I'm glad all these new folks like their welcome packages. They are pretty neat.
Now, if we could only solve the slight speeling, I mean, spelling snafus...Jen. And you can't blame age, cuz I'm waaaaaaaayy older than you and I can still spell. My memory, however, is another story....

 

Welcome to new members:


Donna and Mike G -
Aysa and David
John and Lisa

Your membership cards are en route to you this morning. I am waiting on time to get to Kinkos to reprint our business cards and then I will get your new member packets out. Give me about three weeks.

 

Hi Jen, I just wanted to point out my name is ASYA not AYSA. It is very easy to mix these up. It is pronounced "Asia" so just think "Y instead of I". And to verify, my last name is Robinson; I would hate for the boyfriend to have a heart attack thinking I am using his last name ... heehee!
THANK YOU! I am so excited to get the packet.

 

There sure have been a lot of complainers here recently. I think they need to take a more proactive stance and change their names to match the membership cards being made.

 

Jen, I hope I didn't come across as a complainer or a whiner! We all truly appreciate all the work you put into making our packets that bring us such joy!

 

Well my dear, when you get your card your name will be spelled wrong. I wrote it Asya Robinson. Then looked twice and said, that's not right, went and checked. Changed it to Aysa and sent it out!!!

David's is right.

Will do a do-over on yours.

 

Hello all, My name is Tim Strand. My wife (Shole) and I just joined the club last week. I am finally getting a chance to post my first message. We just got our 2005 MCS on July 16th and have already taken the first road trip to upstate NY, what a blast. We are looking forward to meeting everyone and enjoying some twisties.

Tim

 

Hi Tim and Shole,

Welcome !!! Got your check yesterday Hope to see you at the Aug. 14th event..

Hi Jen - hate to point out another typo, but "John and Lisa" should be John and LAURA. We're picking up our MCS tomorrow and are very excited. Thanks!

 

I joined the club a few days ago... hm. I can say that I 'paid' the fee a few days ago..
I got my mini 3 weeks ago and put down 2300 miles on it already.
I just cannot get the hell out of this car..

It's cr with black top + bonnet / Boot stripes..
no front license plate.

Hope to see you guys around.. :smile:

 

Greetings! I am a new 05 CR/W w/Wbonnetstrps #3 MINI owner and I have had my MINI for three weeks now and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!! I have washed the MINI three times and waxed it once! Now I don't mind when the wife asks me to run to the store for something! I live in the Ellicott City/Columbia, MD area and commute to Rockville, MD M-F. I have been lurking here and at NAM for a couple of weeks. My new MINI is named Red 5 (any other MINI or MCS Star Wars fans out there?) and will soon be decorated in a subtle Star Wars theme with stripes indicating Red 5, and the Rebel Alliance and Incom (the manufacturer of the X-Wing) logos. I have wanted my own MINI for four years and have always planned to personalize it in a Star Wars X-Wing theme. When it comes to personalized deco my philosophy is less = more, so it won’t be as over the top as the cars at RoadSquadron.com, although I really do appreciate their creativity. As for the roof art… the jury is still out on that one and I have several designs I am considering. Are there any other Star Wars themed MINI/MCS out there? Are there any sci-fi, fantasy or superhero themed MINI/MCS out there? I have been looking, but haven’t found any… yet. Anyway, I am so happy with my MINI and so happy to have joined NAM. When I see other MINI/MCS I am sure to wave/flash/honk! Happy motoring and my the Force be with you all… and your little dog too!

 

Haha! Welcome and I think that I saw you yesterday on my way into DC around 7ish p.m.

 

If you do see me be sure to wave/flash/honk or if you're going the same way pull into formation and we'll motor along for a bit.

Common times that you would possibly see me M-F are between 6:30 and 7:30 AM as I commute into work or between 4:00 and 5:00 PM as I commute home.

MTFBWY,

Which road do you take?
I live in Ellicott City too...! on Old Annapolis Rd...

 

I am on Toll House Road! :smile:

My commute path is this. I get on Rte-29 south from Rte-103 and go to Rte 216 West. Then across Lime Kiln and Browns Bridge onto Ednor and into Montgomery county. Rte 28 to Gude Drive and Research Boulevard.

By the way, when you are in the Ellicott City area make sure to drive on New Cut Road. That road was made for MINIs!

MTFBWY,
--Will

 

Jen, I'm sorry to say but the new card you sent me still has my name spelled wrong

 

May I ask a favor?

If you receive something that is spelled wrong. If you don't get something that you wanted. If you don't get something that you asked for or ordered. If you are looking for your membership card or new member packet. Or you need help with your club membership - please e mail me at membership@dcmetrominis.org rather than clutter up this board and thread with requests which I may or may not read depending on whether I have time to cruise the boards.

Thanks.

 

Jen, got it! Thanks

 

Well, I'm finally making it official. After tagging along with Edge, its time to set out on my own :smile:

So, just want to say a quick HELLO!

 

Glad you decided to join the MINI ranks, Scavenger! Now, in order to truly be a "DCMM New Member", you actually have to join DCMM.

http://www.dcmetrominis.org

It's only $26/year... and as you've seen, very much worth it.

 

My membership check went in the mail this very morning. In fact, I put it right in the hands of the Postman.
MTFBWY,

did you finally order your 06 MCS? :-)

 

I did join! I put the check in the mail this morning!

Congratulations!!!

Where is the best place to see a calendar of what's planned?
