Burnie was "born" on March 20th and I picked him up April 30th in San Antonio Texas.

We got waitlisted and bumped on our first boat which cost us about a week.

When is your MINI due?

I waited just under 3 months for my IB/W MC. Ordered in November, delivered 1/30 in Dallas. I had a blast waiting, learning all about MINIs. I also went nuts...but that's not gotten any better. IMO, the wait just makes the drive all the sweeter. Its kinda sorry, but I've really bonded with this car!!!!!

Produced week of June 6, delivered July 23rd so about 7 weeks. The extra time was to ship it from the NY area to AZ otherwise, it would have been slightly less than one month.

Born on The Forth of July
Delivered on the twenty forth of July

One day less than 3 weeks for delivery....

Ordered on May 20th so 2 months total.

Not bad for a custom made car IMO.

Exactly 23 days. She got shipped like the day she got to the port. But the also ordered me two cars and the one that got to me first was the second one they produced. The other one was produced in June and didn't make it over here till like mid-August.

My MCS was built on 7/18, arrived at port on 7/22, scheduled to catch the Tokyo Highway on Aug 3 for an 8 day cruise getting into NYC on Aug 11. So if I wind up catching the boat and not getting bumped, it will be a minimim 24 days before getting to VPC and expect 2-7 days there.

I had a friend put an order in for a Cooper in early June and she took delivery on July 21st. Her entire process took less than 7 weeks.

Ordered July 4th weekend (2002), built 1st week in August, delivered 2nd week in October. Of course, Alice did caught up in the whole "dockworkers aren't paid enough at $80,000 a year " strike thing, so he took a side trip to Mexico and changed ships there.

Walked in , made offer, walked away, told them to call us... dealer called 3 hours later to tell us they took the offer, Signed papers, drove home


Now, tell me again, why did everyone wait so long?
