Another MINIac Joins The Group!

Hey everybody!

After 2 years of driving every student MINI Cooper that I could at Summit Point's FATT program, I made the leap and bought my own. The one I bought sat on a used car lot up the road from my house for 6 weeks before I gave in and bought it.

My wife saw you guys at the British Pantry a few weeks ago while I was at VIR, and grabbed your card, and I am looking forward to meeting you all this weekend for the cherry picking adventure.

See you soon!

The first rule of the cult is - You must post pics

Welcome!

PS: I am sure that is not the first rule, but it is an important rule.

I gave your wife the card! Welcome to the club! The British Pantry run is very tame compared to what we normally do. Glad to have an instructor in the group!

Glad to be in the group! Everyone I met seemed very nice, and even getting lost was fun!

I will be putting my 03 MCS in to Sterling shortly for the final warranty check-up, I've been smelling anti-freeze off and on for about a week or so, and while there I will talk with Mike about getting some more track events going.

As for photos, I will try to get some but "Marty" is a little shy.
