How's it smell?

What's it look like?

Any little dings?

Damn. I am just so jealous!

Congratulations.

Where's Mine?

I know, VPC.

But do I ever believe what OL says about my car?

GMINI · Sep 9th, 2002, 12:43 PM

I have posted this thread mainly to sense the retardation (if any) of my delivery as compared to, say, someone in RI(Rhodyrobert). Or Ohio (notonthetopofmyhead) for that matter.

Actually. I am targeting mainly US members. Hell, I am sure it's a ridiculous question to any week 33 owner in UK. But hey. Wouldn't it be nice to know their 8/16 motor came out and drives smashingly?

MINIUSA claims I'm still at the VPC - work order printed on 9/6.

rhodyrobert · Sep 10th, 2002, 03:45 AM

As of the last phone call, my mini has been completed at the VPC and is now awaiting the transport to Boston. With any luck the vehicle could be moving on Tuesday. (about 5 hour trip) If they receive it on Tuesday then I may get it by the end of the week.

That's nice. Mines still in VPC.

Lucky you.

Lucky you.

Still sitting at VPC waiting for carrier to move to Boston. This is now the only delay. Once it gets to Boston I should have in two days. What a long wait............................

rhodyrobert · Sep 11th, 2002, 10:26 AM

Yahoo.............It is now being transported to Boston. Maybe with any luck I will have by the weekend. I will keep you posted.

~sugar~ · Sep 11th, 2002, 01:43 PM

Mine is still at sea. It will reach CA next monday (09/16). Wish I lived on the east coast.

rhodyrobert · Sep 12th, 2002, 01:08 AM

At the dealer on Wednesday. Delivery on Friday. What a weekend I will have.

I guess the timing was right. It's official. I am on my way to pick up my MCS, Dark Silver with Lapis Blue interior. I may never get home.

~sugar~ · Sep 13th, 2002, 02:52 PM

I wish mine was at VPC.

craigb · Sep 13th, 2002, 03:49 PM

I've got mine but i'm only 2 hours from the factory! It smells sweet and looks even better. Dealer found slight ding on front bumper day before delivery and gave me the option of picking it up a couple of days late or taking it now and bringing it back for a new bumper. I chose the NOW option and had the bumper replaced later. I was gutted when they first told me your brand new car is DAMAGED but these things happen and they say that the dealers only prove themselves when problems occur and they dealt with it superbly.
How long is your wait from ordering to taking delivery? Mine was 15 weeks. Hang on in there, it's well worth the wait!

Craig...you are a lucky %~~%~%#! I've been waiting 38 weeks and I only live ONE hour from the factory...and mine is still not delivered yet

It was originally scheduled for a Week 33 build but got caught up in the S-spoke fiasco.

My MCS is now near you at Thorne in South Yorkshire ...Any chance of giving us the low down on that place?

I am still at VPC for all I know. I wonder if they're doin the 24/7 like they supposedly did last weekend. Did someone lose my MINI?

(though I can't seem to post them...)

Really Rhodyrobert, where did you run to? Where did you go? I wonder why we haven't heard back from you.

rhodyrobert · Sep 14th, 2002, 11:31 AM

What's the name of that Supertramp song?............................"Take the long way home". That's what I did last night. It took 3 hours to go 40 miles. The fun I am having..

craigb · Sep 14th, 2002, 01:49 PM

eBrit, not long now if your car's at Thorne, it seems ridiculous though to take it up there and then back down to you. I've only ever been through Thorne by boat on the canal so don't know much about it other than it's a small town. Some nice twisty roads up there so will probably drive that way sooner or later!

eBrit · Sep 14th, 2002, 02:05 PM

Thanks Craigb...if you get there...give me the low down
