Are you Brian Pooler?

I just answered my own question. If you're from MD, then you're not the Brian who's renewed. In order to get the packet, you have to sign up for a new membership..

Hey everybody! I just signed up this evening, and earlier, was at the Coffee & MINI meet in Bowie tonight. Had a great time!

I'm Chase, I have a 2003 MCS DS/B and live in So. MD (Sunderland)

I'm so glad to be able to be part of such a fun group of people!

That is me ->

and this is my car! ->
(it does look a little different now, and is much cleaner!)

It was a pleasure to meet you today at Coffee & MINI.

Welcome to the club and looking forward to see you again soon.

Good looking MINI though.

Welcome aboard Chase. I live in southern SoMD by NAS Pax River. I go by Sunderland quite often. I would like to get to more of the DCMM functions, but it is quite the trip from here. Nice looking DS MINI. Have you joined the Dark Silver Owners Club (DSOC) yet? We are a great group and much better than the other groups.

Motor On! Safely.

I signed up for another 1-year hitch, sent in my check, it was cashed, but I have not received my new ID card yet. No hurry though. I don't get much chance to show up at places where I need it and Tate takes my word that I belong and gives me the discount.

When did you send in your check? I never got word of your renewal....

We will definitely have more of the events down to the area. One of them that already has a tentative schedule listed in the calendar is "MINIs by the Bay".

Looking forward to see you.

I do not recall who led the packs at last years MBTB, but I was in the first pack and had a blast, who was it ? Katie ? or did she sweep ?

Anyway, I hope we can find out because that was one of the "quickest" runs yet, Leona and I did nothing but laugh and giggle the whole way ! Just like a roller coaster ride

It's one of the best DCMM's run events. The tentative date is on April 25th.

Be ready everyone.

kgdblu,
My check is dated 10/25/07 and that is within a few days of when I sent it in. I think the person that it went to was out west fighting fires or something like that and the check wasn't cashed until sometime in December. If you need anymore info, I will have to go back and see to who(m) I sent the check. Can we take this off line. My e-mail address is minidriver3@verizon.net.

Ken

I got word today that Byron, our card maker is out of town all this week. Therefore, the cards will not be mailed til this coming Saturday, 2/9.
I should have the cards by Tuesday. The packets will go out next Wednesday, 2/13.

Sorry for the delay, but it's beyond my control...

Welcome D-Unit... it takes a few weeks for our swaginator to get it all put together. Don't be alarmed! :-)

Hey all,
The member roster just grew by one! I've had my MINI for about a month and a half and I am, of course, in love with her. I go to school in western PA but I'll be home next weekend for the monthly breakfast at Towson
I'm extremely excited to be a member of this community and can't wait to meet some of you the 16th!
Dan

again I apologize for the delay but what I thought was a bad chest cold turns out to be double pneumonia. I'm not permitted to go outside in the cold air as this exacerbates the condition.
As soon as I can stop coughing, the packets will go out...

Please stay inside. Your return to good health is much more important than sending out new cards. I know mine can wait. Take care.

Acrobatikdan,

Where in Western PA are you going to school. Our home is Johnstown, but we are currently holed up in Southern MD.

I got to Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). I'm but a short drive away from Johnstown! In fact I pass a few exits for your town when I drive home and back.
I like it here, but this area has very poor motoring weather during the winter. Always some kind of precipitation and overcast skies
Beautiful in the spring though!

hiya!

Hi everyone!

I *just* signed up about 5 minutes ago

I picked up little Ambrosia on 1/31 from Mini of Towson.

More about her here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=128935

I've been lurking on here for a while and you guys all seem like an awesome group of people. I'm really looking to meeting everyone and bringing little Ambrosia out to play

I'm amazed at how many other Minis I've been seeing out in the area - especially in the Bethesda/Rockville area where I work. I've been too shy so far to wave (I nodded once though and the person nodded back!). Most of the other drivers seemed sort of oblivious though!

Anyway, I'm hoping to make it out to some sort of event soon!

Maddie
