ask your MINI Motoring Advisor to find out why ... your not the first one to get delayed by VPC tho.

Hang in there...
Mine was at the VPC for over 3 weeks and also 1 month on the docks in England.
You probably don't believe it now (I didn't at the time), but really it is worth the wait.

Mine made vpc on 10/8. It's still there. The dealer tells me it's waiting for a full truck making a run to the dealer. Till then it is waiting with one other MINI. Very frustrating! Especially since the guy in the next office (MINITiger) had his production date two weeks after mine and his car is at the dealer.

Until mine releases, I guess I'll live through him.

btw, the dealer tells me it's not a repair issue since he gets notified of repair delays out of vpc.

chin-up, they won't let us take up vpc space for ever, though a specially deliver run would be nice.

Has MiniUSA told you the car has been released from the VPC?

My car was released from the VPC on 10/17 (same day it was checked in to the VPC), but it hasn't been put on a truck yet. So it's still technically sitting at the VPC. The dealer is only a hour's drive from the VPC, so this part gets kinda frustrating - but my delay is still minimal. I'm still hoping that I might be able to get the car this weekend... (fingers crossed)
