Well, RYGOLD started the first "Can't Wait for ... Club" when he was waiting for My Sharona to be delivered last November ....

Here's how RYGOLD got started :

**************************
YEAH!! - I have been told by my dealer that my MCS will be built in October and delivered in November!
(Being in Canada, I don't have access to an Owner's Lounge - therefore I can't really track My Sharona's (LY/B) build progress).
However, I'd like to compare progress with those of you that are also waiting for a November delivery.

I'm forming the "Can't Wait For November Club" thread.
Whose with me?

Waiting for delivery of our passion SUCKS! It would be comforting, I'm sure, to all of us Novemberites if we knew how each other's MCs and MCSs were doing.

So - add to this thread anytime you have any information about October builds and/or November deliveries.
Let's see who's the first to say "I've taken delivery - I'm out of the Club"!!
**************************


I was told my order would be placed in Sept.
My '04 MCS would be built in October and delivered by the end of November!

So I'm asking ... Who's with me?

_______________

My MCS Chili Red/W/W "Mr Bridger"

Woo Hoo! Here's hoping I'm in this club. Put my deposit down in May and have been told since then I'm scheduled for an October build. If I'm lucky I'll make November!

My MC- CR/CR (after many changes!), chrome inserts, premium package, spoiler, front fogs, xenons, CVT, panther black leatherette, anthracite, Harmon Kardon, sport seats and the alarm.

Here's to us and GOOD LUCK!

You guys ROCK! Another "Can't Wait For November Club". The first of the "Next Generation" Clubs!

Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to this amazing MCO phenomenon!

And now for the famous "Page Views Challenge". Are you ready for it?
How about something easy, like 25,000 page views for the 2003 Can't Wait For November Club?

Enjoy the wait, it's worth it. But then you'll be zoomin' around in one of these!!

Oh, and it would be remiss of me not to remind you that out of 50 possible spaces, there is only 10 available forThe Greatest MINI Event Ever!!

(Thanks, Pebbles, for remembering!)

Add me to this club :smile: I'm scheduled for an october build with delivery sometime in november, and the wait is just killing me!

Yes, sometimes I think death would be preferable...ok, maybe not!

I have my collection of floor mats and a saddle bag and a sun screen and removeable bonnet stripes and a glove box organizer and a hot pocket and ... EVERYTHING BUT THE CAR!!

I'm spending money already!

I've bought so far ...

MINI T-Shirt
Mouse Pad
Magnets - gave one to each person on my team at work
1:18 scale Chili Red Cooper
Red Bucket Hat

For Madeline -
The Hot Pocket

Thanks for the list of production codes, it's great I actually already have some accessories myself and will probably have more long before I get my car. Right now I have the glove box organizer and viper stripes I'll be installing on the car. I'm also trying to plan out a design for my whalen shifter and and planning to order the madness intake before the car gets here. I'll be halfway through break in by the time I get it home from the dealer! I'll have spent far more than my first monthly payment in accessories by the time the car is here :razz:

You are correct! I will be buying things over these 3 months so I'm not faced with having to purchase them all in November. It is easier a little at a time.


Madeline is :

Chili Red - White Roof - Stripes
Stock 16" X-Lite wheels - White
Black Leatherette
Silver

PDC
Xenons
Fogs
Auto AC
MFSW
Full Aero Kit
Union Jack

As a veteran and one of the very last members of last year's November Club to take delivery, I feel your pain and joy! :razz: We'll be here to support you during the long wait through the fall. :razz:

Thank you all! I find myself checking in on this site (and a few other MINI sites) several times a day. From my reading I see this may be a "normal" condition for Motorers and Soon-to-be-as-soon-as-my-car-gets-here-after-a-long-long-wait Motorers!

Here's to the MINI spirit! (and more waiting!)

Oly - you are more than normal ! I can't use my company computer for personal things so I come straight home and get on my computer. I go to Bridger first to read any new news and then I come here to MCO!

Thanks Yucca! I'm excited about my MINI and I can 't imagine what life will be like when I get my production number and I can check on it each week!

I know my friends will just want to give me a pill!

Here's the latest news on the cost of the 2004s

Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey - August 1, 2003 ... MINI USA is pleased to announce pricing and specification changes for the 2004 model year. Even with strong and consistent demand for both MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S, both models will receive only a modest price increase of $24. This will make the MINI Cooper MSRP $16,999 and the MINI Cooper S MSRP $19,999, inclusive of $550 Destination and Handling.

Several options and package prices have also been adjusted for 2004. Sport and Premium packages are up only $50 from 2003 as is the optional leather interior and CVT transmission.

--- Thanks Gabe ! ! ! ! I get all my info from you! !

I have started a list of November Club members.

I'd like to put your name and the type of MINI you are getting and the color and something special about it.
Oly and Mini2004 - post what you have ordered so I can put it on the list!

Yes Gabe and his site are wonderful. When do you think production numbers for us will come out? I think September's went out early.

Here's mine

MC- CR/CR (after many changes!), chrome inserts, premium package, spoiler, front fogs, xenons, CVT, panther black leatherette, anthracite, Harmon Kardon, sport seats and the alarm.

Oly,
I think he said he'd call me in August with the production number. I guess I was pretty excited when I was there, because now I think back and I can't remember half of what he told me. and he discussed allot of things with me! Oh, well, I have time to figure it all out!

Your MINI sounds great! Red with same color roof! Really a hot looking car! You got some great insides too! I didn't do much on the inside, I put my money on the outside! Aren't these MINIs great? Getting to personalize the car is so special!

Here's our member list so far....

Do you guys have October build dates only?

Cooper4us,
We do not have production numbers yet. We are here because of what we've been told. I was told "If you order your MINI today, You'll have delivery by the end of November". Later he said something about an October build and November delivery. So 3 weeks after placing my order, I read about others being told about October builds so I started our November Club!

Ok here's my spec so far...I'm iffy on the cold weather package b/c I'm hoping to move up north for graduate school.

2004 MCS
IB/IB

Xenon Headlights
DSC
Front/rear fogs
Black Leatherette
Anthracite dash
MFSW
Silver viper stripes - arrived today! If anyone's looking for viper stripes give http://www.idlegear.co.uk a shot. They're fantastic and ship to the US, plus they're 1/2 the price of ordering from mini-madness for the same item.

Well that's about it for me
:grin:

Mini2004, I'll add your specs to the list! and it's another same color roof as body color! A CR/CR and a IB/IB ! ! !

This is great - of the 3 members so far...

1 white roof
2 same color roofs

ooooh! i CAN'T STAND IT! I went up to my MINI dealer today to play around with their MINI's (since I can't have mine yet...) and found out I HAVE A PRODUCTION NUMBER!! Estimated build is week 37 (or Sept 7-13) !! My MA hasn't called yet to finalize my order sheet but since I have a build date that can't be far off! TOO COOL!! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :grin:

Oly,
Does this mean you are leaving us to go to the October Club?? It sounds like an early delivery for you! - I am pea green with envy!!! Check with the dealer and if so, you'll have to join the October club !!!

I called my dealer today to add the Park Distance Control (PDC)... I think it will really give me confidence in going in reverse, which I am not good at!!

I don't think I'll see it before the end of October, I'm in Washington State and I think west coast deliveries take the longest. (Probably 8 weeks or so) Plus I don't want to get myself too excited by expecting it too early and then get let down. I was told October build and its in September so maybe if I plan on November I'll get it in October!

I thought about PDC but I don't back up often. I spent my "play" money on the H/K.
