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....

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.

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

Indi Blue MCS
I had one once.....

Status numbers ?

HEY:

Can someone tell me where you find out what production status number your car is at. In owner's lounge mine says, scheduled date for production Nov. 1st. Any idea of how much time from production to delivery ?

Thanks so much ! Happy motoring

Dock to dealer!

Seems like lots of variation between Paul & Sjjn.

I wonder how the west coast VPC will do.
