Just called ask mini (poor guys!!) and they said my production was started yesterday and should finish on the 21st!!

Has anyone else had their car come in on a Vessel other than WW? Seems like a lot of west coast mini's come on a different line.. I hope mine comes on a WW so I can track it!!

We ordered on 9-1 and I was told by ROBOT on Ask-Mini went into production
on 9-12 scheduled to complete on 9-14.

Others I have talked at Ask-MIni all say it is being built, but the completion dates goes from 9-14 thru 9-20, depending on who I speak with.

I was told that once it is built it should be 20 days from leaving factory to my driveway.

Dealer told us when we ordered figure 8 weeks, but they have been getting them in about 6 weeks.

We are ready to roll

We are feeling like parents too! We have a name picked out and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our Mini. We even have the "nursery" ready. We only have street parking where we live, so we found a garage nearby to rent.

specs:

Cooper S
British Racing Green
White roof/mirrors
White bonnet stripes
Cold Weather
H/K
Premium
Sports
Convenience
Chrome interior
Aux
