You will have your packet by the end of the week. The usual procedure for new member/renewal is they are sent out twice per month. They were slightly delayed this time, since I transitioned into the role.

Hope to see you at the next event!!

Not only can you check out the events calendar, always look at the top of the forum page. There are 'Sticky' threads. These are the next month's upcoming events. Check them out, we hope to see you there!

Hello All!

Hello! Its nice to see all of your Mini's on here.

I am a first time Mini owner, on Good Friday to be exact. I bought a 2006
Mini S. It is dark grey/silver with a black top and black stripes on the Bonnett. I love it!

I am not sure of what package/options it has that others do not. Btw if someone could be a peach and let me in on the secret to getting the phone controls working, I would be very appretiative! It seems to have the phone options on the steering wheel, but is missing the center console for the phone dock (if that makes sense). Do all mini's come with the phone controls on the steering wheels? Seems like I am missing half of the puzzle.

I am really looking forward to joining your club. My wife and I are sort of new to the area, my wife grew up here but we just relocated back here from New Mexico. I grew up in Seattle. So we are really looking forward to meeting some new friends. I think this club will be a great idea for that.

We are currently living in Waldorf, but plan to move sometime. I work up in Germantown so it is a bit of a trek up to work.

Anyways, I look forward to meeting you all!

Joey aka Mini_Ape

Congrats on your new MINI.

Fortunately in April, we will have tons of things going on. Start from the 6th all the way to the end of the month.

Most of the event will list in the DC metro MINI's event calendar and some of them are stickied on the first page of the forum.

Please come and join us.

Looking forward to see and your new MINI at the next event.

welcome mini ape. While I can't help you with phone controls, I do encourage you to join DCMM and become part of the fun.

If you have any questions about the club, please don't hesitate to ask.

1200.00 Guess Ill stick to my blue tooth head set!

Thank you all for the warm welcome, I am going to see if I can figure out how to join this evening.

Would someone be willing to look over the mini with me to see if there are any problems with it? It seems to be fine, but you know how car dealerships can be sometimes. I did get a 100k mile warranty on it though.

YAY for me as well. Came home to a VERY nice package in my mail box. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the T-Shirt. I know i'm going to be wearing that out very quick. The sticker i'll probably wait to put on until i get the tint done.

I def. look forward to meeting everybody on the 6th for the drive!!
