Mini of Charleston is sponsoring a tail gating party.. the tickets for the game, and parking are FREE! This sounds like alot of fun. There will be a dedicated parking area for MINIs only!!! The game is USC against University of Georgia!!


We can meet at Starbucks on Garner's Ferry Rd @ 2 p.m. and motor on over together.
This will be alot of fun, I hope that we can see alot of support for this... as always any gather of a bunch of minis is a BLAST! If you would like to go.. pls post here, or call Mini of Charleston and speak to Robbie, and get on the list!!!

 

Seeing as I seem to have some time on my hands. I will be going to visit family in CA. Have fun see you all soon.

 

You Take care, John, and let us know if you need anything. Have a great trip, and will see you soon.

 

I wonder if I can recruit one of the guys from my office for the half-court toss? Would that be considered cheating?

 

Yikes!!! You not being from around here, you may not know about the Clemson/carolina thing. I'd break out is some sort of hives if I went anywhere near chicken u. I'd have to pull for the dogs and have to fight my way out. Sorry but my blood runneth orange (I really, really wanted an orange MINI cabrio, but they didn't make it in '07)!!! I'll have to catch you on the next run.

 

you can put on orange facepaint for a disguise and we'll protect ya Mac!!!!!

 

o.k. I give up, football is over is this basket ball? If so, well I just don't understand it. Overgrown guys trying to hit a basket they can dunk? No its not for me but now tailgating I am all for it but have no desire to go to a game. Won 4 tickets to Charlotte Pro game and gave them away. Need some good spiked starbucks to get me there.

 

Wow! Sounds good. Count David and me in ... thanks to MINI of Charleston for putting this together for us. What a nice treat!

 

If I show up I will have to root for the Dogs. I hope everyone understands. :-)

 

Im wearing an orange sweatshirt.. not rooting for anyone.. but there for fun!!! but ocullr.. if you want.. ill pretend to root for georgia..

 

I called MOC and spoke to Carol, So I got my reservation in...

Cool, can't wait to see ya there. I'm not much of a basketball fan, but I think it will be fun anyway...gotta work on my free throws and half court shooting..

 

I KNOW I said I would like to do this - but, alas, work and the scheduling gods have once again intervened. We will be in Birmingham
Have fun and we'll catch the next trip for sure.

Regards,
S&L

P.S. nice video Carol - I owe you now

 

Does anybody know the guy that tows a grille behind his MINI? I think he is a professional chef and we thought it would be pretty cool to have him cook for us.

 

Well that would make two of us there. :-)

 

I wanted very much to have a chance to meet some other mini owners.

However when I responded to the e-mail that Mini of Charleston sent me about the game they said I was not invited because I did not buy my Mini from the Charleston dealership. How Rude! Why did they send me an e-mail inviting me?

Did all of you purchase your Minis from Charleston?

I was REALLY looking forward to this Saturday. Will any of you possibly be meeting somewhere else in Columbia?

 

Hey granolaeeter,

I appologize for the rudeness you experienced. Currently I am trying to find out who responded to you in such a way, but in the mean time I would like to make things up by guaranteeing your attendance to the USC event if you would still like to join. All I need to know is how many tickets you will need. Let me know if I can do anything else. Also, the easiest way to reply is by contacting my direct line @ 843-402-6308. Please accept our sincerest appologies.

 

I'm quite surprised. I did not receive an e-mail; I called them, based on Ruffcat's post. I did not buy my MINI from Charleston. I did not ask them about it, nor did they ask. Do you have the name of the person with whom you spoke? Perhaps this is a misunderstanding. I have no qualms about calling down there to see what's what. I don't want to point a finger, but if you were misinformed, I'm sure they'd like to know who, so they can correct the misunderstanding.

 

I didn't see MINI of Charleston' post here. Good show! I thought it must be a misunderstanding. Thank you for sponsoring this event. We are looking forward to it.

BTW, I do not know the man who tows a grill behind his MINI, but will see if I can possibly find out.

 

Charleston Mini RAWKS... my first mini i bought in Germany.. the second i bought in Charleston.. because of how nice they were when it came to me bringing the German mini in the day we got her off the ship.. good bunch there kudos!!!!!!
Hm.. that dude with the grill was at the Dragon.. but im not sure who's it is see you all Sat!!!!
And yes we are meeting prior to the tail gate at Starbucks.. garners ferry rd near target!! at 2 pm!! woohooooo do they have touchdowns or homeruns in basketball?

 

Just an update on Mini of Charleston:
A very nice fellow called me today and told me that there had been a misunderstanding. We are going to the tailgate party and I really appreciate the fact that the dealership took the time and trouble to follow up on this issue - Thanks again!

 

Charleston!!!!

 

Great news, cant wait to meet you there! Should be a lot of fun.

 

I looked, and the only hit I could find looking for a guy who drives a MINI, hauling a grill was a 2004 reference to someone named "Bill" in the Pittsburg, PA MINI club. Apparently, he converted an old Mini into a grill and hauled it with an MCS ...

 

I called the number at Charleston MINI's; got an answering machine; left a message about wanting two tickets for the game, but got responce. Same thing happened when I left a message there wanting to participate in the driving event in Savannah, GA. They finally called me with an appointment time 30 minutes before my assigned time (I'm 3.5 hours away!!!) I'm hoping they got the message about tickets and are bringing up an extra two. TILLEY is planning on being there (go DOGS!!)
