>>Thanks Ryan. I was counting on more than 6 weeks, but if it can be less that would be great. How can you get anything done with Winnie awaiting you this week? It must be an awsome feeling.

I show that I was loaded at 11:33am. Perhaps it has sailed since then. It might have just been that updating the internet was a little slow.

It will be interesting to see when BRGMINI and I end production. His number is TD66698 and his week is 3/14. My number (this is new for your list Ryan) is TD66683. So, my number is only 15 lower but I'm scheduled for completion this week (3/7). I always knew I was the last of the 3/7s and I'm still at 150 today. Let's go Oxford - let's get those chili red spray guns moving.

as of 2/28, my car went 150. The person I talked to mentioned that it's taking about a week for cars to progress past that point.

Anyone ever have someone at ASKMINI recognize them? Just curious

Looks like I need to join this list! I was on the list for an MCS that would have delivered some time in June. This weekend I went back to the dealer and drove an MC, as I didn't do that the first time. Decided that the performance was more than adequate for my needs, and the money I save can be used to tweak a few things here and there.

The GOOD news is that my dealer's allotment allowed them to get my MC order in for March production, which should deliver in April! So the bonus is that I get my Cooper two months earlier than expected. As soon as my MA gets back to me with a production number, I'll let you know.

Rye, maybe we should change that 194 header from:
"194 – Loaded on Vessel (leaving today, yeayy!)"
to
"194 - Loaded on Vessel (LEFT TODAY!!! YEAY!)"

:smile:

LOL I am on the calls twice a day list, And several of them recognize me and know my cars name. I am not obsessed, I am not obsessed, , I am not obsessed, I am not obsessed, I am not obsessed, I am not obsessed, I am not obsessed, I am not obsessed



Oh and I just talked to them again. MyFlo was actually completed Saturday March 1st. they said call again before 9 tonight and they might have a new status change. Flo could have made it to the Jingu Maru, if only I would have installed the automatic pilot option. Hopefully I will make the toscko or whatever that ship is called the leaves tomorrow otherwise the earliest I can find is the 10th~!

WOO - HOO!

Got the production number. Now it looks like I can start bugging the folks at ASKMINI about my car. Now I just need to find the link to where all that contact info is to reach the Askmini folks.

Damn - now that I've gotten my production number, I'll never get any work done today. Ok, help out a relative newbie here.

With a production number, I assume that puts me at a Status 37. How long is it generally to 112? 150? Just trying to pace myself.

just wondering...

at what point after you receive your production number (prod. date 3/21) is it too late to change your mind about any of you options?

specifically, i'm considering changeing from JB/JB to DS/DS. any ideas?

I'm a newbie here. Are production #'s not sequential? My number is 3702393 and is scheduled fo 3/21. I noticed several higher prod #'s scheduled for earlier production. Does anybody have the scoop on this?

Thanks,

okay, i answered my own question. looks like it's too late to change my mind - which is probably a good thing. gotta go with the first instinct...

btw, my status is now 112 - order scheduled. whoo!
