GBMINI#3

MINI USA owners lounge today updated the status of GBMINI#3 to “awaiting transport”:

GBMINI#3 awaiting transport

Of course we know better; and 1-866-ASK-MINI confirms “Your vehicle’s in transit” …

So when I called 1-866-ASK-MINI this morning, the message stated “vehicle production complete”.
Since I entered the order details in the (US east coast) afternoon of February 2nd, when it was already night at the MINI factory, it means that only about two weeks passed from order to built!

Now for fun, I visited the Wallenius Wilhelmsen tracking website this evening and entered GBMINI#3 VIN and what do I see:

The Tancred that is bringing GBMINI#3 to USA

According to WW, GBMINI#3 is already loaded on the TANCRED (picture from Ship Photos) ready to be brought over to USA!

Does it get any better?!
1-866-ASK-MINI this morning tells me “Your vehicle production is complete, and is waiting to be released to the carrier”

MINI USA online still shows “scheduled for production” …
