R50/53 The "Can't wait for December Club"
As we watch the November Club members get close to delivery, it merely heightens the antipacitation for those of us in the November build/December delivery crowd.
My MCS should get built this week, and I've seen several other posters with the same production date. Anyone want to compare progress over the coming weeks, and see who gets to drop out of the club first?
(props to rygold for the excellent month-club idea)

I hope and I pray that I become a member of the December club
. I'm still on order but have been for two weeks now so I gotta think I will be scheduled for production sometime soon. Wishful Thinking???? I guess I will have to wait and see

I'm in... I currently am on order with estimated production of 11/22, althought that seems to be very subject to change. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for delivery before Christmas!

I wouldn't worry dbwilldo, we will probably end up on the same boat anyway... giving us similar arival dates at the port... of course, I am East coast and you are West coast, so I have no idea how much longer it takes to get across country. Can't be that long though.
Cheer up!!! I have faith you will be a December Club member as well!!!
Cheers!

I've read that the trip east to west can take from 3 to 6 weeks. they don't load 'em on a truck and ship 'em across this great land of ours, but leave them on a boat and take 'em down and around. No worries, I'm still hopefull for a pre-XMAS delivery!
Great Luck to you Decemberites!
The stats on the November Club are amazing - thousands of readers, and over 100 posts. It's been a great support group watching the build dates translate to boat dates, to arrival dates. Being in Canada (as you know!!) we have no Owners' Lounge of our own, so we're really dependant upon the Club members to post up-to-date data.
Of course, as you know, the real fun is quitting the damn club!!!
See you guys on the road. Watch the November Club postings for deliveries and drop-outs. Within a month that Club will be (happily) history!!

>>I recommend to everyone to call the mini number... they seem to have the latest and greatest information in front of them and were very polite.
I took cgehring's advice and called askMINI for the first time today. After waiting for only a couple of minutes, a really friendly guy picked up and told me that my MCS was at "150". I asked him what that meant, and evidently "150" is the code for the begining of the production process. My baby will be born soon!

Good thread! I was getting jealous of the november delivery people. Nigel is scheduled for 11/15 week, but I'll have to call and check that...
At lease we have a nice new toy for the christmas season...

Me too!!!! I call the dealer all the time to see if my car was built yet. Ordered on August 1st and was supposed to get car in January but dealer sent in my order in Oct . She claims they dont build it until late Nov. I am hoping to get the car by end of December. I am in the December Club for sure

I'm in the club, too. Same as VAmini......estimated production date of 11/22. I also am getting a CVT Cooper. Do they make the CVTs at the same time??? I'm in NJ, so from port to distribution ctr to dealer should be pretty quick. Fingers crossed and hoping for delivery before the new year.
HARMINI: 2003 Silk Green/Black CVT, Premium & Cold, chrome, cloth sports seats, fog lights, dealer installed alarm, and more chrome bits and clear lights to be added when she gets here.

WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Just got off the phone with AskMini and am told that I have FINALLY reached that elusive "status 112" -- scheduled for production! They have confirmed a production date of 11/22. HARMINI, I don't know if they do all CVT's at once (forgot to ask that ? in my excitement). Anyway, I feel that I can now start counting the days until my MINI and I are united. (And I can now put my old Saturn up for sale-- anyone interested? Didn't think so!)

YAY!! Status 112 as reported by the friendly ASK-MINI customer rep. with a production date of 11/22. That means final production is completed by 11/22. I asked if they made all the CVTs at once. He said no, the production is based on when your order was submitted by the dealer. Each dealer has a maximum number of MINIs they can order per month, thus the waiting list in some cases. I asked about an estimated delivery date. He said it's usually 3-4 months from the time the dealer submits the order until delivery, depending on which coast you live on.
It's a 20 day journey on the ship, so I might be looking at the "can't wait for January club"

I'm having a little production party this friday because my MCS is scheduled for production this Friday, the 8th. You can't, well maybe you can, believe how excited I am. I'll try to take photos and post them! Hopefully before the Merlot sinks in! I was hoping we'd get a December club! Please let me know when there is another Chicago cruise!
Ahhhhh! i'm late! my car was born on November 1st! i feel like such a bad parent! think a skid plate would make up for it? how about a headder or exhaust? maybe an intake? i need a name! man, this parenting thing is tougher than i thought! :smile:
Wooooo HooooooO!!!! Just checked the owners lounge and my Winnie is born and awaiting transport!!!!!
Ahhhhh now the long nights will be getting longer as I dream and worry about her journey.
