Eveyone who just arrived on the Don Juan into NYC, Lets keep each up to date on when we are getting our cars! Also we should get them all together some day for a reunion!

My status, according to Miniusa my Mini S is at the VPC with a checklist printed for it. They expect to to be delivered this comming week! I will let you know when I get it with some pics...

[Allybrit]

Sounds good Jfelix

My S is also still at the VDC according to my dealer this afteroon, I know she is sick of seeing me......
I am also hoping for delivery sometime this week, will keep you posted.

[sjjn]

Not Yet.

After getting on a boat I didn't expect and all that smooth sailing, I'm stuck on the Docks at Bayonne with Allybrit as well.

Hopefully something will get sorted and I will be Motoring some time this week. I mean, c'mon now, it just has to cross the river and it's at my dealership.

[sjjn]

Called ASK-MINI (again)..work order at VPC is processed and the next step is delivery to dealer...looks like we're possibly on the road later today or tomorrow

[Allybrit]

me too sjjn, I called and they said work order completed, no outstanding work to be done, so looks like delivery is next step.....HURRY UP !!!!!!

[jfelix]

My work order is STILL NOT PROCESSED!!!! I am not amused at this point, I just went to the dealer and saw almost my exact car. Indy blue with black roof and 17", It was stunning... And now I am bitter..

Ask your dealer to make a phone call for you and see whats up.........keep asking...they said mine was supposed to be released to the carrier on the 10th but they hadnt any updates since the weekend so maybe something changed today with yours.....Good luck mate !!! Keep us posted

I am in virginia beach also, but no luck like yours yet....I was originally told Nov/Dec so I am still very happy with the timing of my order. Maybe I will see you around, live at Courthouse near Princess Anne...

[Allybrit]

one more thing VB??

Did they call you from Checkered Flag?? How did you find out your car was here??

[sjjn]

My dealer called this morning, said they were starting to come in today Coopers first, S's later. Saving the best for Last I imagine

Soon...so very soon.....

I recieved an email from Jonathan Svezia at Westchester Mini this morning. He sent pictures of my car!! It is there but not prepped yet. It was shipped with silver instead of the ordered white S lites. Lori is working on getting that corrected.
I am SO excited!
Assembly completed 9/23, ready for delivery 10/16. 23 days.
And I am not scheduled to fly back and pick her up untill the 24th!! Will I survive the wait???

Hi

Called mini this afternoon, they told me different info. They said my car went to the VDC yesterday ????, and should be outta there in the next few days..............this feels suspiciously like another nightmare I went through with lost immigration papers hehe.my friends at work said Tony Soprano is driving thru NJ in my car.....congrats to all those now driving or soon to be.....

[jfelix]

I sent an Email message to MiniUSA telling them that my Car was at the VPC for 6 days and if they could let me know why. My car all of the sudden is on it's way to my Dealer! The VPC is 30 Minutes from the Dealer, so it should be here by Thursday!!! Good Luck

Your Mini is calling for you... How long is the drive back? That would kill me to wait when I knew it was ready...

[Allybrit]

Thanks J Felix

Email to Miniusa has been sent.........this forum has been brilliant, and I appreciate all the help and tips. I will keep you posted...

[MINIVB]

The owners lounge said est. delivery was 10/13. I went on 10/13 was not there. Called them Monday morning. Found out all MINI's are delivered to BMW dealer. It's there now, it was delivered Monday morning. Still waiting for them to start aero kit. Al Walker's body shop does their after market add ons. See you around.

[jfelix]

Sjjn, I thought the next step after work order processing was to be sent to the dealer, but now i realize it is to sit around waiting for a truck... Did your car get to the dealer yet? How long did it take fro once the work order was completed to get on a truck and to the dealer?

Thanks,

James

[sjjn]

J,

I called MINI and they said I also am awaiting a delivery vehicle..I guess that's why my dealer never called me back yesterday.

To dealer is the next step, but of course waiting for the truck is part of that step I mean, c'mon already, It just has to get through the Lincoln/Holland Tunnel and it's home.

This really is the worst part of the waiting process. Hopefully we'll be driving this weekend.

At least I can stare at the pics nelsdvn posted in his gallery until I finally see my baby.

[jfelix]

This part SUCKS!!!!! With a captital S, I don't even need to go through a tunnel! I am sitting 20 miles from it. I think the supply chain has a weak link, I hope my baby is not sitting outside in this bad weather. It is just as well though I wouldn't want to pick it up in th rain.. But if I don't get it by this weekend I am going to be bitter. Lets get a move on guys, we have been waiting for a year!!!!!!
