New Member Intro

Hi everyone,

We just bought a Mini Cooper Clubman, British Racing Green w/black roof, mirrors and - going on next week - bonnet stripes. I’m calling it The Green Lantern, in honor of my comic book-loving friend who first dragged me to a national car show back before Minis were even in production because he KNEW it was the car for me. Indeed, it was love at first sight, and I’ve been Jones-ing for one ever since.

Obi-Mom Kenobi
(with husband, Dad Windu - & nearly 16 year old, Padawan Learner – who will not touch The Green Lantern’s clutch until he gets a few more miles under his belt driving the old-slow-mobile)

Welcome Obi-Mom! The force will be strong on your new clubman! (especially due to the color selection)

So jealous!! I really wanted to order a BRG clubbie but ended up getting a good deal on the chili red (which I actually do like too)
