My wife loves the idea of being at MotD 2006, but not the idea of being only 1 out of 598 who is German.

So, if anyone is German or speaks it, we'd love to catch up with you at the Dragon.

I think Moskito is German?

 

if anyone is coming from Germany...... would you consider bringing me the center carbon fiber piece from Hamann??????? I need one to complete my dash

 

There are a few MINI folk going to MOTD who speak German. We'd be thrilled to have you both join us! Don't be shy....come on down! We will say "Wilkommen!"

 

Being one of the few Canucks, of many different bloodlines you can hang with myself and Lois who is part German

Don't worry, we'll be there! Room at the Fontana Inn reserved, signed up for welcome and farewell dinner, will be going to watch autox on Saturday to see if we'd be interested in doing it ourselves in the future, and all around just hanging out and seeing where the wind takes us.

 

Look forward to meeting you both there.

 

I go to Munich every year and know how to order a few things in German as well as thank her several different ways in German for coming to the Dragon!

She will feel welcome, we will do our best to make sure of it!... Do I need to bring my leiderhosen and wear them around...

 

Lederhosen won't be necessary, but I'll make sure I pass along the offer.

 

I am German indeed, as in "born and grown up in Germany to a German father and mother". Not as in "likes German chocolate" or "has a German Shepherd dog".
Das bedeutet natuerlich das ich Deutsch sprechen kann und auch Deutsch verstehe. Mein MINI heisst darum auch "Moskito" und nicht "Mosquito", und die Auto Nummer von meinen MCoupe ist "Atemlos."


Tschuess und bis naechstes Wochenende.

Chad, be sure to check out the big FL board, www.sunshineminis.org, which has a German forum in which they post in German. The site admin, James, whose NAM username is jamesday24, speaks fluent German and is very active on NAM's Collectibles forum: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...play.php?f=116

I think James is attending, and if so, I'm sure he'd love to chat with your wife.

 

We will be there as well....

my Wife being greek and speaking most european languages and myself being Austrian.... (obviosly speaking Oesterreichisch.. (different kind of German...)

Looking forward to meet you...

I'll make sure and tell my wife to be on the lookout for "Moskito" and not the pesky blood sucking ones.

MINIClo,

Thanks for the tip. I'll follow up on it as soon as I can.

Chad

 

Looking forward to meeting you both.
