My dad bought me my original MINI for my first car (after I pulled a 3.0 my freshman year of college ). Definitely "Best Dad" award winning gift

Welcome to the club -
Lucky girl!!!
LobsterMINI is gorgeous.
That's a great color combo and a great name too.
Definitely "Dad of the Year" award to you.

I see that you are from NC.
Any chance that you and your daughter can come to MOTD?

Info here:

8th Annual MINIs on the Dragon (April 28th - May 2nd 2010)

and the official site and registration:

MINIs ON The Dragon

It will be my first MOTD, only having had Little Wing since August.
It should be lots of fun!
I understand that some 400 MINIs are expected to attend.

I am planning on learning a lot about MINIs from the MINIacs and experts there.

My dad is a pretty cool dad. When I totaled my '04 MCs in CA last year (luckily I walked away without a bruise or scratch) my dad sent me his '07 MCs (my lobster ) and he bought himself an '09 MCs with some bells and whistles. Go figure that one out!

As for MINIs ON The Dragon- I really REALLY want to go, but Charlotte is 6 hours away from my boyfriend and me and we would miss out on driving on the Dragon I'm hoping that I'll be able to drive out there next year, but it will be just me because (assuming things go as planned) he will be deployed.

Do you, or anyone really, know of any MINI things going on in Southeast NC?

I'm glad that you weren't hurt in your accident.
Your dad really is awesome - you totaled a mini and he gave you another one?
I see the method in his madness.
It sounds like he came out ok in the deal too.
I am sorry that you won't be at MOTD this year.

Sorry, I don't know about other events.
I am in FL and am new to MINIland, having just had my MINI since August.
There is a forum for regional clubs here on NAM.

I hope that helps.

I'm from Jacksonville, but live in Tallahassee.
I love St. Augustine!
I rarely get down to Fort Lauderdale/Miami.
