Might have to miss an autocross for this
Seems like race day on "movie days".
Will definitely bring the digi. cam. Who knows, there might be something
new on the showroom floor or the display cabinet

 

Seems that the monthly autocross falls on the movie sunday. Anyway we can make a switch? I would like Latka and Kohu'ulaMini not to have to choose one or the other.

Thanks in advance....

Aloha and greetings from Hawaii!
Welcome back- we have a little bit of Hawaii here at this corner of MCO. It's just like you are here.
Sure we can assist you. Probably the best bet is to call the dealership directly. Rough hours are 10am to 6 pm daily open 7 days a week. Except holidays like the 4th of July. Phone (808)593-8699. Explain that you learned of them from MCO and what you would like. Let them know what size and color are good for you. You can purchase with your credit card and tell them to hold the item for you. Ask for no state tax since it is to be mailed to you. Tax is 4% here. Then tell them I will come to pick it up to send it off in the mail to you ASAP. They all know me at the dealership. They can tell by my bulging eyes- I look like a yellow puffer fish.

Then once you complete the purchase. Send me personal mail and let me know your address and voila! Presto changi.
And if you want to enjoy a bit of silly 70s culture from Hawaii check out Kikaider!

:smile: :smile: I will contact them on Monday. Do you know if they have several different styles? I know our local dealership does. I was hoping to get one that says MINI of Hawaii or something like that.

I guess I could check and see if they have a web site - duh right?

It has on the left chest a silk screened Mini wing logo in one color either black or white 3.5" wide and 1.75" tall.

We would be interested in the T-shirts - I wear a small (good luck finding that one eh?) and Mike would like a large. Color choices would be white, red, blue - no black or grey. We have enough of those colors - LOL!

Later on, after you get the shirts take a picture and post it here on this thread with your chili red MCS (assuming that is your car based on your sig art).

 

We'll post pictures as soon as we can

Thanks!

I was at the dealership today. One large white t-shirt no problem
Looking for sizes in the red. Will try to get one small and one large or at least one small.
The parts dept has them but they were not open on Sunday. Will check again tomorrow.
Stay tuned.

 

Thanks again!

Chow!

Donna,
I have one medium red MINI of Hawaii t-shirt. Unfortunately it's slightly worn already & I've become real attached to it. It brings back fond memories of the great people my hubby & I met back in April.

Aloha to all my Hawaii friends,
Lois

Donna/Mike-
The shirts are good. Colors include red, white, black, yellow for now.
checking sizes now. I'm be at the dealer on wed morning. Will confirm sizes today
and send you PM. Hopefully ship it on wed lunchtime then I will have the total cost for you.
Not too bad at all. Limited availability. Cannot post too much info at this time.-Or I will be hog tied.

 

Latka?
LAAAATKA, where are youuuu?!
You've gone "MIA" on us

 

I just stumbled upon this site (as advised by Aka), and noticed this posting regarding a MINI Club. For a while the postings seemed to have gone astray, but if you folks are still looking, I'd love to be a member.

Let me know!

 

keikilee,
Aloha and welcome to MCO. Yes you are in. We want you. We are still thinking of a great club name.
Check out the previous posts on the Hui name and make some suggestions. Put in your vote.

I like your name.
Motor On

 

so what in the world ever happened to this? i'm ready to do the bylaws and finish the darn paperwork myself already just to get this club going.

does andy still want to do this? if not, can someone with lots of time complete whatever needs to be completed to get the show on the road? The club doesn't need to do all of the stuff that Andy talked about in the first post....we can just get established, then talk details/events later.

I think it'll help to be an actual club and kick it off during the big June picnic. The group was HUGe at MoH this morning....so expect, we could get a big turnout in June as well. That would be an opportunity to get people signed up, etc.

Just a thought. I'll gladly do what is necessary to get this started if someone would tell me what to do.

 

How big was the group at MoH? Fifty cars? Twenty cars?

What kind of work needs to be completed? I guess in Andy's absence, the VP steps up to the plate, and that's me! IF we do something like this, we'll need a full slate of officers: Pres, VP, Sect'y, Treas and possibly some ancillary positions such as Driving Events Coordinator and Ombudsman. With the amount of problems members have been having, you'd need an experienced negotiator/investigator as a ombudsman.

We also need to figure out membership dues. IIRC, we sort of settled on $20 a year for membership dues. What members would get for their money is a membership card and a quarterly newsletter. So, we'd need to get a printer and someone that can do graphics for a card and newsletter design.
