Thanks for all the ideas. I like the idea of them down the passenger side of the windshield. That's where I put the MTTS cling. Also would like to tint soon, when I find a good place, not much choice in my area.

Now I need to figure out how to put all badges in the signature and pics in the gallery. Help!!!

Kathy

P.S.Mininurse/JustJay is that a Packers Europlate on the car--Love the Packers also!

Greetings, DCMM Club Members ! Just found the NAM site last week and now I discovered this forum... I'm on a roll !

Check out My Gallery to see our three-month old babies. We love them dearly and I can't see myself ever buying another car that is not a MC !

Hope to participate in some local events in the future. Until then... glad to be part of the group.

Good to know I'm not the only one living in Eldersburg with a MINI.

I was thinking maybe Eldersburg has the highest number of MINIs per capita of any place in the world. Seems everywhere I go, I see them in our small town. I've seen these, so far:

CR with White roof, mirrors, and bonnet stripes.
BRG with white roof.
Blue with black roof and black stripes.
LY convertible.
And my own two, of course.

Are any of these yours, or do we have at least 7 in town ?

Edit: Just looked at your gallery. Seems we do have at least 7.

Welcome to DCMM!
I am the Kelly in question (I think) and got my packet last week! First thing Da Crema asked me on Sunday (after graciously allowing me to use his wheels) was if I had joined DCMM! Hope to meet some of you soon, but will definitely see some on October 15th!

None are me, I have a BRG/B S with a white sunroof graphic.

I also notice a JB S at Osaka/where Martins used to be. I think whoever owns that one works over there because I always see it in that shopping center when I stop over there.

Hey Jeremy, Yes, I saw the pics you posted of your new stripes yesterday in another thread. Congrats on the new look... very nice. A MC without Bonnet stripes is kind of like kissing your sister. It's a kiss, but hey... it's your sister.

Seriously...I get into Baltimore a lot so who knows, if you see one of The Twins, give me a wave and I'll surely return it.

Congrats man! You'll have to let me see it sometime soon. I bet the drive back from Virginia Beach was one of the best drives you've ever had, even if it was on the highway.

Edge,
well since i came back in the hurricane (ernesto), i will admit that it wasnt the best drive...lol. Still only have 500 miles on it...break-in seems to take forever.

Revwillie,
I am located in Sterling, you and i talked about the local Checkm8s available. I believe you picked up yours at Towson, right?

OK, cool. Sorry about my failing memory.

Hey, as long as I have the only checkmate in Alexandria, I'm happy!
