It's a bit away, but never too early to plan, besides I have to send the application in , within a few weeks...
BUT...
Columbia's St Patricks Day Parade is March 14th at 10 am.. lining up around 8... Would love to see a line of mini's out there.. representing M2C2 and the mini community!!
There are a few rules.. most importantly we cannot throw candy from the cars and there is a competition.. for the entries into the parade..
think luke would dye his beard copper orange and be our leprauchan for the day??
Anyway.. hope we get some great interest in this.. would be fun to show off our cars, and make others smile!

 

I've been wanting to do this in Asheville, but never got around to it...

So count me in!

 

I'll be there. I hope we can get a good showing for this. I think it will be good for the club.

 

I am currently on back up but will try and get someone to switch. Sounds like a blast!!!!

 

What I would like to do is, decorate the cars.. hopefully we can get some awesome ideas

 

I want to be a mug of green beer

 

think we should do "like decorations"? i really think this would be awesome for our club.. way awesome.. something fun

 

What we need to do is try to get the first three cars to be Green/White/Orange. Not sure if we have a member with a burnt orange though.

 

Haha! I'm with John. We could always just spray-paint someone's white MINI orange...

What kinda decorations were you looking for? Like shamrocks, pots of gold, etc.. magnets? Or more like what was done for Halloween?

 

Well it won't be mine

 

Cahmonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Art.. take one for the team..yeah lots of gold glitter glam.. and shamrocks and GREEN

 

I will agree to green BEER only

 

sighs.. where is your adventure?! ok green root beer it is..

 

Well, I don't think John will do it... Isn't it about time for another mod for your MINI anyway? What's a little color?

 

i agree.... but.. uhm.. mixing blue and orange... well then.. would make me look like im from the netherlands.. thus diminishing the whole irish thing we are supposed to be going for!

 

As Yogi Berra once said,"include me in!"
Actually, I think he said include me out but either way I plan on coming down for this. I'm with Art - I want a green beer. And no Carol, I won't paint my car orange.

 

Here's a small decoration idea--a leprechaun antenna topper:

TILLEY will be there (but in pepper/white not orange or green!!). I'll think up something for her. Maybe I'll bring up the rear as a big (open...i.e. top down) pot of gold. If we stagger the colors we will make up a gaint rainbow. We'll work on something.

 

I am going to send inthe application today.. woohooo lets do this thang!

 

Im thinking of putting a big Green and White Leprechaun hat on the roof of mine...just gotta find one now...maybe Luke has one I can borrow...

 

A recomendation from us re. antenna *****. While they have what appear to be some innovative ideas Stay away from the Antenna Ball Store and California Toppers!!!!!! They are the same people and they will rip you off. We have personal experience with them. They stole our money. We got it back only by contesting the charge to the credit card company.
The sites were owned/operated by a Dewayne Lytle in St. Louis, MO on Yale Ave. They are now operated by Kirby Lytle just down the same street. I wonder if they are somehow related. Duh! The contact number is 314/761-0832. The contact e-mail is TeamToppers@aol.com, although they have never responded to our e-mails.

 

Thanks for that tip... so hm.. will we see you Chris at the parade?

 

Would love to see a lot of cars for this, it would be very cool to be the headlines if we get enough cars from all over. Hope you can get switched Doc, would love to see you down here too!!!! John, can't wait to see you down here for this, we'll have to work out something for a big BBQ lunch or something afterwards!!!!

 

Party City has lots of 'stuff', but selling it fast. How soon can we know 'for sure' if we're in or not?? TILLEYwants a new outfit, but she couldn't wear it anywhere but the parade!! Have you got a feel for percent success at getting in? I'll remind Shaun (Lawman); maybe he can bring up some middle Georgia folks.

 

Thanks, Chris! Guess I'll skip that idea then. That site offered them for <$4 each. The couple of other sites I found that have them list them for $15-20 each. Hey, if anyone else can find these cheaply, please post the link.
