MINI Update!
So, remember THIS POST I shared with you back in April? I have been not-so-patiently waiting for June to arrive, to get info on when m’ Lady Godiva would be built. I’ve been calling MINI customer service weekly, getting updates.
A couple weeks ago I called them, and they mentioned that it appeared production was getting moved up. They said it looked like my car would be built the week of 5/27. (this week!). Well, imagine my surprise when I called last week, and they happily informed me that my baby was born on 5/20!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is *three weeks* earlier than originally scheduled!
So, she will be finished today, 5/28, and then I will be able to track her coming across “the pond”. They say it takes 2-3 weeks for the trip, which means I will have her by the end of June…in time for my birthday July 2nd!!! ![]()
Honestly, I can barely contain my excitement. It’s surreal to me that I am actually getting my dream car, and will be driving her within a month! Every time I think about it, I start bouncing and giggling like a kid at Christmas! ![]()
Thanks for sharing in my excitement with me! Some of you have asked about the progress, so I thought I’d post it for everyone. Thanks for stopping by!!








Congratulations! Can’t wait to see you with your new baby!

You will LOVE your new baby even more once she arrives. My hubbie surprised me with an S Convertible on Christmas morning ‘04. The grin still hasn’t left my face!
I remember how excited I was to get my Mini! I’d been patiently awaiting their production and almost ran to the dealer when I heard I could order one. When we went to get her I was so excited, it was like Christmas morning!! I’ve loved every minute with my Mini and I hope you love yours just as much!

Yipppeeeee!!! Big congrats on this wonderful news! What a fantastic birthday present! Bill and I keep looking for a Clubman out on the road, but haven’t spotted one yet. Be sure to post a photo of you sitting in it. Linda
Congrats!!! It’s so cool to know a vehicle is being built JUST FOR YOU!! We did it last fall, not across the “pond” but here in the states. A pretty new Buick Cocoa Metallic Enclave for us. Love it! Enjoy your new wheels!!!
Your new baby rocks!! I never knew you could order a chocolate mini???!!! How cool.
