would be slave labor!

Ok, MLWagner... make my dot move!! My car is STILL in the body shop per the robot! Waaahhhh:impatient :impatient

Happy dance for you!!!! I don't have happy dancing smileys. I tried, couldn't get them. I think it has to do with being a MAC user.

 

Hey, did the phone robot update your status??

 

*calling...*

 

Better than me. The robot still just says I'm "in production" with the same estimated finish date. I was hoping it'd tell me I'm in the body shop by now. Climbergirl must be holding me up.

 

Nope, it still says it's in assembly.

 

So, today is the official completion date for W36, no? More and more I believe this date is only a guideline, planned to get us freaked out. eek:lol::im patient

 

you are the best, thanks for calling and checking!

handn, foo's car along with mine has said in the bodyshop since friday. I was hoping that the computers didn't update due to the holiday in the states. MLWagner79 just gave me hope. The live rep told me on friday that my car should be finished today. The recorder says estimated completion date is tomorrow. I hope my car isn't holding you up!! And I hope that something isn't wrong with it. I would hate to fail quality control. Then again, I would hate for something to pass that shouldn't!:impatient

 

Great detective work there, cg. Weird that it doesn't automatically update.

Tomorow morning should have the interesting news.

 

As long as they get done this week, we'll all have some pre-cruise margarita time at the docks together before we sail! And I'm willing to bet we will!

 

powerband is completed already, correct?

 

Maybe we need a list of "who's left" for this week and when you're supposed to be done (at last notification, anyway)?

 

ok. so let do a run of completion dates: I am supposed to be done person 9/4 or robot 9/5

 

As of pre-holiday Friday- Person says 9/6, Robot says 9/7.
