Hi - I was in the March club but I can't seem to get any updates on the Libra Leader and the latest March update didn't even have me on the list
My MINI is due in late March/early April. Hopefully it's O.K. to post in the April club.

welcome Lou and squigi!

I'd say that this thread is the only thing keeping me sane while waiting for my car, but, well.. it was too late for that a long time ago!

Have you seen that VW ad with the guy sitting in the car on the assembly line? I can't really laugh at it, since I know how he feels all too well

So what's the story on your cars? I see what they are from the sig lines and how some of yours have a bit of an identity crisis (Mini One comes to mind), but what other names and quirks can you think of to share with us (this) desparate folk?

Louie only has 125 miles on him so far. And so far so good! He's a joy to drive. I don't want to get out of him long enough to do anything else. I also got the standard stereo system but does it sound GOOD!!! Having trouble keeping the RPMs below 4500. Have to keep reminding myself not to drive him like the Miata yet. Ahh! Ask RAT,I am a girly car lover. My other car is a red 97 Miata. Oh,BTW, I am a girly

Hi Squigi! Welcome to the April Club. Although you'll be among a handful to graduate early, it's no mind to us! We're here just to pass the time and have some fun doin' it I already included you in the

CWFAC webpage so check out your MINI!

A few of 'the usual' questions: What dealership did you go thru, what town is home for you, and what car is your MINI replacing?

Cheers,
Ryan
