No need to feel bad for my self induced agony over my baby not being birthed yet

I feel better now

 

*whew* glad that is cleared up. You had Mike pacing even more than he has the prior 5 nights in a row.

I was contemplating sending NAM gremlins to visit your house!

 

Well, we'll probably be the first family in history that has a restraining order taken out on them by MINIUSA.

 

I don't know, quite a few of us have probably come close. You should join the MOCD support group in the General Mini Talk section of NAM

If I can be of any help, let me know. My Mini should be going through the Panama Canal sometime this weekend so I've had recent experience with the process. I can point you to all the tracking maps and Canal webcams and such . I'll soon be part of a two Mini family myself. I know you will be soon as well .

 

I'll jump in the MOCD thread in the morning... for now I have to refresh the Owners Lounge site every 15 minutes for the next 8 hours until I take an hour break to drive to work.

We love being part of a 2 mini family my 04 MCS and her 06 MCSc... the best is going grocery shopping, we always take both MINIs wherever we go... so we always hear... "Look thier cars are so small thay have to carry home groceries in two of them." to which we reply... "We don't have to, it's just more fun this way!"

 

Well, I called 1-866-ASK-MINI this morning and Alice is in the "body Shop". Still scheduled to be completed by 7/15.

Woohoo!

 

Congrats! Mine has a completion date of 7/16. I'm not sure how long it takes after that to board the ship?

Hang in there Mike. I bet yours will be in production any minute Let us know once you find out.

Penny

 

Just called also and rec'd the same information:
7/12/07 - Body Shop
7/15/07 - Complete

 

That depends on where it is headed. If it's to the West Coast, we only have one ship per week that usually leaves every Monday. If it is going to the East Coast then it there are far more choices. From what I've seen, your Mini generally needs to be at the port approximately 3 days before your ship is scheduled to depart Southampton.

 

So then how long is the trip to the East Coast?

 

I think the trip itself(to the East Coast) is something like 9-11 days or so depending on which port. I believe that time frame for when it would make its first port of call on the trip. The trip to the West Coast takes about 21 days depending on delays going through the Panama Canal.

 

YAY *happy dance*


Congrats *confetti*

Awesome! *balloons & party hats*

I hope MINIUSA has some good news for Mike today.

Or perhaps he's going to learn that they haven't been able to work on his yet, because they were building the ones for Mini S Pilot, Gopher, and Penny. :impatient


I kid, I kid. He'll be very happy for each of you!

 

Whoohooo!!!

Congrats MINI S Pilot, Gopher, and Penny!! Very glad to hear you got your dates...

Tell me... does having a date mean you are less likely to have fingernails embedded in the surface of the desk now?

Truly I am glad to hear the news

 

Mine will come into the South Carolina VPC. Last time, it only stayed there about 2-3 days, and then was at the dealer (Atlanta - MoSA) very shortly after that. My MA was really surprised how quickly this one has gone into production SOooooo ....
Mike I feel that today is YOUR DAY for some really good news!

 

Thanks!!!

What finger nails? I believe they disappeared upon trying to figure out what I wanted option wise before ordering.

 

Mike's at work now....undoubtedly hitting "refresh" every 10 mins and calling MINIUSA as I type this.

I must say...it's odd to sit here in our office and not have the Owner's Lounge music playing in the background.

 

That music is hypnotic... :impatient

 

click...music click music click music click music click music click music...
"Mike if I hear that music again I'm throwing a brick at you"

Click...music....THUD... "OWWW"

 

Ohh Geezz, you both are too funny.

By the time you get your Mini Mike this weeks support goup topic will have the most posts out of any previous weeks support group threads . And I thought I had a bad case of MOCD. I think you have a more virulent case of the disorder .

 

 

I bet everyone it getting excited!! I am excited for you
I have now discovered that I am in week 32....
I hope everyone posts details on their new minis so I can live
vicariously threw you

 

Cool! Was told production completion date of 7/18/07 as of today.

Got the VIN # also.......

Seriously, contrary to my title of this post, I am very impressed as to the status after just placing the order on 7/9...

 

Congratulations, LOP!!

 

My baby is in the Paint Shop today.

Am I in the right week here?

 

OMG OMG OMG!!!!

I am pleased to announce that at exactly 08:10:41 on July 12, 2007 my MINI entered production and I have a VIN.

I am sooooooooooo excited!!
