I'm Member #0001 WOO HOO

UPDATE: Here's my MINI

 

Not until you post pics and complete a track day and/or autocross you're not! Those are your rules after all.

 

As founding member I am not bound by the bylaws of this club

 

Sounds sketchy...

 

Is everyone that ordered still on "on order" status in the lounge or have people moved on to "scheduled for production"?

 

I'm scheduled for production for next week.

 

Are you kidding?

 

No, why?

 

My car started production June 2nd

 

You lucky bugger.

 

Makes up for the extra long boat ride

 

You're on the left coast?

 

New Mexico, but the car still comes through the west coast port

 

Ouch, yeah I'll probably still end up getting mine before you get yours.

 

How long were you on On Order status before you get your Production Schedule Date?


I didn't think they were starting to build them until sometime in July.

 

i hate you guys.

 

I got the first allocation from Mini of Mountain View but he hasn't gone into production yet. Eagerly checking daily...

 

LOL. . .me too

 

Aren't the first Works models being built all pre-spec'd?

 

My MA said the first batch of cars would be here the week of 14 July, but he also said I could spec my car for that week. Mine's been 'on order' for just over 2 weeks now.

 

That is totally the dealers choice.

Also call 866-ASK-MINI for more up-to-date info then the owners lounge.

 

Thanks ALEXM!!!

I called and got my production week...not next week but the week following (mid June). What is the delivery in weeks for us, 4-6 weeks?

The website is very slow to upate.

 

You guys are in for a life-changing experience!!

 

Scheduled to be completed tomorrow. REALLY looking forward to enjoying driving again!

 

Figured someone need to start one on here. While we are all awaiting delivery post specs of your cars that are on route. Post Pics as they roll in.
