GOT MY PRODUCTION NUMBER!!!!

I called MINI in the Hamptons today and talked with Jerry. I told him that I had some changes to make to my order - he said, "No problem." He gave me my production number (so excited to log online to see the status of the car). Then he said he'd look up my production week to be able to determine about when the car will arrive in the US. He got quiet and said, "This can't be right!"

He said, "Your production week is 28." I wondered what's wrong with that... well production week 28 is THIS WEEK!!! Turns out they placed my order on July 5th and for whatever reason, they've scheduled my car for creation this week!

NOW - the problem is, Do I still have time for my changes? I hurried an email to him saying that I wanted the following:

1 - add exterior chrome package
2 - add interior chrome package
3 - change dash trim to brushed alloy
4 - YES - change the color to Sparkling Silver body / Top and black rear posts

He said he thought they could get the changes in, but would know tomorrow.

I'm guessing if they can't make the changes, I'll just opt for a later build maybe?

Anyway, I'll be posting the status changes that the MINI will go thru - and it's time to start deciding on a name! Any suggestions?
