Wow - I can't believe how empty you're all leaving the Clubhouse. Is that nice during the holidays? Yep - you'd rather be Motoring anyway.

Great work you guys. You've got your MINImachines for the New Year. What a great way to start '03!

Some of you have been hangin' around the Club for a long time. It's great to see you go!

Congratulations and have a BLAST!! Now work on your mods. I installed my skid plate today. You'll do the same - trust me!

Congrats to all December Clubbers, especially those who just barely kept out of the January Club! Billyg, BrunoV, SkAlex, and DB, you made it by the hair on your chinny chin chins!

DB, I've been keeping an eye on your blog and was hoping you'd get everything in order for a pre-New Year's delivery. I'm especially happy that you and Roxy have been united.

VAMini, glad to hear you are next with pick-up scheduled for tomorrow. So does that leave MotorinGirl alone in the Clubhouse?

congrats dbwilldo......good luck to ya

thank you everybody!

The car is awesome, already put 100 miles on her. Pics tomorrow!

Ugh... Just when I thought my pick-up was in the bag.... Got a call last night from the guys doing the aftermarket leather install and it seems they cut their pattern from that of the STANDARD seats, and the covers just won't fit my SPORT seats. Go figure...

So looks like I'll be hanging out here for a week or two more while they rectify the problem.

Hmmm... wonder what's left in the refrigerator....

How did you fit everybody into the December Clubhouse?

I know you're rapidly vacating the joint - but what a great feat - over 7,000 page views! That's amazing.

Hey January Clubbers - remember the November Challenge? You guys are in for 8,000 page views. Or you forfeit your MINIs!!!!

Hey Rygold
Are you upping the January clubbers challenge on us? You had originally challenged the January clubbers with 7,000.

I wasn't able to get pics today...the camera was busy and couldn't be disturbed. And yes, so far I have taken the Ortega 2 days, but got stuck behind pokey drivers! I'm thinking about a new years morning bombing run to starbucks in Capistrano...anyone else?

ahhhh If I only had my mini!

Hey jbs111:

You're right - my mistake - too much New Years' Cheer I guess!!

The Challenge was:

December Club: 6,000 page views (DONE with Flying MINI Colors!)
January Club: 7,000 page views
February Club: 8,000 page views.

But - something tells me the January Club will hit 8,000 anyway. It's amazing the number on the December Club - so you guys'll have an EASY time of it!

Happy MINI New Year!

is there anyone left? If not, I can go ahead and get the lights....

geez I almost forgot...do be sure that, after you take delivery, you take a few minutes to rate your dealer. It's helpful to those who are still at that level of MINIac-ness, and as we all know by now, you can never have enough information!
