I picked up my new MINI today at MoS. Relatively easy experience besides them trying to sell me all sorts of extra things, but it wasn't high pressure, just lots of fluff at inflated prices. I got my DCMM 10% discount an some accessories, so the membership already paid for itself...floor mats, my AUX inut and installation, and the boot box was already on sale so I didn't get a discount on top of that. I think I have about 90 miles on it already. :-) Lots of fun to drive.

Hey, I might have seen your car out there last weekend! You're almost my twin. Did you get the bonnet stripe?

Happy Motoring!

Except he has an MCa, and you have an MCS.

Nope, no bonnet stripe. And the car was just delivered to MoS on Wednesday so you didn't see it there last weekend. I think SB is getting pretty popular though.

Yeh, I was kinda hoping it wouldn't get TOO popular, but on the bright side, this will be the only year that it's available, so in the grand scheme, it'll still be rare.

How are you enjoying your MINI so far?

Another new batch of membership cards going out on Monday morning. Please note that Samiam03 (aka Sam!) is going to be picking up new member communications from this point out. Of course, you all know where to find me if you need me.

Pete J - your packet went back out priority mail yesterday. Hope that you get it today!

Shelley and Jason - your cards were returned to me "no such address" if you get this, please PM address as I may have it down wrong. I will also check your application again.

JLO

Howdy Everyone!

Although I'm on my second MINI, and I've been a member down here in the Hampton Roads area for a couple of years, I found out that I will be transferred up north into y'all's back yard.

By January I should be working at Ft. Meade. Joined up today and spent the weekend wondering if I could ever afford to live up there....

Hey guys,

I should be a new mini owner in the next week or so I think I found the car at Mini of Charelston so I guess I'll be taking Amtrak down to pick it up and driving him back here. I'll have to join the club after that. Can't wait to meet some other Mini Owners. Although I can't believe I missed the Dragon by two weeks Now I have to wait another 50 to go!

Well you sure did miss a good Dragon, but you are right only 51 weeks to go and counting for MOTD 2K7 .... looking forward to it too.

Enjoy your delivery of your new MINI and hope to see you at an event soon...

Pm'd you back. It sometimes can take up to six weeks, but you have waited too long and we'll find out what is going on.
