Ugh, sucky that you didn't receive your package. Maybe it got lost in the mail or something. Hopefully you have it by now. Since others have started to receive theirs, i'll be on the lookout for mine. =) Cant wait to get my stuff and start tagging other Minis!

When I mailed them yesterday, the post office lady actually pulled yours out and put it in a separate bin. She was training someone and said anything going to that town has to go in this bin. If you don't have it by Friday, please let me know.

Getting my MINI

Hi all,

I'm in Alexandria and I am hoping to pick up my MINI next week! Just wanted to say hi to all the MINI owners in the DC area!

(I'm sure I've seen lots of you driving around!)

Where ever you want to put it!

I have mine on the passenger side in the back window, but I've seen others on the front windshield (DC requires too many stickers for me to put it there!).

I'm excited to be meeting fellow Mini owners! Just joined this week, though I've had the Mini since July. Black 2007 Cooper with a white top.

Looking forward to fun Mini events, maybe even next weekend!

I LIVE in hoodies during the winter. I would SO be all over one.

I think were going down to the Tidal Basin tomorrow. How was it? Full bloom yet? Pics?

The best way is to use another site like Flickr.com, upload the pics there and use the link of the pic to post here.

When you create a message on NAM, click the pic looking symbol and put the link in it.

How can i use multi-quote? I've done it before once but i cant seem to get it to work now.

Cherry blossoms are gorgeous! I dunno about FULL bloom but there were a lot of them! Stupid people were picking them! I did take pics but dont have any uploaded yet.

JustJAY- thanks =) I'll check into that b/c i'm sure that's much easier. It's a pain only being able to have one pic in one thread at a time. I want everyone to see Zoe!!

Hey everyone,

As I mentioned in the music thread, I just ordered my first Mini, a Clubman S. I'm looking forward getting to know everyone. I will join DCMM once somebody adds Clubman to the new member page.

The full details of my Clubman S (automatic) are as follows:

Exterior is Pepper White, Pepper White roof, Black C-Pillars, white turn signals, rear fog lamp, 16" Bridge spoke wheels. I will be adding stripes, but I'm still deciding what kind. Probably black viper stripes.

Interior gets Checkered cloth, Anthracite headliner, chrome, wood trim, wood steering wheel, and splurged for the HiFi audio.

Welcome! I will ask our I.T. guru Scavenger to see what he can do about adding Clubman to the list! Of course we will get it on there
Hope you enjoy your new baby when she is delivered, and you come out and join us

Question on renewal

Hi,
I renewed my membership back at the end of '07 and am wondering on when I'll get my new ID card? We spoke at MoS at the beginning of the March meeting. I am getting ready to move to a new townhouse in Manassas and am trying to avoid getting stuff lost in the mail.

Thanks,
Christina

p.s. - once the move is done near the end of the month, I would be happy to host a party if anyone is interested.

Yes, we have parties. In this case - kind of a housewarming party as well as a way to just have a good time. Just because we love Mini's doesn't mean that we do not enjoy other activities. I haven't had a chance to meet many of the other DCMM'ers outside of 2 meetings, so I thought throwing a party would be a good way to do meet people.

I'll post again on a new thread when things are clearer. Hmmn. Maybe I need to do a divination to set the best day.
