Yeah! Another CWFC!

Since I launched the First Can't Wait For Club last September (as we waited impatiently for November) there have been 3 trillion page views on MCO from Club members, lurkers and guests.

And milliions of posts!

The tradition continues, making MCO the place to wait-it-out. You'll be glad you did.

Watch out for the rubble and left-overs on the rug. And don't sleep on the couch!

Have a great Club! We're all watching.

Good job, Oilman930. You're IT!

OilMan: Wow - you first posted here on MCO about starting a MINI enthusiast club in Eastern PA quite a long time ago - I'm surprised to hear that you are just getting ready to place an order!!

I could have ordered a car months ago,but I wanted to wait,at least past the first model year.Looks like it was worth the wait,because the quality of the car does appear to be getting better and better.

As for the Eastern Pennsylvania Mini Club,looks like I am going to have to get it going on my own.

w00t! Finally the May club arrives! (Didn't start it myself, as I figured I spend enough time on these boards as is...). I made my deposit 12/31/02 and am looking at a mid-late May delivery for mine. (Figured I should exercise patience and restraint in order to get MSRP -- paid over for my S2000, and now my wallet needs relief).

Cheers,
Dave

Oilman930,

As the initiator of the CWFMayC, may you consider being its "keeper of the list"? It is a task reviewed daily by all, but accepted by only a few - ask Ryephile, keeper of the list for CWFAC.

As the keeper of the March List, I second this motion! Great fun, passes the time, and provides a valuable service to all those waiting beside you.

OK May Clubbers - get with the program:

MOTOR your MINI - join us at An Amazing MINImeet!

Think about it - by the time September rolls around your MINIs will have 1,000s of miles on 'em!

That's exactly to do it! Keep the May Club (1) front and center. Who's the wannabe that started a 2nd May Club? You'd better bump them gonzos!!

Sorry...
that was me that made the other posting....I didn't know that a May Club already existed. I looked back a bunch of pages to see if I could find one.....must have missed it somehow.
Just excited because we ordered our Mini yesterday and was told that we would take delivery in that month.

my apologies for overstepping my bounds.

Hi! I don't know which month to post in...I ordered my 2003 "S" in early December, 2002. I ordered a BRG with a black top and the two main packages. I called the dealer at the end of January to see if there was any information about "build" and he said to call back at the end of February and all I can do is keep looking at the phone/calendar and trying to be patient. Does my dealers allocation have any bearing on when I can expect to get some info?

Hate to be critical (not even a memeber of this club I hope) But you folks need to get recruting. How many of you are there what are you ordering Come on MAY the closer you get the more likely my S will already be here. Good luck stay close together and help eachother through this difficult time.
Bob

Just got a call from the dealer to verify my order, and got the fax to that shows I'm in the queue! w00t! Now the countdown to delivery begins... (Placed deposit 12/31/02, so should amount to ~5mo. wait).

Anybody else get order confirmation yet?

Cheers,
Dave

I have updated the Ultimate MINI Users Guide if you would like to take a look at it.


It has pretty much everything you need to know before and after you own your MINI.

I started this club,and now I am an official member of it.I ordered my car today(Feb 21st)and the order was put in the computer while I waited.I had the production number when I left the building.The production number is 3741578 with a est production date of 2003/04.The car should be delivered by sometime in May.I ordered a Mini Cooper(non S)with the Premium and Sport package.I also added the Sports Suspension Plus and the Sport Steering Wheel from the S.Oh yeah the colour,Chili Red with Black roof and mirrors.I'm still debating the black roof.I might call the dealership on Monday to change it to the body colour.
