    carboman and yellowbritishrocket,

    Congratulations on your pending deliveries! I just read the entire thread and enjoyed reading your updates. You can feel the excitement building from page to page.

    I'm behind you guys. I ordered on August 17th. ASK MINI has my Roadster S starting production this week - the ASK MINI rep believes it will complete production by September 10th. Then from England to Baltimore. Our dealership is less than 2 hours by car from the port.

    I'm not sure when I should realistically expect delivery. Based on your collective experience, what do you think?

    Figure about 3 weeks after production is complete to receive your new Mini. So, you should have it by the end of the month assuming the timing on a ship works in your favor.

    Mine is on the boat too. Thinking of going to the port on the 18th and waving to it as it comes off the boat. :D

    My Roadster S began production in Oxford today at 7:55 AM British Summer Time (BST). I think that takes about a week. Then it must ship from England to Baltimore. My Virginia dealership is about one hour away.

    My ETA is ....

    From what I've seen it's roughly 5-6 days in production then off to the port, on a ship for about 2 weeks then through a port in a day or two. A lot of it has to do with timing on the boat.

    it seems to be about a week solid from initial start to off the assembly line into QA then waiting for transport...not sure if they ship em by train or by truck to the port...then its a matter of waiting in line for a boat
