Okay, so this is really pushing it, but I've been cruising this site for alomost three months now learning all there is to know about the MINI I ordered and by the time it gets here (thanks to all of you) I will know what to expect. I placed my first order in August with a dealer in Oregon (home state) with a projected delivery of one year. Went up North and put a deposit down in Washington with a delivery date of 10 months (a two month difference seemed like an eternity) and then placed another deposit with a dealer in Utah with an estimated 6 months wait, which puts me somewhere near the end of March. Of course by then there will be MINI's with 25K on them and we'll all know a little more - not looking to start a club, just wanting to know who is in the same nail-biting, gut-wrenching, close-your-eyes-while-driving-so-you-don't-see-a-MINI-and-get-jealous kind of mindset.

Pushing the envelope with the "Can't wait till March" club.. . . . .

but then again, I am the one calculating the volume and mass of pennies necessary to purchase a MINI with spare change. . . .

 

Count me in the club

 

Oh oh, I am a l m o s t there......
I Think I'm going to have a March build, but can I be in the club anyway, cuz whether or not I get the car in March I still can't wait for my mini to be built!

 

Well I was supposed to get my car in March but I talked to my dealer the other day and found out about the allotment cuts of S's, so now I may not even order until March which puts me into May.

 

Yep, you can count me in,

After 8 months of waiting
i'm getting my S in march

 

My birthday is in March. So I can't wait for March either!

 

The tradition continues at MCO!

Apparently it's never to early to start a "Can't Wait For...." Club. Go for it. We feel your pain, anticipation and excitement.

The Clubs make the waiting easier. Sure, it's real easy!!

It's kind of like the ketchup commercial (sings......) A n t i c i p a t i o n.....

You only have about 90 sleepless nights to go.

All I can hope is that this is my club. With the MCS allocations reduced, I hope I don't have to join the April or later clubs.

Plus the annoyance of having to repay the initiation fee each time.

 

I wan't to cry but i can't.

As you can see above last Friday i was part of the "can't wait for march club"
But after a conversation with my dealer last saturday you can count me out of this club
an count me in the"can't wait for APRIL club"

see ya

 

MINIHOLLAND -

I started this club using the date I was originally quoted. Since my dealer had their alloction reduced I may be looking at April or even May. I was planning on picking it up on my birthday which is the first week of March, but it looks that has come and gone.

To everyone who is in the same boat as MINIHOLLAND and I - stay strong!

 

I'm in.

Mine is due late March hopefully.
We'll see, all the forums comments state relatively close estimation dates.

Waiting for a status code...


L.Mini, what do you want for your birthday?

 

I have to submit my resignation from this club. Reduced allocation, no build date, no CWfM club.

I'll wait until I get a build date before I post on another "Can't wait..." club. I can be patient, my MINI will eventually be here.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

 

Im in for the march club. build date Friday 13 Dec 02 confirmed with Honolulu Mini. Unfortunatly being out here in hawaii shipping takes a loooooong time. Patiently waiting here in paradise

 

good luck everyone. it is sooooo worth the wait!

Well I'm proad to say that I am now a member of the "Can't Wait for March" club. My mom and I ordered Lucy tonight at Knauz MINI, and they told us to expect a late march delivery. I just hope I can wait that long.

Lucy is a CR/W MC with Prem. and Cold packages and the all important white bonnet stripes. Just so you all know, Lucy is named after a famous red-head, guess which one! I was trying to decide between Lucy and Ginger, and Lucy won out.

So, It'll be a LONG two months or so, but Lucy will be mine soon enough!

So long fellow "clubbers!"

 

Hey MiniZee,

How long were you on a wait list before you placed your order?

 

Hey, March is only 3 months away! I'm scheduled for a late March delivery of Sprog #2...

 

PDX,

We were not on a wait list, we just went to the dealer and ordered one. If you are anywhere near Knauz, you should go there, they had no wait to order one, AND they had like 30 on the lot to take home.

 

hi everybody,first time posting.i call brian harris in batonrouge,la. [225-754-1200 ask for meredith meyer] in december22 i ask her are you selling the cooper s at msrp. she said yes.put down a deposit,got my production # on dec.28. i'll get the car some time in march. i live in cal. it going to cost me $875 for shipping to my friend in vegas it cheaper.i'll fly there and drive it home. :smile:

 

welcome jtmini-

so what all did you get on your MINI? Color etc.

You know I've noticed that after you drive the MINI, nothing else seems quite as exciting, especially my mom's Honda Accord But I guess I have to wait till March for some real motoring fun!

 

thanks minizee, i've got cr|wr sport pac.multi steering wheel. thinking about going racing, don't need other stuffs, i'm going to order h&rspring,intake,sway bar,and magnaflow from Randy.he got good price.so where do you live.

 

jtmini-

I live in Chicago right now, but I'm from Evanston IL. oh bye the way, I love you r choice of color!

 

Looks like I'm in. Got my production number Dec 28, and if all goes well, I motor in March!

I think I was lucky, I gave the dealership my MSC order in October, and they told me then to expect a production number in January, then said "maybe February" when allocations went down. Came a little early! For those of you who are worried about allocations, keep hope alive!

 

Count me in as well. I got my production # last week. My MCS to be built in Feb with delivery some time in March.
