Hang in there guys! Your cars will be here before you know it and then *boom*, 6 months later you hit 10K on the odo.

Maybe, I originally was going to go for the Space Blue which looked completely different on the online build model to the sample they had in the showroom.

But I figured that my first "sports" car shouold be red. I liked the how much darker the Solar red looks, along with being a little more blue than the Chili. If I had my way though, I would've liked a Velvet red/ white roof.

And I know what you mean about the value holding. I was looking around for a used one, but the payments would've been higher than on a new one!

Southhampton departure pushed back a day, arrival in S.C, also. Now 11-8 & 11-18. Better check your VINs on the WW website after tomorrow to see if you made the ship.

I know what you mean, I also was drawn to the Space Blue on the configurator, but when I saw it in person it was too dark for my taste, but a real nice blue !

The Solar Red samples at Keeler reminded me of what we refered to in the 50's as "Candy Apple Red" and pretty much "locked up" my choice !

I am amazed at your timing. My convertible was also completed 11/1, but they tell me it is still awaiting a carrier. That was as of this morning - still. Does it seem odd to just sit there for a week?

Nobodies, but I do have a crack team at the factory who will be keeping me informed of my MINIs labour and birth!

CDMINI · Nov 8th, 2005, 08:55 PM

The UNDINE left Southhampton for S.C. today and the WWW website shows "Pepe", our PW/B MCS ordered on 10-7 is in his sea berth. Batten down the hatches, he may be here by thanksgiving week, YIPPEE.

FrenchCori · Nov 9th, 2005, 01:51 AM

I e-mailed my MA yesterday to ask why my build week was changed from 44 to 46. He told me that there was a delay in some of the trim pieces. Then I asked him if I could add the rear fog light to the order, and he said no because SHE"S BEING MANUFACTURED! My baby is being born this week! Who wants a cigar?

((Sratching head)) Isn't this week 45? Cigar please!

JimMini · Nov 9th, 2005, 04:01 AM

Must mean that it gets produced except for the missing trim pieces and sits on the sidelines for a week until they arrive!

Congrats..lighting up the old "White Owl" as we speak

JimMini · Nov 9th, 2005, 10:27 PM

I got an email from my MA today saying my car is in production.......

French Cori, I wonder if our Solar Reds are going through prdouction together

Wouldn't be special if they both arrived at Keeler together

Giggle. But I'm married!

It would be funny if they showed up at the same time.

How about a Central New York Mini meet?

BTW, I'm reconsidering the silver bonnet dilemma from the cute picture you have on your posts. It's starting to grow on me...like mold...

FrenchCori

As for the trim week question, I'm assuming that the trim showed up earlier than expected, and she was re-re-scheduled for a week 45 build, but knowing my luck it probably will be sitting there an extra week waiting for trim...

Hey Guys,

Anyone else miss the Undine's departure and get rescheduled for the Patriot? My build date was the 3rd and was in Southampton on the fourth but, well, missed the boat yesterday.

I guess the extra time on English soil will do him good...
BTW, JimMini, love the red and silver!

Mosco · Nov 11th, 2005, 02:27 PM

After being "in production" since the 1st, I finally saw some updated information today. A) Production is complete and B) It has boarded the Patriot and should be shipping today!! One more month of waiting and it should be here.

Nexus · Nov 11th, 2005, 03:36 PM

My dealer called today, it's now on the boat to Oostend! Which means I can pick the car up next tuesday

JimMini · Nov 11th, 2005, 03:57 PM

The OL at MINI USA has assigned me a VIN number

Hope everyone at the plant is having a good day
