Offline | I got in late last night from a business trip on the west coast hoping that maybe, just maybe I would have some good word. If not good word, just SOME word, but I just got the same crap info that I left with on Tuesday - Unloaded on August 12th. Now ASKMINI is off for the weekend and I can't even call. It really amazes me but I don't know why I should be surprized. I need to sell my present car and I've been offered a good price for it, but I'm afraid the buyer may pull back the offer if something doesn't happen soon. This wait is really affecting my personal business life now. Congrats to all you H.L. shipmates that have gotten your cars or that at least have made it to the VPC. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever get my MINI.  Butch Chili Red MC White top and mirrors with Sport & Cold weather package, multi-function steering wheel and spoiler. Delivered on 8/30/02!! |

Offline | Yes! It's at the VPC . . . Logged onto the OL just now and the status was updated to "At Distribution Center" (Finally!) Although my car was scheduled to arrive at the dealer on 8/22, any type of forward movement is gratifying now. Just called ASK MINI and was told the car was at the VPC and would most likely ship out today or tomorrow. Keep the faith, Hudson Leader comrades . . .

Offline | CoopR , Not to rain on your parade but the distribution center seems to be backed up and cars have been sitting there for alot longer than they should be . Mine has now been there 5 days . I was also told at first it would be in and out but then the bottleneck occured .Knowing they would have more volume at the distro center you think they would of prepared for it . I also had a 8/22 delivery date but Mini doesn't seem to care about keeping there word on anything! |

Offline | Don't worry, qwik, when it comes to waiting for my car I've grown accustomed to the downpours. Gave MINI a call and was told that the car has now passed through the VPC and could be loaded onto a truck as soon as tomorrow. The representative indicated that the main bottle neck is gaining entry to the VPC. He stated that once a car passes through, final shipment takes place rather quickly. I'll save my celebration for when I actually see the car sitting on the dealer's lot!Cooper S DS/W Sport, Premium, Cold Weather, Lapis Blue Leather, Rogue Engineering Shadow Stripes 7/19 Production Date 9/1 Delivery Date |

Offline | Hey Catalyst, Nice color choice, we're pretty close in other options too. Except for the wheels and sun roof we could be twins !! I assume we are in the same waiting game as well, waiting to clear the VPC and head home to the dealer for pick up ! Hope you get yours soon, Motor on !! Jim 2006 Solar Red/Silver Cooper |

Offline | JimMini - Obviously you have discerning tastes! Since my Cooper is now only in its 8th day of sitting on the dock, it's clear that you'll have yours well before me! LOL Be sure to post some pics of that Pepper White beauty - I've never seen one in person, and the car photographs quite differently in dfferent lighting. 2002 Pepper White Cooper 5 speed, Black roof w/ spoiler, sunroof, Black kaleido cloth sport seats, silver 7-hole wheels, DSC, front fogs, chrome lines, MFSW, built 8/7, acquired 9/12 |

Offline | I’m still waiting. Still waiting StanMINI, thanks for asking. As of this morning my status in the OL changed to at the Distribution Center. The dealer told me last Thursday that my car had cleared the VPC and was expected to arrive Monday or Tuesday. It’s Wednesday and still no car. I threatened to move into their showroom yesterday and campout until it arrives. I can’t believe this has been such a frustrating experience. I wrote a complaint message to the CEO of BMW NA yesterday via Planetfeedback.com. I’m sure that he has bigger things to worry about, but I figured that if enough of us complained it might cause them to look at the situation and save other MINI lovers from the same frustration in the future. |

Offline | Well, it sounds like things are starting to break loose. I know I couldn't have been much more frustrated when the car was stuck on the dock. In fact, I transcended frustrated and went right on in to angry. However, once things started to move it seemed like the dealer data was pretty accurate. I would bet you will have your car in a day or two. Good Luck. Cooper S - Chili Red w/Black The road goes on forever and the party never ends. |
