I'm new to the site, but local(Springfield). If it's cool, I wouldn't mind coming down checking out some MINI's. I'm considering buying a Clubman S and would like to speak with MINI owners and check out their rides. Also, I'm always down to grab a drink and BS.

Max, i was thinking sometime next week. This way it gives people enough notice. So maybe next wednesday, thursday or Friday. That would be Dec 12, 13 or 14th

Sikbyrd350, no problem come on down! We usually meet at the Linden Starbucks located at Aviation Plaza on Rte 1&9 anytime after 6PM-ish

Hi guys,

I am back from my trip to the UK. Spent a week in crappy weather in Cardiff, Wales. Got to see a lot of MINI's but did not have time to checkout the local dealership. I wanted to see a Clubman in the flesh. Oh well, maybe next time.

I still need to find out if I can make it on Friday.

I didn't make it as arrived on the last day of the World Rally. Hopefully I can arrange another junket trip next year.

since I'm the FNG, just look out for a short guy with dark hair wearing a black RALLIART Jacket. BTW, what time do most of you guys show up?

We usually start around 7, and just hang out and wait for other people to come.

Anytim after 6PM-ish, but yes most owners show up around 7PM.

Since i organize this, i'll be there by 6PM or so. Also, there is plenty of level parking there for us to park next to eachother for those who havent been yet. Just look for the MINI's

Sometimes were there until 10-ish. The more guys show up, the more conversation etc, and before you know it Starbucks is closing

I remember when we did one of these Starbucks meets in the summer some of us were until 11pm one nite. I know this because they close at 11 and i remember seeing the guys close up but thats not the norm though

So im guessing Manny isnt going with his MINI or his beater car

Hopefully the snow doesn't put a damper on things. So far we're only gonna get 1"-2". So hopefully by Friday, the snow wouldn't be an issue.
