Hey ya'll. Just a quick note to say hey there and introduce myself.

I'm Dean, owner of Sting. '05 LY/B MCS, (October build). Black bonnet and boot stripes. Pilo Racing CAI. 35% tint, Prem/Sport Aux input.

My wife and I ordered Sting on 9/11 picked him up 10/26. She's gotten to drive him once, (she has "Turtle" an '04 Prius).

I'm a graphic designer by trade and own a business that makes CDs/DVDs for companies.

We are based in LaGrange, GA, (hour south of Atlanta if you drive (Turtle", only 40 if by Sting).

3 Kids, 2 Labs, (black) 3 cats, (don't blame me, I just feed'em).

I've been lurking on this and other boards long before I ordered Sting. I wanted to make sure he was a car worht the wait. Boy is he ever.

 

Welcome Duncan! Be sure to check out the National Events and other Forums and read about the upcoming MINIs On The Dragon Meet, May 5-9! Lots of fun MINI folk are in GA that you could caravan with!

Are you talking about the kids, the labs, the cats, or all of the above?!

Kidding, of course. Welcome - post some pics (of your car - if wanted to see pet pics I'd be over at dpreview.com's forums!).

 

My wife and I met up with the Atlanta Mini group last weekend at 5 Seasons Brewery.
About 80 people, 40 minis and a great time was to be had by all.

During the meet, my wife heard about the Dragon Run '05. She asked me if I wanted to go . Of course, I said a resounding "YES".
She asked how many Minis would be there. I told her about 150-300 from all over the South East US would be there that weekend. She seemed pretty excited about that.

About the kids, dogs and cats... The statement I made sums it up for me. The kids are teenagers and are pretty much spoiled rotten. Come to think of it, so are the cats and dogs.
