HI Bill
when I was tracking the ship Late december and early January, I saw this happen to three vehicles. I don't have any idea why this happened though.

I needed to make just one more post here as this is where it all began. Pez was a 1/10 build and arrived in NYC on 1/17 as scheduled. For whatever reason she waited patiently for me at the VPC for a month (I didn't wait nearly so patiently). Yesterday I picked her up at MINI of Peabody in the wake of 27 inches of snow. (I had to shovel it all out of the driveway before I could pick her up!). So now I proudly introduce Pez, a Velvet Red and White Cooper and say I'M OUTTA THIS STINKIN' CLUB!

Congratulations, Binx! That is a very pretty MINI. The velvet red looks a lot like the Canyon Red on my '97 BMW 528.

Here's wishing you warm temps and dry pavement for future motoring.

BTW, I've posted a review of the MINI model roof flag set in the MCO Review section.

I've cleaned the fridge, vacuumed the floor, and even gotten those dust bunnies from under the sofa.

And may I just say that you have all been terrific club mates. Many thanks to you all for making this my first and last stop on every visit to MCO. You all helped keep me sane during the long wait for Agent Cooper to arrive. I hope that each of you enjoyed your time in the clubhouse as much as I have. And while the clubhouse is going to be closing it's doors, the January Club will never be gone. I hope that someday we will have the opportunity to meet in person and share our motoring stories. Until then, I'll see you around on MCO.

Before I lock up, I want to make sure I haven't left anyone behind. Anybody still lurking here? :smile:

rygold, I am so bummed that I won't make it to the meet. Hubby is competing in his first half-Ironman triathlon that weekend in Wisconsin. I even had the application printed and filled out when he reminded me of the date. I can't believe I'm going to miss out on going to the track and meeting the grand poobah of the clubbers!
