My Electric Blue S with Chili package, Hk audio, 17" s-lites (upgrade to 18"
and white roof and mirrors,
is delivered the 4th week of April 2003
After a delivery time of 9 months.
The Cooper S is a hard item to get here in Holland!!
The factory gives a total of 100 MCS to sell in Holland a year so you must be lucky when you finally
have one.

Alright - the launch of the "Can't Wait For April" Club! Congratulations. Over time this Club will have in excess of 8,000 page views. Guaranteed!
In Canada the wait is approx. 2 months (especially if you order an S). The wait in the U.S. is upwards of 5 months (it seems) depending on your coast, of if you're lucky enough to be in Hawaii! That's assuming you don't find what you want on the dealer's lot. With the choice of options, colours, etc, that seems to be unlikely.
This Club will help you wait-it-out, that's for sure. However, given the number of members who have gone through the Clubhouse since we first launched the November Club, I have to tell you, the Clubhouse is not a pretty site. However, somebody did just volunteer to clean the fridge, and get the lights!
It's almost April, right? 'Cause we need some members to volunteer for Spring Cleaning (oh - and rake the lawn, OK?).

Finally i can be part of a club! I put my deposit down at Irvine Mini the first week of August and will be getting my production number this upcoming week! Months of waiting for a production number will finally cease! Now an even more agonizing wait for my Mini to come in will begin! Oh well, i know it'll be worth it.

I cannot imagine the frustration of a 4-6 month wait. I walked into Mini of Towson in Maryland last Friday to look at the several new MCS's they have. Once I decided what I wanted, Barry looked at the list and said they had one of those coming in next week. Barry is great- ask for him. It arrived on Tuesday, and is now happily sleeping in my garage. If you are anywhere close to MD, check them out.

My S will be EB/W sport/cold weather Cruise auto wipers/mirrors Rally lights 6 disc changer
Deposit in August order will be end of this month. So I will fantasize that I am in the right club and it will come in early

Me! Me! Me! I'm in the april club! Yeah finally a club for us! Oh the pure joy and excitment! Sorry for all the exclamation points but I'm sure you all can understand!
Let's get this party going though for real!
I've followed the other clubs only very loosely, so I know there's a lot of info for us out there, but I'm not sure how we go about finding all of it.
I know we can count on rygold and others to help us out along the way(thanks guys).
So when do you get the production number/VIN? We need one of those to start loging into the owners lounge right?
wooo-hooo, I'm so excited!

In Canada we don't have access to the Owners' Lounge. That's why I launched the First Club (see the historic (!) first post here. to try and get info from my fellow MINIwaitees! Suddenly the thing snowballed. I guess that's expected, being in Canada, eh?
The January and February Clubs became extremely adept at getting info, and compiling amazing lists of owners, MINIs and build dates. It all seems to flow from there. Check their Club threads and you'll see how the lists come together and how they grow. The threads also contain info regarding where to get info!
So - Step Up To The Plate Time:
Who in the April Club will become the Official Keeper Of The List????

Hello fellow April clubbers!
My order is going in the beginning of February. Dealer (Motorwerks MINI/Minneapolis area) said to allow 8-10 weeks from order to delivery. That means I should be motoring by mid-April! Of course, I already consider myself a motorer, but it will be official in April :smile: . Should be a good time as winter weather will have passed (I hope), and I won't have to deal with salty roads eating away my MINI for several months.

Ryephile,
Since we are both from Michigan (Kalamazoo for me), I respectfully request you pick up the torch for the "CWFACers" and be the "keeper of the list". It has been a rewarding experience for me, not to mention a consoling past-time waiting for my MCS to get home.
Of course, there is a time commitment here. You are requried (not by law, but under personal obligations) to checdk this thread everyday and post updates. Missing one day would leave fellow CWFACers in the dark and confusion sets in. Not a good situation we would want to start as MCOers with MINIs here and there would loose focus and faith in fellow man.
Thanks,
SMKKVK
