Coopers of MINI-haha
 

Hello from South Dakota! Please take the time to post on this thread if you would like to join the Coopers of MINI-haha!

Attachment 43775

We are in Sioux Falls South Dakota in Minnehaha County, hence the name, but welcome all in the area! The more the MINIer! I'm hoping we can find more fun MINI owners that like to talk about their car and even name them!(mine's Stitch)
Hope this gets our group going!

Greetings from a fellow MINIac! It may be cold but the sun is shining and that's always a good reason to kick open the sunroof and cruise!

Yes I agree, but can't we get som warmth soon??? I'm ready for a nice warm drive! I knew the moment I took my snow tires off it would snow. At least it's not sticking!

Great to see you got things started. Hope to see you at the next event MJ! Keep us to the South informed.
MINIs in the Mountains is just around the corner so look for registration on April 29th. Just putting out the invite for the MINI-ha-ha members to join those of us from CORN going down.

So how's this club going? GOod to see something like it start up, but I know that when I go back home to Aberdeen (where I'm originally from) I NEVER see a single MINI! :cry: Hope it's a good size group and you're having fun in SoDak! :thumbsup:

Hey what's going on! Just dropping a line, I'm Steve Gilmore from Omaha, NE. I'm a fellow MINIac.

Hi all my name is Jack Long and I live in Sioux Falls. I haven't purchased my Mini Cooper S yet but I wanted to intro myself and ask if any advice can be gotten before I purchase or lease my auto. I look forward to communicating with all of you again soon. Any advice would be appreciated.:nod: PS: I print in bold b/c it's easier on my eyes.

Welcome
 

Welcome I hope you get your MINI S of your dreams! They are a lot of fun! I don'r ever want another car...ok I might buy another MINI but I would keep the one I have too! What do you want to know?

Add us to add to the ranks of MINI owners in the club, (and show me how to make one of those shiny signatures).

OK. When are we all getting together to motor? I know you are out there, I see you driving around.

Im here and waiting!

Visiting Sioux Falls this summer and was wondering if there is an independent Mini repair shop in the area--just in case. Thanks

No one I have found and I wouldn't trust anyone. We have had to take ours to Omaha. The BMW dealer can do some limited things, and they have been real good to us. But, anything bigger than a thermostat housing goes south.

Thanks:thumbsup:

Howdy y'all, just got mine and wanted to check in here and let you know I'm around just north of Sioux Falls (Colton) and in SF all the time.

Geez, there's another MINI in Parker, I thought we had the monopoly on them here. Our's aren't white. Mine is blue and her's is red. If you see me, stop me and say hi.

I don't usually have my MINI with me when traveling through town b/c I have a State truck and probably doing my inspecting job. If I see either a blue or red MINI roaming the town I will honk my horn and wave to you or maybe stop and say hi. My car photo's can be seen on my Gallery, take a look.

I was in Parker on Friday and was looking for a Blue or Red Mini. I didn't see either so I just drove around town, and if you ask people at the Get N Go they will tell you that they saw my Blue Mini S in their parking lot. I forgot to bring your phone number with me so I couldn't call. Give me a yell sometime and I will try to make another trip to Parker on a Saturday.

Just thought I would post a quick "Hello". I'm a 1st gen owner - bought my MINI new in August 2002 in Memphis, TN as they were not yet available in Texas where I lived - Well it's been the best car ever and I still own and drive it daily. I moved to MiniHAHA county in 2006 and you can see my yellow Coooper S daily outside my business at 4610 W. 12th St. Hope to meet more of you soon!!

How about we all get something going for spring? Perhaps a campout at Lewis & Clark Lake (Nebraska side)??

Oh - I can proudly say (I think,,,,) I was one of the first 100 members here at Minicooper online (they changed the name to motoring some time ago...)

Just found the club
 

Hello,
Just found the club as a result of looking for service related issues. Glad to have found you

Mini club sd!
 

We found a sticker on a used car I was inspecting, & am blown away there's a mini club here! I've been in Sioux Falls SD for around 6-1/2 years now, been working at Vern Eide for about 4. Rebuilt my cousin's '05 cooper S works edition, about 2 years ago, & got to drive it for a couple months. Always been a fan of the BMW versions, not so much for the chryslers.

Would love to come to a car event in town, someone email me when they are?
