I went to B&BII last April in the b/f's Miata! I'm sure no one really remembers me from that, though

That was when i KNEW i was going to get a MINI. It took me a year, but i sure enough got one

"Bus driver" doesn't sound very sexy.

I might not go to many MD events... atleast not anytime soon.

New Member!

Hello Everyone!

I bought my 2004 Mini Cooper S 3 weeks ago and I LOVE her (named her Lola)! I just joined DCMM yesterday; my dues are in the mail. I am also in the process of trying to figure out a cute personalized license plate to get for Lola so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I look forward to meeting everyone :smile:

Welcome to DCMM To help get into the entire mini world check out Go Motoring

I'm in the same boat for the custom plates. What things are you interested in? Or do you want the plates having to do with your MINI? Maybe that way we can help you with that :smile:

I would prefer a plate that has something to do with a Mini. I even went so far as to look up all words begining / ending with "mini". I did see a funny one the other day "XXS BMW" but obviously that one is taken.

Thanks for the great site ... I am addicted

Very cute ... thank you! I am going to stay away from using Lola in the plate; I don't want people to think my name is Lola ... heehee! But if you think up any other's that would be great. Thanks for your help Short Bus :smile: I was thinking of getting "GOT BOOT" or "TITEFIT".

Welcome to new members Kat and Jim. Your cards went out on Monday.

I mailed about a dozen new member welcome packets yesterday. This clears most of the June new members

I have all the remaining packets ready to go. Its about four bag fulls, so as I get time this week I will bring them to work with me and mail them from Georgetown. All new members signed up to July 25 should have their new member packets no later than August 8!

Speaking of quickness, got my card yesterday!

My last name is spelled wrong though, it's with 2 R's instead of one.

Received My Kit Yesterday

Much appreciated. So the dilemma is where to place the DCMM window sticker?

Passenger side (cause I'm moving in the left lane passing)
Driver's side (cause I'm stuck on traffic and you are passing me)
Rear Window (You came up on me, or I just went by you)

... maybe a pizza delivery sign strapped to the roof with DCMetroMini's on it?

Anyway it's Friday and I clearly need a drink.

Nuff said and thanks for the kit.

Kat - will correct and get another one out to you for next week. Sorry. I have been having a spate of really bad spelling over the last month. I think it is old age.

I have mine right on the center of the windshield, behind the rearview mirror so I don't see it while driving...

Woot! and the like

Just recieved my kit with my MINI Mints yesterday. I too have the dilema of where to put the sticker at, but first, Estrella needs to be washed and waxed and taken care of first. Maybe if the rain would stop!

*squees with excitement*

Thanks!
