Yeah, we're all pretty nice. Flashing your headlights when you see a fellow Mini driver on the road is common. If you see the actual Minnie Driver on the road, stop and give her a ride.

By the way, I just got my '05 DS/B MCS last month and I'm a little north of Indianapolis. I belong to the Mini Car Club of Indiana. Lots of fun meets and gatherings and road trips.

SWEET!!!

I'm a couple hundred miles away, but in the same state, and infatuated with the same car.

Good to see another Hoosier signed on!

Yeah I was going to see what kind of MC/MCS owners groups or clubs or what have you around here, and in Indy, since I am only aboot and hour and 20 min away, makes for some fun little trips, I took the MCS to the F1 race on Sat/Sun and it was a blast. I snagged a few pics of I think 2 other MCS while I was there anyone know who they belong to, I will try to attach some pics.

you don't know what you have until it's gone. our company had access to a corporate suite at the track for all three races. the first year i did it all. last few years all i really bothered going to was carb day and F1 qualifying. (which i think is the only real "racing" that happens at a F1 race anyway, lol). last year i didn't go to the track at all on an event day.

this year we sold the suite. my son was really disapointed when i told him i didn't have passes anymore.

guess next year i'll have to buy tickets.

ouch that has got to hurt, we had tickets this year to the redbull suites, they were about 375 a piece, but oh well. next year i'll have to get ahold of everyone when they go and we can meet up or something. Is anyone going to the Indy race at the Kentucky Speedway this year, August 13th I believe.
