I tell you it is getting harder to get into my no-frills Corrolla every day!!

Hi Guys,

My order jumped forwarded from June production to April over night. I think it was a cancelled it. It is meant to be delivered on the 16th. Does anyone else have a car being delivered to the SEWELL Bishops Stortford?

Anyone else heard any more rumours on the cars being shipped early?

BTW, My original Mini Cooper came early about 18 months ago. 1 week early, maybe the same will happen again!

Wow! All this talk about early early early has me getting really excited.. I am up at 1:43AM and can not sleep.. I check the owners lounge every day to see if my production week 15 EB/W MCS is scheduled for the "Birth Canal" I am hoping the usual increase in orders due to Spring buying season will place pressure and enduce labor!

I am ready! We put our deposit down Dec 21st with a stall in putting the order in on purpose so as to avoid getting the car during the salty Winter months.. "Blitzen" will be kept in the barn during the Winter..

Sorry for the rambling.. just getting excited knowing worse case it is only a couple more weeks until production!

Hey Craig, my MCS was scheduled for week 12 production. It started production mid week 11. It was complete Thursday week 12. Little good that did since mine has been waiting for a ship ever since.

It is supposed to be loaded this Saturday on the slowest ship on the planet. It's supposed to take 14 days! Most of the other ships take 11-13 days. LOL. It will get here eventually. Good luck.

pocket_rocket · Mar 26th, 2004, 08:29 PM

KG,

Thanks for the words of encouragement..

Just found out some great news! I called Ask MINI and they clarified the week for me.
Week 15 is actually one week away and not two like I thought.. So I am actually one week ahead of schedule by my estimates.

My MA ordered his car and it was built week 11 also! He said his is shipping next week also so your two cars could be shipmates..

How did you find out about your boat etc.. How did you know it is so slow?
Is there a way to track the ship?

Craig

My Mini was ordered on March 10th. I received an order number through the mail very quickly and from there I was able to track my mini. The tracking is not accurate, but I also e-mailed Mini a couple of times and they let me know what was going on. My mini started on the production line on March 11 and was finished on the 22nd. A few days later it was listed as"Awaiting Transportation". ASK Mini told me that it would be loaded on a ship on April 14th, which sounded like a long time to be sitting on the docks there in England, but that is all of the information that I got on that. I was also told that the ship carrier "WW" lost their exclusive mini carrier status......... in other words, BMW/Mini has hired another carrier as well as WW to transport Mini's around the world. I have gone to WW and entered my tracking information but it somes up with no results so I am assuming that it will be sent on another carrier. Kind of frustrating but it will get here when it gets here and .......... good things come to those who wait. This is far more exciting than going down the street, walking into a dealership adn buying a cr on the spot, a car that EVERYONE else has!!!!! Mini's are unique and so are we!!!!!!!!

Haha, I too have been a MINI2 member for a looooong time before placing my order. And yes, got my production code just the other day as well. Although, I was not told a specific build week, all my dealer said was that he should have a chassis number for me by mid-late April.

IB/W MCS / white 16" X lites / DSC / Xenons / Climate control / Bonnet stripes / BIG SMILE!!!

Am anticipating final delivery, hopefully by June, but probably in July.

Cheers Liam

Robert-in-Maine · Mar 28th, 2004, 03:03 PM

I want to ping my dealer this coming week just to confirm some things. I was told production week 17 originally. If my browsing this board is correct that puts me in my Mini late May or so which is a very long wait!!!!

Here's hoping for some luck.

shanemcr · Mar 28th, 2004, 06:02 PM

Hmm. Ask Mini still says my MINI is "in transit", but I know it hasn't been built yet. I guess I'll have to call during the week and talk to a person.

298 · Mar 29th, 2004, 03:32 PM

Shane,

My MINI had the same thing... funny thing though, after talking to the rep at ASK-MINI everything was ahead of schedule. Now the automated msg and website are updated.

ClashCityRocker · Mar 30th, 2004, 09:49 AM

Well I am finally picking my MINI up on 7th April - 2 weeks ahead of schedule and just in time for the Easter break. Fantastic!!!

xnetco · Mar 30th, 2004, 03:54 PM

That's really good news. Any ideas why?
