Congratulations to the December Club! They surpassed the "November Challenge" (5,000+ page views) and have had more than 6,000 page views of their Club thread.

The January Club has accepted the challenge and is aiming for 7,000. That means 8,000 for February and 9,000 for March.

This is achievable as the MCO membership continues to rise, as do the number of MINIs on order.

Let's help these guys out, all past Club members, and MINI owners. Check out their threads, read the posts and offer words of advice and encouragement to make their wait (somewhat) more tolerable.

We've all been there. The wait sucks, for sure, but the Clubs make it easier. Oh yeah, it's easy!

Let's help 'em out. Add your 2 cents worth to the Club threads. Especially when we see June, July and August show up. And you know they will!!

I only found this website after I took delivery of my MINI in July, so I suffered alone. But it was for only 12 weeks. But during that time, I thought I was going to burst, I was so impatient. I totally understand the waiting.

In my day, there wasn't even an Internet, so we had to wait...outside, in the snow, uphill both ways!

And we couldn't even wear any shoes!!!!! Because we only had one shoe! And we all had to share it! On the days when you didn't get the shoe you tied old newspapers around your feet to keep warm....and YOU LIVED WITH IT!

There's something just a bit frightening about naming a vehicle after a people notable for their love of human sacrifice.

Of course, in my day, we had to climb stone pyramids to get sacrificed...and we loved it!
