The best part is about to begin...I think everything goes well until the VDC, those are the worst days. You must be sooo excited! Heck, I'm excited for you

Congrats!!! You can track your MINI in the Owner's Lounge (least accurate), through your MA, or through the 1-866-ASK-MINI hotline. Once on a boat, you can track it across the sea. As at7815 said, once at the VDC tracking gets harder, but your MINI it generally only 5-10 days away!!!

Before you know it,you'll be showing people little red dots on a map of the Atlantic Ocean as the ship that's carrying your new "baby" makes the voyage to your nearest VDC. You will know this phone number and frequently visit these sites.

Vehicle status

Congratulations! I refused to go quietly into the good night when this happened to me. So I founded the "Skuzzy School of Whine". It is where you can learn the fine art of whining.

Knowing when the time is right to uncork a good whine is important as you go forward in the process of waiting for your Mini.

DISCLAIMER: The Skuzzy School of Whine is not an accredited educational system. As a matter of fact, as educational systems go, it is not much of a credit to anything. But spots are filling fast! Any and all monies to pay for this silly thing will not be refunded. If you are goofy enough to pay for this, then you get what you deserve.

No. sit and whine.

Maybe I should get one. But that would mean calling my MA...what a pain, then calling mini, also a pain, going to miniusa, another pain, but I have nothing better to do and it would be nice to know when they will start building it.

The wait really isn't all that terrible. I'm think about driving it everyday when I get in my huge magnum, but it's gone by fast! I'm only two weeks away (I hope)!
