[edit] ps my cm just endeared the actual production process Monday so once that happens it goes quickly! When the automated prompt changes from "scheduled for production with no confirmed production date" to "your car is in the body shop with an estimated date of completion of xx/xx/xxx" it is a great day!!!mi called back to make sure it was right!
Glad you lucked out. It is a forever wait for sure. I thought 8 weeks would speed by - but its been crawling I must admit. Hopefully your car will be on a boat soon!

Agrirlnamedroo,thanks.
I was agonizing between Oxford Green and Royal Gray.
As a matter of fact i ordered it OG,changed 1 week before production to RG.I would have been happy either way.

Jimbo - what dealership do you in the Binghamton area? My dad lives there but said there was no MINI dealer nearby.

We actually use Keeler MINI in Latham, NY near the Albany Airport, the Buffalo dealer is a little farther. Picked Latham because I had relatives there when I bought my first MINI in 2002.

I had a trip from Watkins Glen interrupted with my last MINI. Keeler was awesome to deal with.

Even the Florida Highway got delayed. Now ETA in Brunswick is 3/10. My dealership's sales manager estimated the 18th for arrival at dealership but that was before the delay. I can't wait to be in my MINI! It's so close it's driving me crazy!!!
