I don't know of any good motoring roads around Anderson. At least nothing compared to Saturday! Usually this is an eat "get to know other MINI's and their owners" for 2 or 3 hours...

Trainman,

You're a brave man. "McMINI Club" will have BMW and McDonald's lawyers chasing you. (I know you're safe, just kidding)

It was nice meeting you at the German rest.

See ya,
JS

:evil: They hadn't better come after us. We named it McMini Mini cuz our first two meetings were held at McDonalds in Easley and we were a very small group, hence "McMini Mini Meet". Hope to see you there. I've met with a manager at Fuddruckers and have made arrangements to have a section of the resturant reserved for us. He is even going to see if he can rope of the front parking lot for us. I only wished I had asked about a discount on the burgers!

I was just kidding. As I understand your group, it's not a formal club with a federal ID and dues, rules, etc, but rather a friendly get-together. I wouldn't be too worried.

I can't make it, but yall have fun!

See ya,
JS

Welcome aboard! I heard that Century got in 30 MINIs last week, and 23 of them were customer orders. I'll keep my eyes open for you Motoring! I'll be the BRG/W MC with DRL's and bonnet stripes waving frantically..

Looks like we're going to have to good turnout for this meeting. Can't wait to meet all the newbies.

I passed a silver Mini from Virginia yesterday on I85 heading North into Greenville, SC. He waved. I waved. It was a perfect Mini moment. Aren't those Mini moments swell?

Wave,
I'm all for meeting, motoring, tailgating, etc. but I just don't want to deal with that traffic congestion. Tweety needs space to spread her wings.
Congratulations on the pending arrival. Your first?

Trainman,

Go Easley!! yeah, Century was BOOKED last week with deliveries, i couldn't even call in to talk to anyone during the week! Good thing the cars arrived late in the week that they did (on the 21st), because that monday, there was a HUGE flood in the back lot, and THIRTY CARS were either destroyed or damaged..... oh HELL would be paid if my car made it all the way across the pond to get messed up in greenville!!! haha.....

Anyways, I'll cya at Fudruckers!!! Without giving away too much about my 'show and tell' item, I'll be explaining how to see more on the road and save money doing it - damn these dark roads in the upstate!!! I'm used to DC traffic lighting and not NEEDING two sets of HID Xenon lights!

EDIT - almost forgot to mention that I'll be bringing one of my business partner's out there with us I think, and we'll explain a little bit about where the new direction our subsidary company, Fast Lane Tuning will be going.... But that's much later.... hope to see a bunch of people out there!!

So, do we have any of the m2c2 executives coming? Looks like you'll be missing a golden opportunity to pass out membership forms if you're not! hehe

Actually I was just wondering, since it was one of you guys that suggested we move to Fuddruckers out that way.

I liked the way the wheels sparkled in the streetlights as you were leaving. BTW, why the name change, Mr. Froguts?

No one ever seems to use FrogGuts either and Adrianne liked it better!
