ME AND MY BIG IDEAS
I ordered a Clubman in Oct, 07 but put a hold on it hoping for the JCW Clubman. Since it was too far into the future , I put my order through. I have been talking and interneting MINIs for months. My wife thought they were weird little cars. My HC Clubman S is now in the middle of the Atlantic on its way here. Last Friday night Otto's MINI had an open house for the Clubman. I took my wife along and thought that after 1/2 hour she would want to leave. 2 1/2 hours later I had to drag her out of the showroom and now there is no holding her back. She is picking up an S Coupe CR/B with all the options this weekend and mine will still not be in the port!!!

Now she wants a Borla exhaust---what am I going to do?

ANOTHER Multi-MINI Family on NAM. Wonder how many that makes now...

Gotta be close at least 50 of us.

Congrats to you and the Mrs, Jeff. That'll be quite a pair of MINIs.

No! You took her to the car show, take some responsibility...

PS Look at the bright side - she had great taste!

You do from me. I am sorry, man. You will now have to go without. I thought it was a good idea when I did it. Now I am always second in line for mods. It really, really sucks.
