The Charlotte Branch of M2C2 (The MINI Motoring Club of the Carolinas) is hosting a meet and greet to be held from 2:00PM to 4:00PM on Sunday May 16th. The location is Jillan’s at Concord Mills Mall off exit 49 on I85 North of Charlotte.

After using Jillian’s for dinner in conjunction with M2C2 Lowe's Motor Speedway driving event last September; Jillian’s is offering us a freebie. We will have 2 hr. of open bowling and complimentary hors d’oeuvres. We also will be allowed to park our MINIs on their patio out of harms way as we did last September.

Everyone is welcome-members, non-members and any one that would like to meet their fellow MINI owners in the surrounding Charlotte area. We would like this event to become a monthly event rotating around the Charlotte area. We would like to discuss ways of becoming more MINI active in Charlotte.

Please bring the whole family including children, as there are plenty of things to keep everyone busy at Jillian’s as well as throughout Concord Mills Mall.

We will have a special guest, Terry Stevens, representing Hotchkis Performance. He will have a MINI equipped with H-Sport sway bars available for your inspection.

If you plan to attend please post a reply here so that we may keep Jillian’s updated with the head count.

Several of us are planning to stay at the mall afterwards and have an early dinner together. Please feel free to join us. Dinner will be individual checks with everyone seated together.

If you have any questions please contact me at george@m2c2.org.

Glad you can make it. I think I saw that you were at the Dragon from one of the post. I am sure I saw you there, just have not met you yet.

I am interested to see your MINI with all the mods.

 

I'm lookin foreward to meeting you as well. I was at the Dragon but didn't do as much driving due to the weather. See you in Charlotte.

 

I'd like to join y'all, but unfortunately I have a wedding to attend. (Maybe i should get my priorities in order)

 

I'll see you all there.

 

Charlotte Meet & Greet Update

Everything is shaping up nicely. I stopped by and talked with the staff at Jillian’s today. They are very excited to have us park our MINIs on the patio. When you come in the mall drive up to Jillian’s and you will see us. You will be able to drive your MINI onto the patio. I was also able to talk Jillian’s into more appetizers and some free game cards for the kids.
We will also have a quite area to go to and listen to Terry Stevens talk about the H-Sport sway bars while others are bowling. Terry is also bringing some give-aways.

If you are an M2C2 club member and have not received your membership card we will have it there for you. We will also be giving out to each member the new official M2C2 club car window decal thanks to the efforts of Smokey and LJ.

Our friends from Century MIN have provided some new MINI posters for everyone.

If the weather is good Jillian’s said we can eat outside on the patio for those staying for dinner and watch our MINIs while we eat.

Everyone is welcome so please come join us, club members and non-members.

The official count is over 20 MINIs with another 7 or 8 still not sure.

See you Sunday

George, Thanks in advance for all your hard work and effort getting this event together, see you guys this sunday.

 

Just one question. Where's Jillian's once I get to the mall??

 

Never mind, I think I found it....
Hey everyone! I had a great time. It was nice to meet new faces and get re-aquainted with some familiar ones!

 

Good sleuthing T-man!

Nicely done George, we had a great time and the little bit of tech talk was a nice touch.

Now we're ready to attack LJ's car once he gets his bar!

We did have a crowd up on the patio, did anyone get a head count?

 

Hey gang. We had a great time this weekend. Thanks to George for putting it together! I took a few pictures, you can see them

here.

Really liked having the H-sport vendors there as well. It is nice to see that the club is going strong now!

Travis

 

Thanks for the opportunity to meet a lot of you. Was quite interesting to meet the people behind the names. :smile:

I thought it went rather well, if hot.
