The WW pages has updated for all 269 Mini's, all the 23:30 time. The Owners lounge "should" update in the next 24-48 hours and show a dealer delivery date. But OL for me has been really slow and rather useless so far.

So there's no way to track progress now, right? Except for the fairly useless OL? Other than OL, I suppose the next step will be hearing from the dealer that there is a planned delivery date.

Unless you can find an inside source, you have it right. Now it is another wait and see, if VDC does as well as they have been doing should have a delivery date soon.

Mine didn't. Maybe because of the racing stripes?

I'm mindlessly refreshing the page over and over again. :impatient

8/11 is great for you! That means maybe you'll get the car on Monday?

Good for all of you

Congratulations, it appears another set of West Coast MINIs have made it to land. I'm glad for all of you, post some pictures and introductions when you get your MINIs.

Enjoy the drive and drive safe.

I would guess that you will be on the same truck, your Mini may have just not made it into the system yet.

Did not sleep well. Dreamt my deliver date was 8/23 and imagined this meant it had been damaged in transport.

Ok, here I go...logging onto OL...

Congrats, BKJohnso and Tharkun, by the way. I don't meant to be a wet blanket of self pity b/c I don't have a date yet. I'll still cross my fingers that my car will share a truck with yours...

To soon for you to panic yet.
We do not know exactly how many shifts per day, how many days per week they work, or how many Mini's the VDC really process each day. There was suppose to be 269 Mini's in this shipment, if we use the 90 per day that tonic was told by his MA, and assume they started Monday morning, then it could be as simple as yours and his has not been ran thru the system yet.
It would have helped if there were more than the just four of us on this post tracking our cars at the VDC. Hang in there and I bet yours will be showing up
with a date.
