I am amazed at the wait times for your Jukes in the UK! Custom-built MINIs only take 2 months from the date of order. There simply aren't that many permutations for the Juke.
It must truly be selling beyond anyone's expectations in the UK for orders to be that backlogged! I have heard that ours (in North America) all come from Japan though. Perhaps that makes a slight difference? I know that awareness of this car is feeble in this country at this point (they only just went on sale last month), so maybe demand will build and then we too will have months-long backlogs.
I bought mine yesterday, and they're having me believe that I'll have it this week! Granted I had to give them a selection of color choices, and I still don't know which I'll get, but I've decided not to care (I'm a mature boy! LOL!!!!!). Besides, I only gave them the choice of Black, White, Red or Gun Metallic, so I can't go too far wrong with whichever I get, but I do still have veto power, depending on how long I'm willing to hold out to get ... red

We shall soon see.
