Didn't you get the memo on the quota of mods needed to stay in the club?

HARLEY: I was unaware of my exalted status at Dennys; thanks for the info.

A cult? No, just shave your head, and dye your eyebrows the color of your car. ;-)

Sorry, the R 53, R 56 etc.
The "R" in your name is probably interesting as well.

Ohhhhhhhhhh THAT R !

Yeah, that can be confusing for Newbs. It took me 8 months to memorize those. Now I'm going to try to remember all the colors and for which models they were/are available.

It's too late for you now. We are not a cult. We are a collective.
You have been assimilated.

We have one called Fontana Village.[/quote]


You should visit the NAM compound once a year (for MOTD) in early May to maintain your faith in the Mini, chariot of the twisties. Then to show your true dedication to Mini-ism, journey to Copper Mountain, Colorado (for MITM) mid August. If your faith in TS (twisty superiority) becomes weak after the winter months, drive thy Mini to Vegas.

For the utmost in your Mini spiritual journey, you can come to Colorado & join our sub-cult, mini5280.org, & thereby becoming one of the Mini Elect, aka: The Chosen Few of John Cooper (CFJC). Where mountain driving up hill in every direction on twisty roads seperates the CFJC from CORN (Cooper Owners of Rural Nebraska, aka: Flatlanders) that drive flat straight roads w/variety of width through farms & feed-lots.

(Just teasing Jim! aka: the Kernal of CORN)
