Is That You, nimnu?

Thanks again for the great "MINI United" photos you posted in MINIUSA.

Still wondering where the heck you were standing to get those amazing shots
of the stunt driving; - are you sure you were allowed to be there?
I was over on the left side behind three rows of people - all taller than I.
I could hear the engines -
and I could smell the tires -
but, I didn't see a thing till I saw your pictures.

we got their 20 minutes early and got to stand in the front leaning on the fence! it was awesome. there was a sign right next to us that said stand at your own risk...
One of the times he was up on 2 wheels i wasn't sure he was going to make the turn [my camera has no zoom lens, btw!] i tried to step back but the crowd wouldn't budge.

it was a really awesome time. so glad i went.

MINIs on Two Wheels

[quote=nimnu;2799677] [my camera has no zoom lens, btw!]

Now I'm really impressed! I thought you'd say you used a big tripod
and zoomed your great long lens out to the max.

But, Hey, Lady - all I can say now is,
"Caution - Cars in finder are closer than they appear!"

New to NAM

Hey everyone. I'm new here. Finally saw my first Mini gathering near my house and they invited me to check this out. I've been on the owners lounge a bit. I'm hoping that this will end up being a lot of fun and we can really get involved with other Mini owners who LOVE to MOTOR!
Anyone in the Central Ohio area would be nice to meet up sometime.

Thanks
-Mike and Thu

Hello, all. I'm new here also. I own a silver 02 cooper hardtop with a black roof and black bonnet stripes. I'm hoping to meet other MINI owners and to learn a lot through these forums.

Top of the morning, motoring enthusiasts.

I'm going to be purchasing a MINI in the next week or so, and thought I'd get a head start on getting to know the car and other MINI drivers here.

Greetings

Good Morning NAM and community, I am a very happy first-time new Mini S owner. My car's name is LoLa, she is pepper white, black top with sunroofs. Black bold stripes on the bonnet and boot and tan leather interior are very sharp and welcoming. This car is more like a long lost friend to me and my aging black lab. She can easily load up in the back and her sheepskin is spread over the whole back of the car. We are in motoring heaven!

Happy Saturday All!! It is definitely a happy Saturday for me as I am the proud MINI Mama to a 2009 Chili Red/Black Cooper! I don't know that I am going to be able to wait until Friday to pick him up, but I have no choice, I suppose LOL I will be poking around the forums to get some assistance in coming up with a campy license plate. So glad to be a part of the MINI lifestyle
Kathleen in NH

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for a while, but this is my first official post. I don't own a Mini yet, but my plan is to order a black MCS with the sport suspension and LSD shortly. I plan to autocross the car in G stock with my local SCCA chapter. Right now I'm getting my butt kicked locally by a MCS, so I figure if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

About to be a Mini owner from San Diego, CA

About to be the proud owner of a MINI Cooper S Convertible - Chilli Red. Car is on the ship and should be at the dealer in 2 weeks.

Meanwhile, perfectly sunny days are being wasted out here !

Have been lurking in these forums while making a decision and it has been very helpful.

Hi All,
I live in NW Georgia and it seems Minis are still quite rare to my area. However, if there's a Mini Club that I can join near enough to me, I'd love to hear about it/you.
Kindly give me some info. about a club....thanx and zoom zoom.........

Hello NAM!!

I've had my '09 MCS convertible for about two months. I love it! I've already got the itch to start modifying it... make it faster
I went from a lifted Jeep Wrangler to this little thing. It's like night and day.

Anyway... Hello

Hello everyone,

I've been reading the forums for a while now getting a lot of good ideas and information on minis. I'm in the process of configuring/purchasing one and this site has been a great help! I'll keep everyone posted on how things turn out!
