It doesn't look like there's a lot of action in this club lately (other than new members joining, which is always a good thing.) So, just thought i'd drop in and say hello (<--- DSOC member for a month, since i got my MINI)
Here's a pic. Sorry about thumbnail.

This MINI looks like mine -- I'm not sure if my driving lamps line up w/ my stripes or not, i never noticed actually. In my defense, i've only had her a month!

Taking ownership this Wednesday, April 30 after a 7.5 week wait. I will post pictures of her as soon as I can.

As for her name, Hiyumi is a hybrid name taken from Hitomi Yoshizawa and Sayumi Michishige, my two most favourite members of JPop group Morning Musume. Oh, and Hitomi means "eyes" in Japanese, and with the MINI's headlights, I found it appropos.

I hate to ask but has anyone noticed a decline in the number of DS MINIs around? When I first joined my club we usually had a bunch of Dark Silvers and then a few "other colors" now when we get together I'm the only one! Just curious if anyone else has noticed this trend. Can't say it's a bad thing, it is nice being unique (although I've always been the only DS/W in the group)

Hello all,

I just brought Avery home today, he's a whopping one and half tons of adorable DS/B and I love him pieces.

I ordered him March 1st as a birthday present to myself and he hopped off the truck yesterday.

*waves hello*
