Hey guys, I may not have time for a drive right now, but I want to have everyone out to the Brentwood Moe's for a lunch on me! Can you guys help me get 15-20 folks out for that?

I thought that we'd arrive at 11:00 so it does not get crowded, and then eat, visit, look at all the MINIs parked together in the lot, get the community a bit stronger, talk up NAM and the other Nashville MINI Club website (which I'm looking for at the moment and can't remember the name...)

edit - found it: http://www.midtnminis.com/

I would look to do it on an upcoming Thursday in October....

Thoughts?

Hi Scott-
I'm good for Thursdays at 11:00- I usually go to town that day anyway. This sounds wonderful and Thank You, in advance, for lunch-
Can't wait to meet all the Mini Drivers in the area - altho I probably won't have my Clubbie yet. Waiting... ho hum... waiting-
So seeing all the other Minis in one place will give certainly get me jazzed!
Thanks again-
Vivi

MINI Lunch @ Moe's

Ok, let's have a MINI lunch!

I'm feeding all MINI owners at

Moe's Southwest Grill, 101 Creekside Crossing, by Publix and Andrews Range Rover in Brentwood, TN on

TUESDAY, OCT 7, 2008 AT 11 AM.

Sorry, Vivi, couldn't swing an upcoming Thursday. Hope you can still make it.

Please post if you can make it.

Hmm. That is awesome! I work on Thursdays though and if I come I won't be able to stay for long. It would be nice seeing all the different Minis in the area though. Thanks for putting this together!!

Hi Scott-
No prob. I can do Tuesday 10/7 at 11 am. Still won't have my Clubbie yet, so I hope you, & everyone else, don't mind if I drool excessively over your MINI (better make sure there are lots of napkins available, LOL).
Thank you Scott- this is MIGHTY nice of you!

Wish I could make it.....

Unfortunately I have to work on Thursdays. I only get a half an hour for lunch and trying to make it there and back from Tullahoma is a bit of a stretch.

Maybe sometime on a Saturday or Sunday I could make it. Love to meet up with other MINI owners.

By the way - I used to live in McMinnville - just around the corner! Can't say I miss it.

Stan, that's too bad. Cancel the meeting. We are talking Moe's!!!

Perhaps we can meet in Murfreesboro the next time - I've got a Moe's there too. We can drive down Hwy 96 from the Franklin area - that's a fairly fun road.

Food is on me this time! I own the Moe's in the area, and want to get the Nashville MINI group more enthusiastic and together.

Hi Scott,
I sent John a pm with your request. The website doesn't look like it's had much use- so...
Just thought I'd give you the heads up

Would it be ok if my husband joins us? I think he'll eventually be a MINI Widower... (eww.. that doesn't sound right- I mean he's going to lose me to all things MINI, LOL). He has clients in the Brentwood area (he's a network/internet/web consultant) and is often in that area...

Please let me know & I can't guarrentee he'll be able to join us but he's a car guy and would love to get to know MINI owners...
Vivi

Vivi, Yes, I noticed the site was a bit, er, quiet. I'm trying to get a Nashville & Middle TN MINI Thread on NAM started. I'll whip this bunch into shape yet (along with help from everyone who is already here from Nashville)!

Of course, please bring your husband. It will be fun to have more car enthusiasts there.

We may not have too many this first time, but we will keep trying.

You da Man, Scott! I think JoMo and Richey will be coming from the dealership- Justin is off getting married, so he won't make it (he's getting married in Jamaica, I think we can give him a bit of slack there!).
I would love to see a middle TN club thread here- and more activity in Middle TN. JoMo did mention that some of them (Nashville Mini club) met at Loveless about a month ago and then did the Trace. I know there a quite a lot of GREAT roads out that way-
Thanks for letting David come- He thinks I'm a bit nutty seeing as I don't even have my car yet
TTFN- Vivi
