Have been driving between Parker and Colorado Springs the last couple of months. There always seems to be a MINI around Parker/Highlands Ranch and growing in numbers. But I am truly amazed at the number of MINIs in CS, Manatou...and flying on I-25.

Just bought a new home in Woodland Park and expect to be waving at a bunch of you from now on. Along with the realization that Schomp service is now 2 hours away....

So, am curious...who is on here from the Springs?

Sandy

 

Sandy,

My wife and I live in the Springs and both of us have Minis. My wife has an 03 Indi Blue/White MC and I have an 05 Chile Red/Black MCS. What color is your Mini?

Jeff

 

Hey all!

I live in the Springs, close to Wasson High School. I drive a BLU/BLK with stripes 2003 MCS. Hope to see you around. The drive to and from Woodland park would be a sweet daily drive.

Check out MINI5280.org for info on the Colorado MINI club.

It is 2AM and I am browsing NAM for interesting threads when lo and behold I spot a "who is from the springs?" thread. Its about time we did a "who is from the springs?" thread.

I am from the springs.

See sig for car details. I have met Brad and that is about it.

Are you around Briargate often? I know I have personally stuck a 5280 card in the window of a CR/B MCS parked outside Albertsons this summer.

 

Sandy

What and excellent excuse to take the back road. Hwy 24 to Hwy 9 Through Fairplay, Breck, and Frisco to I-70. This road and the scenery will make your trip worthwhile.

Sean

 

I didn't pick my 05 up until Nov. So it wasn't me. I used to go to 5280 meetings a year ago, but then got too busy. I will try to go to the Dec meeting.

Jeff

 

Hmm. I wonder who it was. CR/Blk with stripes. Who are you?

 

2004 EB/Blk MCS

 

Are you often in the Briargate? I have seen an EB/Blk several times in Briargate. I have spotted a couple of them. One with a female driver and another driven by a male. I think one is tinted and the other is not tinted.

 

Yes I am in Briargate though I haven't seen another EB/Blk in the Springs

 

Male or female?

 

Southbound I25 near Fountain, about 2:20? We were on our way back from the Track at Pueblo....

Wow, bunches around the area and looking forward to hearing about adventures, roads, etc. Thanks for all of the responses and my apologies for not getting back on til now....am in the pain of moving. Oddly, the responses are not being flagged/forwarded to my email.

'03, IB/IB, UJ flag, driving lamps, chrome. Met a couple from the Springs this summer on a 5280 drive.

How do you guys handle service with Schomp? Just got the 39.1 upgrade and 10,000 service. Hoping all is MINI well with being 2 hours away.

Am on my way to Woodland Park today for a couple of appts. Shall see how the drive goes with roads still a bit iffy and some snow possible.

Sandy

A girl....totally addicted to my MINI.....and mostly likely the eldest of the group

 

Sean,

It was you and your wife I met last summer on the drive. Checked your website and you have a couple of pics with our cars.

Sandy

 

Still brings a smile to my face, always will.

JPS

 

Cracks me up.

Yep that was me. I saw all of you. I hope you could see me waving. We were on our way to Farmington, NM for the a sort of late Thanksgiving with my family. I got to put my new snow set (tires/rims) to good use. Great fun. Never been down that way before. It was quite beautiful. I25 to US160 to 550.


Sandy

I remember you. Didn't you have a Corvette club member tagging along with you?


Sean

 

It's not too much closer, but if you ever want service done, I'm happy to help. We are south of C-470 on Sante Fe up in Littleton. You can cut up through Castle Rock.

(End shameless shop plug now)

But you don't have to mention his name.

Well hello all you foxy COS Mini/MINIs. I am proudly owned by an 04 MCS. Indi Blue. No stripes or any thing that would make it stand out except that my antenna ball is a cone. Yup just like those construction cones you see on the side of the road. :smile: Working on getting nifty paint job but that's on the back burner thanks to my hubby and I buying a new home.

Just got back from Webb Motorsports where I got myself a new pulley for my birthday. My normal dealer for regular service is Baron in Kansas City. Going there this weekend for my baby's first tune up. Sniff sniff. They grow up so fast!

Motor on dude!

 

Randy mucho close. Was an absolute breeze to get to his new shop!

 

Is it the guy down there in CSCO??
