Saint Louis Mini Club, Motoring the way it ought to be!

 

Sounds like a good opportunity to meet up with some other MINI people.

I'll do a posting on Mid Tennessee MINIs Facebook page also.

 

Let us know what time you all are planning to be at the LMM on Sunday, maybe some of our club can meet you guys there.

 

Hey John, I think they are going to LMM on Saturday.

 

This sounds like a great trip you have planned! I would love to meet up with you all to tour the museum and whatever else you plan to do. Keep us updated on your plans, and if you need any recommendations for things to do in and around Nashville we can help!

 

Should be in the area around noon and will stop for lunch. Not sure where, but then off to LMM. After that check-in and then do whatever. If you guys have suggestions let us know...

 

Count me in for the museum and whatever else!

 

i should be able to make it! i work a block from there, neat cars there all the time!

 

What would be a good time for us locals to meet up with you all at LMM? Say maybe 1:30PM?

 

We hope to be there by 1:00, but traveling with a large group, it might be a little later. Looking forward to meeting you all!

 

We'll just bootgate in the parking lot until your group arrives.

 

I get off at 6:00 on Saturday, I can meet up after that. I'm also open Sunday.
