Tuesday, July 22, 7pm, Parker Sonic

Tuesday night Burgers at the Parker Sonic with the MINI folks. Mrs. Bean said she is interested, I will be there as well.

Sonic in Parker is on the Southwest corner of Lincoln and Jordan, hope to see all those in Parker, or the other surrounding areas around 7pm for a fun gathering before MITM

I put it on my calender. Of course, that would be me sans the Mini. The wait just might kill me.

Looking forward to meeting some enthusiasts!

Work at 7pm is just wrong, better not get in the way Even if you still have work to do, just take a break and join us even if for a little bit.

Seems like we have a huge contingency here in the Parker area. There is a couple that has a DS MCS in my neighborhood, they honk as they drive by, but I have never met them in person.

There's a blue mini with the package that has the checkerboard vynl just aft of the front wheels (checkmate?) in Parker. I had a nice chat with the guy for a little bit as the car wash near Lowe's.

Make sure you check out the inside, full custom leather, suede, and carbon fiber. The engine bay is being re-done for MITM, so not much to see there right now.

In the event folks haven't seen mine its |HÄÜLBÖÖTY|.

Oh, and I'm going to be talking to my other half about meeting for burgers next week.

www.europlates.com also has a test field, including tuv stickers . Most places are the same these days, I went with them as I have other friends locally that used them and had great results, and their mounting bracket is top notch, screws come with color coded caps if you don't use the mounting bracket, etc.

http://www.europlates.com/cust-ecc-german.php

No matter where you go through, both are a great option.

No, it says "SPOT ON" which is what my CO vanity plate says. You may hear a British person say, "wow, that's spot on." You see, it means "perfect" in England, where MrsBean was born, but here in America, if I come up behind you in my "cabrio" and you look in your rear view mirror, what's it going to say???? LOL !!!!!

Nice Plate. Does it refer to your MINI top, or the vert thread I just read where you were talking about driving with no shirt.

LOL your car can have no top and the driver can have no top, but then they both would have things flapping in the wind!!!!!
