Anybody else on the west coast expecting their MINI on this date? Mine's on the Jupiter Diamond, due in Jan. 30th. Was told I'd get my Cooper early March, but w/ a late Jan. arrival, could be earlier :smile: :smile: Just wondering if anyone else has the same "delivery date"- other expectant parents out there?

Greetings, Kohu'ulaMINI. Since it shows on the Jupiter Diamond intinerary that it's leaving the same day (Jan. 30th) as it arrives from Port Hueneme, and it was only in Southampton for a day before it left England, I'd say you've got a good shot at a Feb. delivery :smile: Go MINIs, go!! Where are you, CheckerStripe? California? I'm in Oregon, dealership: Rasmussen BMW.

Wow, CheckerStripe, you must have ordered an S, to go to far for delivery! Last time I checked up at Rasmussen, they didn't know if they'd be taking S orders any time within many months, up to a year. I just couldn't wait, so a Cooper it is

Aloha shipmates! Any others on board besides fms and CheckerStripe? How long was the wait for your MINIs? I guess someone in the Seattle area couldn't wait very long because last month a VR/B MC was being shipped to Seattle from MINI of Hawaii.
Maybe the Jupiter Diamond will catch a fast current and arrive to port earlier Too optimistic maybe?

We ordered in December at Seattle & Salt Lake.

Seattle's dealer was quoting 8-12 months for a Coop and 14+ months for an S. I had heard Rasmussen was not much better so we found the closest dealer with the least wait time and the lowest "dealer charge" amount.
I don't know if that VR/B from Hawaii was already spoken for or not, 'cause we were on their list but never heard a thing. It's OK though, my baby will be here in a month!!!
