I just had to share! I ordered my next car on last Saturday. Picked up a '09 MINI Cooper. Lightning Blue with the white roof and stripes, sport seats, fog lights, etc.

I just called 866-askMINI and my car is scheduled to complete production on 9/16/08!

It's going to seem like an eternity until it shows up for me to take home....

very cool, you will have to give us updates as your ownership progresses. this is one of the cars i contemplate purchasing when i graduate as a "welcome to the real world" present to myself.

Congrats!!!

I don't know if it's still possible, but on the MINI sites, they figured out how to go as far as tracking the boats as they crossed the Atlantic.

Welcome to the club. You're right, it will feel like an eternity, but will be well worth the wait!

can you take delivery at the BMW performance center in Greer SC? it's a cool facility with some neat perks for a new car purchase.

Cool, you'll like it.

Did you get an "S" or Justa Cooper?

Awesome buy! They're fantastic cars. I know you'll be excited when you get it home finally!

I planned on getting a new Sky Roadster when I graduated. Same deal - welcome to the real world. Then I awoke in the real world and realized that I had to pay for student loans.
