Just an open post to all of you who've joined The League of Extraordinary MINIacs...

Thanks for you participation! Your positive response to this has made The League a reality and hopefully a staple here on NAM and on the roads around the world!

Also a very big "Thank You" to all of you for posting up those pics of all the many extraordinary MINIs/Mini`s... They all look so great and we love them... yes we do!

Additionally a big thank you to Braminator, Mr. T. and Cooperation for all the hard work in making The League of Extraordinary MINIacs a reality!

Let's keep it up and make The League one of the biggest clubs around!

Save the wave & Motor On... The road beckons!

I signed up on the FB page. My wife rolled her eyes as I took the oath (typical). Today, 5 waves, one nod, one returned.

On a semi-related note, I keep thinking of the Armour All commercial guy with the Viking helmet and loincloth saying, "YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS CAR!" It's now my standard reply when I don't get a response.

Picture below

Of course, can't post pix yet, because my Mini hasn't been born yet. But they'll be posted as soon after arrival as possible.

Welcome to the League. I look forward to seeing your MINI and I can not wait to hear how your face hurts after driving it from the constant smiling.

Welcome to the League. I was unable to open the picture. But you did take the oath, so you are now a member. Join us on FB if you can also.

WooHoo!

Yay! Thanks for the welcome and the picture! I will admit that I did *gasp* fail to wave at a MINI the 2nd day I was driving Scarlet...

I was unused to people waving since I had a boring gray Mitzu Outlander Sport for the past 2 years... I shall NEVER do that again!
