Mine is going for production on the 11th March but the delivery date is 16th April!? I guess their telling me some porkys to make me happier when they can say..... "oh, we've got it ready 3 weeks before the delivery date!".

I can't wait .

Or a week at the factory awaiting transport to Thorne, a day en route, a week in the compound awaiting collection by the delivery company when they've got a transporter load going to the same dealer, a week being PDIed and polished. Am I getting closer?

Well lets put it this way, mine was built on 08/01/08 and was PDI'd at the dealership on 14/01/08 and the only reason it wasnt cleaned within a few days then was because I wasnt picking it up till March 1st

That's very quick! I just hope it's the same for me as I'd love it in mid-march rather than mid-april. Also, the dealer's manager hinted to me he wanted it well before the end of march to class it under their Q1 sales. That's fair enough for me .

Only a week until it gets put into production .

Nice one!

If the JCW kit didn't exist, I don't think I would of got a MINI at all. Also, I saw one exactly how I'm spec'ing mine the day we picked up my Dad's dooper last September. Only 5 days until mine is going in for production .

I wish my dealer would ring me and tell me when mine is ready . I know it was born last Tuesday. I just hope I can have it sometime before the end of March rather than 14th April!

Good luck with your new toy .

I was supposed to get it on 1st March, but for some reason it wasnt built in time.. after all the chasing with the dealer etc, they tell me 4 days before collection that i wasnt getting it on 1st march.

just glad it's tomorrow now...

good luck with yours, and i hope you get it before end of march

I must be very blind . Where's the pics!?

Out of delight, I had a call from a very nice man at Cooper Chelmsford today . Car is arriving at the dealer on Wednesday and will be ready 2 weeks from today . I now at least a real countdown and thankgod it's 2 weeks earlier than projected. Bit gutted I can't pick it up at the weekend before the monday as I'm in Leeds in the whole weekend! Oh well, I'm booking a day off to take the new Cooper out and about .

Mega excited now . I'll be the last person probably to recieve their 08 Mini car in March .
