The last 7 digits of your VIN #. Under cargo tracking, go to auto & put your # in.:smile:

Lois

 

Thats great for you, Ozbone. But its strange how my number is 7493 and yours is 7499... and i have no such info

Edit:

O M G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just called because, well im paying enough money. and Claire went into production this morning at 5 (FIVE)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps, my coworkers think im NUTS.

Patrick

 

Patrick (Applecello),
Maybe someone at Mini was listening! Glad to hear that you're FINALLY seeing progress.....

 

I called in this morning-Sunnie is still just in production It's been a week & still no "clothes" or "makeup" I think the 10 day theory to build a MINI is correct.
This birthing process is starting to kill me-it took less time to deliver my son

Lois

 

yes, Lois, but did your son weigh in at 2600 lbs?!

 

Great news AppleCello . Its about time!

Now I feel like I am being left behind. Everyone is getting into production, and I am still stuck at "Scheduled for production with no firm date" even though my production number is 7482XXX. Maybe all those last minute changes delayed things . It can't be too long now I suppose. I guess this is a good lesson in patience, BUT THE WAIT IS KILLING ME !!

I checked yesterday. Maybe I need to call again. Does calling repeatedly speed thigns up?

Dale

 

did you talk to a real live rep?? the automated system doesnt reflect my true status of "In Production." (it feels so good to say that!)

 

Yes I talked to a real person. They said my status has not changed for nearly 2 weeks. Did you jump directly from "no firm date" to having a VIN?

Dale

 

yes, no firm date, then the rep told this afternoon that my car went into production early this morning and she gave me the last 7 of my VIN.

maybe it does have to do with spec changes, i dont know. i never changed anyhitng on my list.

 

You inspired me to go call again and .....
My MCS (yet unnamed) started production today at 5:36AM !!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!! The mojo is workin' today!!!!!! Man that feels good!!!!!! We must be following each other down the line!
They said my estimated completion date in the system is 9/14, but that is probably pessimistic and it should be done some time next week.

Dale

 

Very COol, mine started about the same time!!! Where is your MINI's destination? Mine is going to Philadelphia, so I am assuming to the New Jersey / New YOrk VPC. We might share the boat!!!

 

mojo indeed... mine will be FINISHED tomorrow!!

overloaded - drew

 

It is likely we will be on the same boat. You will probably get yours before I do though. Mine is going to Illinois first, then on the truck to Seattle.

 

Patrick- I only started production 2 days before you, so maybe we will be on the same boat :smile: . Yayyy, yayyyy, yayyyyy (thank god my co-workers are gone, or else they would think I am crazy). I hope it takes less than 10 days

N.

 

I hope it takes FIVE!

 

well speaking from experience, mine has taken exactly ten.

now what did i do with that boat schedule... ; )

 

10? Thats an OUTRAGE! haha, no... I am just happy to have some movement. From this point, I can more or less count down.

SO SOON!

 

I know I'm suppose to "rejoice with those that rejoice"....

As long as you remember to "weep with those that weep"....

I'm rejoicing for all you folks who have MINIs actually being built....and put on a boat.....and being delivered!

My fate? "Your MINI is scheduled for production with no firm production date!"

If I hear that recording once more, I may jump out my window. Although, my window is at ground level and I probably will survive the three foot jump, I may jump anyway!

Please, MINI, help! At leave give me a firm production date! I've got to hear some progress! I'm losing my sanity! Yes, the rep has told me the production date, but I want to hear the computer say it so I can call, and call, and call........

Yes, I feel better. Thank you very much! :smile:

 

Well, for those 120 or so of us OIWs (Owners in Waiting) who are on the Freedom, the good news is that she has left port in Brunswick, and is on schedule to be in port in Charleston TODAY! Our MINIs are almost on US soil!! Of course, they then go into a sort of tracking black hole... - -

 

BMWnut, you have to call and talk to a live Representative! The automated system still says the same junk for me too... "no firm date."

Got on the phone!

 

Just heard from Ask Mini that Scooter will be built by the end of the last week in September. Looking forward to learning how you all know what ship you are on and when it sails.

 

We've got a heartbeat! My car is finished and awaiting release from the factory to the port of exit. Mini says it should ship there on monday and then be in line for a one way ticket to nyc!

 

Mine has a heartbeat too! It is built and waiting transport. I've got an 05 MCS, Chili red / Black with all the options except the nav pkg and back up sensor. This is my first time posting on a forum and hope I'm doin' it right. If I am, you'll never get rid of me.

 

You're doing just fine

We have movement-Sunnie is in the paint shop getting her beautiful BRG color put on-with completion by Monday. I hear a heartbeat

Lois

 

Lois, are you getting this information from the website or a Rep from Ask MINI?
