Right now, I'm still sorting out a few, but look for them soon! I'm working on another driving event, and it looks like that there will be a go-kart event after all in the late September time frame!

Stay tuned!!

Thank you for sending your payments but...

make sure to make a check payable to the order of DC METRO MINIs do not put my name on the checks. When this happens I need to send the check back to you and wait for you to re send in a proper check. Of course, all this delays the membership process and you need to wait longer to receive your goodies.:impatient

Thank you very much !!!

Argh!
Okay, I made my check out to "DC Metro Minis c/o Marina Martin". Does this mean my check is on the way back to me or is my check - made out this way - okay?

WAGNBAT has a new Batman themed MCS.

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!

Welcome to new members:

Your packets and member cards are en route early this week.

Also, packet is en route to the B's.

Now waiting on a shipment of XL tees to get the last few packets out. Should not be long!

The last time I was even close to being this excited and in love with a car was when I bought my very first car with my own $$ back in 1985... a Honda Civic CRX.

I have always loved small cars with lots of personality!

Membership Card...

Okay, so I've been kind of an invisible member for the past couple of months, but I never did receive my membership card in the mail...do they actually exist or did I just get overlooked? I paid my membership fee at the cookout at Towson MINI this summer. Could somebody let me know when I should be getting my card???

Kurt, we don't usually send new cards out to renewing members. The letter you got when you renewed would have asked you to let me know if your card was lost. Also, we don't send out new member packets to renewals.

Please send me the address etc at membership@dcmetrominis.org and I will take care of it.

Amazing Growth

WOW, DCMM is really growing fast. Imagine if we had 100 cars at an event. I don't mean something like the Dragon, but just a normal event such as the drive-in movie.

HA! We's fill up the entire theatre. Actually, that'd make a cool pic, the whole drive-in filled with MINI's....

with bonnets up!!

Drive in Movies? Do they even exist anymore? Ain't seen one in like 30 years!

Come on down to the Tate Breakfast. I think it should be next Saturday (3rd Sat of the month). A fair amount of people show up!
