FIND A LOCAL MOTORING BUDDY BY ZIP CODE

[Striped Toad]

Done.. and done

[x uh oh x]

This is a great tool! Thanks!

[AstroBlackS]

It's soo neat to look back at this and see how many people you still know. It's sort of a Mini year book.

[ngweibing]

no one near me..

Port Saint Lucie, Florida here!!!

It worked in finding 23 MINI enthusiasts but the latest Mini was from 2006. I can't believe there aren't others.
I used Flickr -- a link I found on PhillyMini.org. They had "pins" on a map for all the owners in the area.

But this is a great idea!

I've let the app slide--I haven't been maintaining it--I especially haven't done anything since the R56's came out.

There once seemed to be a lot of interest in joining people together, but the tool has had mixed results (with getting people to sign up). Guess the clubs do a fine job already.

Thanks for the feedback.

I did mean it as a compliment -- I thought the app was good. Anything to get us Mini drivers together.

Thanks for your efforts!

Booo only 3 other people within a 10 miles radius of me. I figured there would be way more since I'm in the Bay Area.

Oh, there are probably LOTS more people...not everybody finds this thread.... Have you found your local motoring club yet? You might want to check them out - makes zooming around a lot more fun.

There's a "club" forum on the "forums" site:
http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...nal-forums-98/

Looks like you have two choices for the big clubs, but you can probably find more (smaller? more local?) clubs by going to events...:
Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts
Northern California's fastest growing and most active Mini-MINI club

REME was founded in October, 2004 with just three cars; two MINIs and one classic Mini. Although originally intended to serve the North Bay Area region of Northern California; Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts now has regional chapters in Redding, Sacramento, and the East & South Bay Area. Additional chapters are planned as our membership continues to expand.

We are best described as a social touring club. Monthly day runs often exceed 150 miles and include at least one meal. Regional chapters host dinner socials and smaller regional runs. We generally have 2-3 multi-day events planned each year attracting participation from members throughout California, Nevada, and Oregon.

or
Norcal Minis

We are a club based in Northern California with members from Monterey to Mendocino. We get together at least once a month for runs and soial gatherings. Wecruise at a touring pace and save the high speeds for track days. Come along for a ride you don't have to be a member. Need more info ? Call us on the club cell 510-881-3456

ORRRRR you could PM the guy with the username MichaelSF - he's in the bay area somewhere, too and may know of a local club.

[Rrrrrrrrrafique]

hey - have you considered making the db canadian postal code friendly? :D

[R53 Speed]

Do you know if Louisville/ky is registered with this? I live there and it would be nice to find someone to motor with here. Someone to show/teach me a few things in person - that would be great.

[MacLeod]

This is awesome, OctaneGuy! There are six fellow (registered) Motorists near me!!! I love it!
