I hope you are right. As of now, I still don't have a VIN number, so I can't check on anything

I hope the Recaros are still available...I was looking forward to them.

 

Received an update yesterday that our order is still in the order bank so it appears to me that the Roadster is being produced in pretty small numbers, or is a little slow to get to full production. Won't be surprised if our order ends up being a '13 model.

 

If the timelines I am reading are correct . i was in the body shop a few days ago, so my roadster should be done today.
I will call Monday an hopefully have an update.

 

I just had to share

 

Pictures attached

 

Fantastic! The blue looks great!

I can't wait to get mine now, hopefully by next weekend, it should be in New York now!

 

Congrats, its beautiful .I love to see the real cars

 

Gary,

Beautiful...you got yourself what looks to be the "rare" Recaros. Well done

-Steven

 

It's gorgeous best wishes

 

Well folks- Ordered on Jan 7th, took delivery on Monday, have only had a couple non-rainy days to take her for a spin...



Humbly equipped with MINI Connected+NAV and Cold Weather Package. Added a grill badge holder and tinted windows this weekend. Looking forward to summer (it was ~50 degrees when I took this photo).

 

Wow everyone I see they just get better looking, absolutely stunning
Enjoy

 

My JCW Ver. 2.0
Had to go with different seats, since the Recaros are not available at this time...

 

Blue, I know your bummed about the seats, but the new black and tan combination really looks.

Another really nice and very unique build! No stripe, a darker colour and contrasting leather really seems to work on the roadster.

 

[QUOTE=spiney;3479854]Thanks, strangely, this was my first color combo. When the Recaros became available I thought I would regret not getting them, so I changed to them. This will be more interesting visually than the all black. Strange how things work out

 

Your car is going to be awesome!!! If the wife didn't insist that the new one needed to be BRG like my old one, this would have been one of my top choices!

 

Thanks Liquid,
In a way, I'm glad I changed to the Toffee, it gave a more classic look to the Roadster. I was on the fence with BRG/Toffee, as that I thought was classic English roadster. This part of the process is what makes these cars so engaging

What website are you using for those pics in your posts?

 

Interior and profile are from MiniUk. They use a different configurator.

-Steven

 

Thanks.

It really is amazing how different the US and UK sites are.
Are we really that different?

 

My pleasure It's funny you say that, I was just reading someone on the other side of the pond was saying the U.S. got a much better configurator. Apparently, Mini spent a lot more developing the U.S. version. Hmmm. I like aspects of both.

Found out today through my MA, that my JCW went into production today at 5:38AM - OL and ASK MINI still shows it as "on order" So we're looking at 4-5 weeks for delivery
(Ordered Feb 25; Production # March 8)

Finally, we are moving forward. I received a VIN and a production number today...hoorah
