What you drive

The other night i was out for a "midnight motor" and I passed two minis, a blue cooper s (with piaas) and a liquid yellow. I wish I knew which person drove which mini so i could 'think oh, theres so and so.' I know if I came to more meetings I could find out for myself but I cant always go. The only person I can match to their mini is yucca, with his brg/w S and roof rack. I guess if like people can put down who they are and what they drive it would help people out (including me) in identifing people as they motoring by in the bham/alabama area. I guess I'll start.

05 chilli red/white MC 15 in hollies
thanks

Thomas

BRG MCS with Magic Mini Stickers. It took me about 6 months to learn club members cars and still trying to remember names.

I'm keeping the MCS and my wife will be driving the new Cooper. Her MINI should be very easy to recognize!!!

At the Eat & Run today someone suggested starting a mini directory. If it would be possible & not take up too much space I think it is a great idea. Take a picture of yourself beside your Mini & post it.

Great idea. I would be glad to host the pages needed to do this on my site. or maybe we could do the bham group on bamamini.com and the hville group on rocketcitymini site. Just a idea.

If you have the space, doing it on magic mini sounds good to me. We could have a directory area. See what everybody thinks.

What about the chrome spinners? or maybe you're going with floaters?




I want my next MINI to be either tie-dyed or plaid.

I think the new Cooper will look fantastic, especially with those 20 inch spinners and about 50 neon underbody lights!

I think it is going to be a very unusual and sharp looking MINI!

I really think the new PurpleHaze/Silver Cooper is going to look really sharp and cute.

It will be very far from the pimp-mobile that it sounds like. And if I am wrong, I will just put a long peacock feather in my fedora!

I suggested the photo album, thinking that at the next meet, one of our shutter geeks could take all the pix one ata time, photoshop (or equiv) them with a label overlay (i.e 'Steve (shorn)'), then post the thumbnails here and at MagicMini or BAMAMini. And even zip them up for downloading. But we need to do it before it gets too freakin' cold.
