Hello to all-

Just waiting for our new Clubman, maintenance in the Panama Canal will add 3-4 days of transit. As the Penguins say, 'Now that sucks'.

Silly question, how does one join the Hot Chocolate Club?

Any other folks going to AMVIV6 in March? They are talking 600 Mini's!

Best to all!

 

Congratulations on your soon to be new arrival !! I just got back from a business trip in Vegas, made two excursions to Zion for hiking and picture taking. What a beautiful place! Can't wait to drive out there someday in my MINI.

I think once you finally own a Hot Chocolate then you are in the Hot Chocolate Club! Honorary member by default so to speak. Look forward to seeing pics of your new baby.

Drove a ton of miles around Vegas and to and from Zion twice, saw only two MINIs the whole week. Will look for your Clubby next time out there. Welcome aboard!

 

There is some beautiful country around here, and perfect for a Mini! The drive thru Zion, Cedar Breaks, Bryce and other will make your heart go whoopee!

I think there is only 3-5 Mini's around here.

Thanks again.

 

Hey welcome utahdawg! You will have to get some pictures posted once it comes in. Until then enjoy the great people and conversations here on NAM!

 

Thanks so much! This really is the most active, informative and friendliest forum on line!

Hopefully I can up so pics in about 3 weeks.

 

Welcome, nice to see a Clubman over in Utah.

Don't forget we have a very active club over here in Colorado, MINI5280. MITM 4 is coming in August. Check out our club area for what is scheduled.

Some of us may be going out to LV again. Depends on how the schedule works, since we have 2 big Spring runs in the planning.

Post some pictures when you get the MINI. What dealer did you use?

 

I have checked out your Mini in the Mountains, what a setting! I have lived in Colorado Springs and Grand Junction, very fond memories of Colorado. And that drive up the Colorado River from Collbran to Eagle is made for the Mini!

Will definitely post some pics.

We worked thru Mini of Murray in SLC, UT. Kat (Kathleen Arghittu) was our MA and she is top drawer. Quick emails, great on site visit and so knowledgeable. We took a test drive and she is the first person to tell me to really use the gas when entering the freeway. My wife tapped my shoulder and said 'You are going 90 mph." I checked and had to correct her, it was over 92. When it came time to exit the freeway Kat said don't use the brakes, the Mini drove like it was on rails! We ordered that very day!

Thanks for the welcome!

 

Welcome to NAM from Middle Georgia Minis!! My Sister lives in Ivins and I
want to make a trip out there to see the beautiful country see raves about.
Hope you have many trouble free miles and many new adventures along the way. A close friend has a H/C Clubman and he loves it.

 

It is indeed a small world! Hope you can make it out, your sister is right, the scenery is to die for! Lots of red rocks, open desert, pine covered mountains - all within 40 minutes or less! When you come out send me a note and we will do a Mini tour!

Chuck

 

Congrats and Welcome from North Carolina.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome!

By the way, where did you get the cute signature graphic?

The Tristan, carrying out Clubman, is still waiting at Colon for transit!
