Just wanted to say hello from SLC! I have been rummaging around the site for a few and decided to join. My wife and myself are proud owners of an 03 MCS Indigo Blue and we love her very much!!

Thank you for your time!

Welcome !! Glad you went from a lurker to a poster.

So, are you new to the MINI family, or did you buy your baby new in '03 ?

We love pics around here. Show us your loved one ASAP.

Welcome...I'm new here as well. I'm waiting for my order to come in soon. I find myself occupying myself on these boards while waiting for the call from the dealer. May you have thousands of miles of happy motoring.

Welcome! I was born in SLC and spent 4 years of college out there... Good to see you're representing the MINI in the land of lifted pick-ups and Suburbans

Unfortunantly we bought our baby used in May but she is fantastic and we WILL become a 2 Mini family as soon as we can sell the Mazda Tribute. I am a proud member of Mini Motoring Club of Utah (just got my sticker) I also just took some pictures and will post them soon. Thank you all so much for the warm welcome and can't wait to see you race Lexbomb! I am also still working on my avitar hopefully I will have that up soon too.

Thanks again and have a great Mini day!!

Nothing unfortunate about that ! Can't wait to see the pics.

By the way... if you do become a two-MINI family, I want to warn you about how much time you'll be spending with the hose, wash bucket, squeegie, chamois, polish, wax, microfiber towels, window cleaner, etc, etc, etc.

Better think twice about that.

Never! Will I ever regret 2mini's! She will have to wash her own car! I was refering to the wish that we had owned her from the beginning! In fact she has her out running errands with the camera in the boot:(

Hopefully a pic by the end of today!

We have named her our "Blue Bully" since she looks like she has an under bite.

Hello. Hows the 'Pepper River City' treating Blue Bully? What packages do you have in it? Interior, seats, etc. What makes your Blue Bully, YOUR Blue Bully

Yep BadNPld, it's great to see more people from SLC posting on NAM.

Remember people, we're going to have our mock run this October for the first annual MUTA (Mini Under the Arches) that is happening in 2007 in Moab UT.

If you would like additional info on the Mock run that's happening next month, go here.

Bad and Lex, are you coming to the Mock?

My sweet Blue Bully has NAV, COLD WEATHER, CLOTH INTERIOR, PANO ROOF

I am planning some mods IE: ipod connection, air intake, sway bar, lighter rims and tires, springs and brakes, and then learning more about what she will need to go faster! I don't want stripes but I would like to black out as much chrome as possible. The hard part is figuring out WHAT to do first or next.... winter will give me some time to plan this out!

What makes her MY Mini? Every time I look at her my heart skips a beat? and I can't wait to drive her again! After selling "Gretchen" my 66 beetle I never thought a car could make me giddy with anticipation to drive but, this little blue car has me HOOKED!! Another way I know she's mine is I am here posting on this site because I hate the thought of message boards! and I am constantly watching 2 sites message boards! I LOVE MY BLUE BULLY!! and her sweet bully underbite!!

I have to say that the people of the Mini Motoring Club Of Utah also make this easier by being such a great bunch of people and for the warm welcome and I always felt that with the "aircooled crowd"
And yes MATTMAN I and the wife will be attending the mock run! She will be emailing you for more info!

I would like to thank you all (MINI OWNERS!) for being such a great group of folks!

Thanks again,
BadNPld
DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!!
