Offline | TIMELINE references for future owners I thought, maybe, we should start a thread regarding your MINI's timeline to help future owners understand where they are in the process. So my timeline looks like this: March - Ordered Indi Blue MINI Cooper S August 8 - Dealer placed order for a 9/27 production date September 10 - Status 112 September 15 - Status 150 and Vin Number assigned September 25 - BORN September 28 - Shipped to Southhampton September 30 - left on the Don Juan Oct 8th - In Port at Bayonne, NJ Oct 14 - VPC Oct 17 - Dealer Oct 18 - MINI is MINE(y) Total days in anguish - 6 months 18 days. (23 days from built to mine) Granted mine may look longish but I was waiting for INDI BLUE to start production. Anyone else want to chime in with their story? MINE!! on 10/18/02 - IB/W Cooper S, White Bonnet Stripes, Premium - Sport - Cold, Lapis Blue interior, Nav, Rally Lamps, 17" White Spokes. Wouldn't change a thing....

Offline | Funny thing... I posted this after I picked mine up to help others with the WAIT and the inevitable questions that go along... Seems like noone reads it because there are about 8 new posts above this asking what is answered here... So I'll bump it up again. Once again, feel free to add your experience. MINE!! on 10/18/02 - IB/W Cooper S, White Bonnet Stripes, Premium - Sport - Cold, Lapis Blue interior, Nav, Rally Lamps, 17" White Spokes. Wouldn't change a thing.... |

Offline | Thanks. My IB/W MCS was born on the 23rd. (I'm status 160 on the 24th) I've been wondering if it would make the Don Juan on the 27th & it doesn't look like it from your experience. I think that puts me out a week for the Jingu Maru on the 3rd. At least that's what I think. I thought I read somewhere that it would come in through New York. I'm hoping it gets to Indianapolis before Thanksgiving. Ordered Sept 9 status 112 on Oct 9 status 152 on Oct 21 status 155 on Oct 23 status 160 on Oct 24 |
