goldcountrymini, AMAZING car. I really wanted the 'vert, but because of the New England winters I just got the sunroof.

Now it looks like I'm gonna be moving anyway... Oh well, I still love my car.

 

That must be quite a challange in Connecticut, huh?

 

add me to the club please

 

So do we actually to have one in possession to join, or just have one on order?

 

Wellllll....these past coupla days, I admit, I either stayed home or took the TDi!

But - held a rally around lake Candlewood last Saturday, which was a day peppered by monsoons. When it was a mere downpour, top was down... (As the leader, I couldn't possibly set a bad example!!
Even at 35 mph, wasn't getting wet...except for those big fat drops from the trees, and at those infernal stop signs CT DOT puts up everywhere!

What diehards MINI drivers are - we had a blast, in between and during the storms!

 

zzMini,
You live near Candlewood? That's awesome . I was born in Danbury and even though I live in sunny South Florida now, I am actually driving up there right now and should be there Saturday! Have not been up there in years. All the rain and flooding on the way up is nuts right now. Staying near Yardley, PA at the moment and the Delaware River is causing all sorts of problems. Hope I see your CR MINI up in Danbury around town while I am up there. I am currently driving my other "Mini" (the Mini VAN!!). At first I missed my CR MINI, but with all the flooding, etc. I am actually glad I left it at home and did not expose it to all this nasty weather.

Do you have an active group in Danbury? If so, how many MINI owners attend your meets? Do you have any meets coming up over the 4th of July weekend? Would be AWESOME to attend one - even though I don't have my MINI :(.

 

VicSkimmr,

I got my VIN# and its built, so I'm in! Just a minor detail that it hasn't gotten to my dealer yet....
I'm watching over it now, plotting the mods and shifting the gears....

Sir Mini

 

Hey MCT - check out nemini.org - it is the 'local' forum I use most. THere is a Let's Get Together - Meets, Rallys, Runs section. Not sure what is happening over the 4th. I am still reeling from hosting my own mini MINI run.
But a former Hatter is always welcome, even in a Mini VAN!
Depending on where you are when, we could maybe set up a very impromptu gathering. Do you have fond memories of the Hatch or Sycamore?
Drop me a PM and let's see what happens! Or post on that forum. It's a good group!

Enjoy your road trip!

 

I'm in!! Maggy is an 06 CR/W MCS with LSD, Sport, Premium, white S-lites, rear fog, Octagon Tartan, CR interior, and HK sound. This is my first new car as we usually buy the wife the dependable new car and I get the clunker. At 38, this is not my mid-life crisis car but rather an early retirement gift to myself. 20 years of serving the dictatorship of the Army which guards the Republic is EASILY worth a Mini!!!

 

Picked up mine today - 06 CR/W with Sport, Premium, Cold Weather, Tartan Red/Black seats, Navigation sys, LSD with some post-market JCW mods - definitely second middle-aged crisis. Had a '60 Mini Minor and a '65 Cooper back in the bad ole days.
Please issue me a number - no special request.

 

May I please have a membership number? Cheers!!

 

I'm trading my 05 PW/B MCS for a 06 CR/B JCW MCS. As you'll note, I am PW/B #1. Should you ever choose to don PW garb, I would consider a moniker swap.

edit: oops, sorry KRGMini05

 

I had the pleasure of meeting TSR53 and his family at Nevada Beach, Lake Tahoe on the 4th of July. He was here all the way from Vermont visiting his brother. We had a nice chat before the park ranger came along and told us to move our vehicles out of the campsite path.

Thanks for the grill badges, Thompson.

Chili Red Mini Cooper owners are the nicest people.

 

How do I apply for CROC? Thanks. Ron (Minirus)

 

Do we have CROC badges yet or was it just other grille badges

 

Can I join the club? I just got my Chili 2 weeks ago

 

06 Cooper S cabrio. I added (not pictured) driving lights, checkered side mirrors and chrome boot covers. Car's name is Andersen.

Yes, we made it back finally! Meeting other MINI owner's is fun! I sure wish I had more time to chat with you and your wife (you guys drove all the way up from Carson City) but at least we did cross paths. I'm glad you like the badges even though they are the prototypes.

I just picked up the final proof of the badges today and we are good to go! These badges rock. Stay tuned, they will be for sale soon. I've got to get vendor status first. Should be very, very soon. Yes, Chili Red Owners Club will be available and many, many other designs too.

 

I DO have the Original Genuine Chili Red Owner's Club Badges and the...
LYOC, BYPOC, PHOC, HOOC, IBOC, JBOC, EBOC, PWOC, PSOC, BRGOC, DSOC, ABOC, HBOC, owner's club badges and other designs as well.

Just picked the final proofs up today! Should be for sale soon, stay tuned.

 

TSR53 -
It's me again - the one who bugs you for CRROC stuff (R is for RAGTOP!)
Will you have that great artwork with white wheels and mirrors as a 'vert in this group???

 

Yes, most versions will be available in stickers and magnetic badges. Hold tight, should be very soon.
