I'm picking OCT 18 :smile:

There seems not to be an official 1 day a year MINI day. Like Xmas, Holloween, Thanksgiving. I have given this a lot of thought. OCT 18 is perfect (OR the second Saturday in October).

First it is a great way to start the holidays :smile: Plus it's a great time to see other MINIs and start your xmas list (or holiday list - depending on religion).

FALL is an awesome time of year for the MINI. Their colors look great with the change of season. The tempature is not so hot for outdoor events.

WHY have a official MINI day - there are a lot of MINI clubs around the US (and world). This would be the 1 official day that everyone starts making plans for.

 

Sounds good to me.

 

Now I can also tell my wife to get me something for MINI day :smile:

 

Good Luck

 

How about a month later...November 18...Sir Alec Issigonis' birthday...

Just a suggestion... :smile:

 

Sir Alec Issigonis - Yes that is good because he was a contributor to the Mini. Born in November, passed away in October. I thought November at first but there is so much going on in the USA for Thanksgiving. So it lead me to October. You also nailed it, that's the 18th part :smile:

 

I like the idea....hope it come's together.

 

>>Sir Alec Issigonis - Yes that is good because he was a contributor to the Mini. ....

... and the Pope in Kinda Sorta Catholic ...

this is a great idea! .... and like you said, it's a wonderful time of year to plan drives and stuff like that ... it's on my calendar!

 

Sir Alexander Arnold Constantine Issigonis, British automobile designer who created the best-selling, economical Mini was born on November 18, 1906. He designed both the Morris Minor and the Morris Mini-Minor (the Mini), clearly demonstrating his time honoured automotive philosophy - to provide a vehicle that carried the greatest payload in the smallest practical space.

 

I like the idea of the 2nd saturday - October 11th....this happens to be my birthday (so i'm not quite as famous as sir alec - hehe) and is also the day of our MINI and Bimmer event in Texas so there will be a big celebration for on this day already - its perfect :smile:

 

I'll be happy with either Oct. 18 or Nov. 18....my MINI is supposedly going to be delivered sometime in October....and November 18 is my birthday too!!!

 

sounds good to me i second that

 

What about March 22nd. Wasn't that the day MINIs went on sale in the US (3/22/2003)?

November 18th sounds great to me...my birthday is on the 13th.

 

Here's one more vote for Nov 18

 

November 18th sounds good to me...as long as it's alright with BMW...

 

November 18 is sounding better with people's input. I did think that at first, just didn't to conflict with Thanksgiving plans. People seem so busy that time of year.
