Colors, Names, Details...

Ok, so I see all these MINI's around the Twin Cities, and I'm sure I've emailed and/or chatted with more than a couple of you. This would be a start toward a directory, so I theoretically might know at whom I'm waving.

My name is Mike
Car's name is Puck (although by now we are interchangeable)
He's a 2004 MCS
BRG/W with bonnet stripes and driving lights.
White Cooper wreathes on each "hip"
Sunroof sans flag or other decoration... for now.
White S-Spokes
Shark fin Nav antenna

I think that's enough to be able to do a field identification.

Now. Who's next?

Mini - Nigel
Nigel is a 2003 PW/B MC. Only way to distinguish me from other on exterior is the Great Britan badge on front grill. I have a Let's Motor sticker to put on the back window if it ever is nice enough again to clean the car. Maybe this weekend.

Was that loudest stereo, or loudest color?

C'mon folks, I know there are more MINI's in the area than that

I suspect that there are a pile of people who still haven't signed on here. Perhaps threats? Bribery? Coersion?

I saw an EB/EB the other day. I think it was an MCS. Who's that?

My name is Aaron

My 2005 BRG/W MCS isn't out on the road yet, but should be soon. She's currently sitting down in Bloomington awaiting her inspection so I can go pick her up. Her name is Maggie and will recognizable by her white bonnet stripes, sunroof, fog lights, and xenon heads for now. I'm hoping to get driving lights eventually, but thats going to have to wait.

Excellent choice in color If you want to check out driving lights, I have a 2004 with the same spec. Congratulations on the wait being almost over.

My sig really says it all... Just ordered some side stripes, soon to be installed. :smile: That's it for add-ons so far (except the Actual Size decal).

I'm not in the Cities, but visit frequently.

Hey guys I have some more bad news, I'm going to be in College for the Homecoming this weekend plus my parents are coming in to visit me. Hmmm, I'll try to be at midway on Sunday though, I wont be able to race this time, I have really STRICT schedule this weekend. So much for all of the 5 page papers due a week from today.

Zak - The Midway autocross is on Saturday this weekend. Sunday is down in Winona.

Valley Fair was a blast, it was a really fast, fun course. I spun my car twice in one run That's embarrassing

I can introduce myself, but I am never in the Cities in the Mini unless it's for an autocross...

I'm Roger B.
my mini is called "the mini"
it's a blue and white '04 Cooper with the sport suspension plus, sport seats, and multi function steering wheel. And it's sweet.
it doesn't have any mods, except a set of sticky tires for autocrossing.

Hey all!

Name: Dave & Stacy
MINI: Molly is our 2005 CR/W MCS.
Location: Trempealeau, WI (just across from Winona)
Misc.: Only real identifying marks are the white bonnet stripes and white X-Lites. Though she'll have her JCW badging sometime in the next month (whenever the kit decides to show up).

Who is going to the Auto-X in Winona on Sunday? Angie...you'll be there...right? I still haven't convinced Stacy to run. I think she'll probably wait til the next one.

Yeah, we'll be there for a bit. Maybe Stacy and I can do our novice runs together next time around. Sounds like there will be a few more MINIs in town for the day!

Maybe we should get together for dinner or something? Green Mill is close by.

adame, I've already got plans for Saturday but the scavenger hunt sounds like a blast. If I would have know about it a month ago, I'd be in for sure!

After re-reading my last post, my invitation to dinner didn't come out right - what I meant was that all of us MINI people should get together for dinner!

I didn't read it like that, but it'd be hard for me to go anyhow. If my wife isn't there, she'd like me home ASAP after the autocross, and if my wife IS there, she'll bring our dog with her, so we couldn't really go to a restauraunt anyhow
