VDC for Texas Orders

Just curious as to where MINI's come into port for delivery to Texas customers.

I'm pretty sure they arrive at the Charleston, South Carolina port and are then trucked over. Could be wrong though, I'm in the North East...

But Tommy wouldn't your other car feel more comfortable having its sibling come through Port Hueneme?

Are you going for an R56, or grabbing a Clubman?

Well we ordered an R56 CR/B today and yes taking the trip around to Cali would be great but not this time. We ordered and within an hour had our production number and looks like its about 6 weeks out. Much better than the 6 months it took when we ordered our PW/B

Wow, there must be a story there! I couldn't imagine waiting even half that time.

Well I ordered back in November of 2005 for my 06 and that was the West Coast wait time then. It was a little longer for an MCS and a year for a convertible. I am happy with 6-8 weeks for this one!
