Dam this forum is dead! Do Nor-Cal Mini owners get together any more? Meets? Events?

Is there another online forum?

 

I wonder the same thing as well.

 

check on Norcal Mini or Redwood Empire Mini (REME) web site's, but your right it's been real quite.

 

Well check out MINI Thunder III on Feb 19 at Thunderhill. There will be a lot of MINI stuff happening there. All MINI/Minis are welcome even if you are not entering to drive. Free admission for MINI/Mini owners that want to come out as guests/spectators. Come out as a spectator and enjoy the day. Demo rides on track, parade laps at lunch, photo shoot at lunch, view the track from various locations, bring a camera and meet up with loads of other Mini enthusiasts.

Also our Shasta Minis group has been very busy. Maybe a bit too far north for many of you. We have a full calendar of events.

 

I just moved to San Jose, i see many Minis and i was at Safeway (by camden ave) and i saw a group(4) of minis parked but i guess they did not know each other. Just people buying groceries.

 

The Minis are everywhere in Silicon Valley....

I see a lot in SF as well....

 

You've pretty much summed up my experience as a recent transplant to Silicon Valley. I easily count 10+ MINIs on my 20 minute commute every day. Here, the MINI is cheap BMW... aka shiny appliance. :(

 

I see most of them lady driven. I try to wave but most people just speed away... My gf tells me I'm a weirdo now.

 

This morning I saw 4 minis on my 35 mile route into work (Tracy to Hayward) which is the most I have seen so far on my way to work. Each one was driven by a man including me that makes 5.

 

I just drive 17 from San jose to Watsonville and then my other commute is San jose to salinas 101. I don't see many coopers untill I hit 85 by San jose.

 

WOW! Up here in Redding (Shasta) it see several around town each day and they all wave back. I'd say I see about 4-5 going to and from town which can't be more than about 8 miles round trip. Not sure what's up in the Southbay.

 

I always wonder if the other Mini owners I see some times are on this forum. Maybe we need a Nor-Cal Mini Spotted thread.

 

That be sick. Most areas do have spotted section.

 

I was at a craft shop in Sunnyvale and parked head to head with a cute Mini. Waited around for a few minutes and no show. I would like to get together and share the fun.

 

On my way into work today, counted 10 Mini's on 880 - I commute from Milpitas to SJ (Union and 85). I'd be down for a group drive BUT do not believe in having to join a "club" and pay any dues to be able to get together.

 

I found this to be interesting.
