I'm guessing we might see them in 7-8 days from today. WW site does show all 363 Minis being unloaded today (22:06, which may be UTC, which would be 15:06 PST!).

I base the 7-8 days on things I've seen in posts from folks in earlier week's production. We'll see, I guess.

Still have to clean out the garage! Not done yet!

 

Thanks Maxshrike0, it would be a great day if the MINI makes it to Denver before the 10th. I was just getting detail from the WW website, it shows my car was discharged. It was #104 on the manifest. A tidbit of history while we wait.

A buddy and I took a trip down to Mini SF today and their LB/B MCS is still sitting front and center in their showroom, complete with 18" JCW's and CF bodywork. Didn't have a proper camera so here are a few cell phone photos:











Definitely helped tide me over a bit.

Anyone hear any good news from their MA's yet???

 

Nice pic's...

I haven't heard anything yet... hoping in the next day or two, at least a heads up that it should be soon. The garage is just about ready!

 

We're holding our breath waiting as well. I'm hoping it will be pick up ready sometime next week. OL still says our mini is in transit. Man they don't update that thing do they?

 

Yes, I talked with my MA today, not much news. The dealer system pretty much matches what is OL. At least we know our MINIs are somewhere in the VDC since the WW OL shows the MINI has been discharged on the ship paperwork. Does anyone know if that means they are waiting on the dock for customs clearance and not at the VDC?

Waiting ...... MCSA DS/w --- pricing mods, planning

 

I imagine they clear customs very quickly. Companies have that operation down pat.

I suspect our minis were at the VDC very soon after being unloaded. From looking at recent weeks production groups, west coast VDC time seems to be 7-8 days... one even seemed to clock out at 5 days.

I'm still thinking late next week...

 

Yesterday my owners lounge report said my car is at the VDC.

I've backed up my travel plans by a week so that I can pick up my car on the 12th instead of the 19th

 

Good news for Titus passengers! I called my MA when I saw OL had listed the car at the VDC. The MA said they checked and its been released to trucking and would be at the dealer today or tomorrow! Of course they said they'll need time to program it and such.

So Titus people your Mini's are leaving the gates!

 

Blah...this bites. OL still shows mine as "Enroute"

 

mine still says en-route too..

 

OK, my OL just updated tonite, to "At VDC"... Now, we all know it's been there since about 5/30 (weds)... So, as expected OL is ~ 3 days behind.

I'll be expecting a call from my MA sometime next week. Haven't talked to them since I placed the order in mid-April...

 

I'm still "en route" on line.... guess I was one of the last off the boat and they haven't gotten to it yet.... MA doesn't have anything more either.

 

I'm on the same boat with you.. still says "en route"... getting very anxious. I'm being good about it and haven't bug my MA once yet... except for making sure they don't drill front plates holes

 

Ya, I haven't bothered my MA once since the order, but now, I told him I was going to have to bug him every couple days cause I'm so excited. He was cool with that, said it wasn't a problem and that he has his ways to stop the annoying ones, lol.

 

Nice to see the status changing for everyone. I came back from a weekend of Vintage racing and checked the OL. Current status is at the VDC, now I will wait until mid-week to see if my MA gives me a call.

I'm still hoping for sometime late in the week of June 11. If not, gotta bug the MA. The wait has been fun sharing thoughts on the BB.

You weren't up at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, were you? I was a spectator at the vintage raceday yesterday, and it was a lot of fun!

 

How are you guys capable of waiting so patiently? I've been losing sleep over an R56 that's waiting at the VDC and it's not even mine. Maybe it's because there is a pile of mods that is steadily accumulating for it in my garage. The same frustration goes for my M3 which has been at the bodyshop for over a month.

Does anybody know of any sleep medication that may help?

 

No, I was in wonderful Pueblo, Colorado at the Trans-AM Weekend with RMVR. It was a good session with a lot of interesting weather. Saturday the last group was called due to rain. On Sunday, we called due to lightning and rain for groups 4,5 and 6. I think the cars and drivers had a very fast and nice weekend. We had a couple of Mini Classics out on track and lots of fast T/A, F5000 and Big Bore folks.

On Saturday I was working flag and communications on corner 3. On Sunday I was working grid safety and control.

The front straight at Pueblo is unsafe in the wet, just ask the group 4 guys.

I had a question for my MA, since I had a conversation with my local credit union rep. which was a little perplexing, but it is resolved. I know, I'm impatient

My MA gave me a great update, his status shows my MCSa should be on the truck on 9 June and at the dealer next Tuesday 12 June. I really expect it to be at the dealer on the 13th or 14th.

So, I promised my MA not to bug him until next week, he politely informed me he was going camping for a long weekend and he would call when he gets back on Tuesday with a status.

Still looking for a wheel/tire combination for the 2nd set of wheels. I guess I have a few weeks before the first time trials or hill-climb in our area.

Looks like I may just be in a neverending "en route" stage online, yup, still there....

But I did get a great call from me MA today telling me it should be ojn the truck on the 9th and at the dealership on the 12th and hopfully ready to pick up on the 14th

 

I wonder if the same dates are being used by all the MAs? Thanks Twon, but don't we live in different cities and I believe your only about 175 miles from Oxnard, correct me if I'm wrong.

Don S. Hoping for the 14th for sure, otherwise it will be the next week due to family commitments out of state.

07 MCSa DS/w (going to be on the truck - in the mail, hummm).

 

Woohoo...in transit!! Should be at the dealer tomorrow and ready to pick up Thursday!!

 

Congrats, bushman! Are you in the LA area? (just trying to see when the NorCal people should expect delivery)

 

My owners lounge info just changed to "At your MINI dealer". It's only a 15 mile (or so) haul from the port to the dealer

Too bad I won't be able to be there to pick it up until the 12th
