Hello from Ottawa

Just wanted to drop in a quick note to say Hi to everyone. I'm picking up my first Mini this afternoon and I am absolute psyched about it. I've been a VW enthusiast for some time and but I know I'll be switching over. I'm really glad I found this forum and look forward to chatting it up with you guys.

Welcome to NAM from another member who spends most of his time these days in Ottawa! Check out pics of my car in my gallery. I've got a pretty modded miata and recently picked up a 2006 MCS JCW Competition Edition. There is a local club as well, website is:

http://www.ottawaminiclub.ca/

I love veedubs and used to have a 2002 GTI 1.8T (pic of that also in my gallery). Send me a PM if you want to meet up and talk cars or go for a drive! You're going to love owning a mini!

Hey thanks for the welcome! Nice looking MCS. I've been lurking the Ottawa Mini Club for a few weeks now. Haven't posted or even registered yet.

I picked up my Mini yesterday. What a blast to drive. I can't wait for the warmer weather and cleaner roads. I can definitely see myself becoming a Mini enthusiast. But yeah we should hook up sometime and go for a drive.

It would be great to see you folks on April 2nd at the next Ottawa Mini Club meeting. Who knows the snow may be gone and we can actually drive our cars to Montana's.
There will be information available on upcoming events.

Cheers.

Now I'm jealous! I just ordered my MINI today...I'm a really impatient person, too. But I hope you can take all afternoon to drive your MINI around!

Thanks sickboy! Glad you are digging your new mini!

Yes, should definitely meet and should also meet with the club too! I'm in SW Ontario as I write this but coming back to Ottawa again next week.

Greetings and congrats from the We(s)t Coast. The good thing about rain is you don't have to shovel it ! Too bad about all the snow, but you did steal our Indian summer last year !
