George,

Sign me up for the show and dinner!!! Don't know if Pam will be with me or not. I'll have to ask her and let you know. Thanks for arranging this. I know it will be fun. Look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Eric

Sign me up George as a non-displayer, but as we discussed, as the hauler for the club.


PS I am really serious about putting a deposit down soon:smile:

Cheers,
Debi

Thanks, I have arranged for you to have an inside pass to bring in the shelter tent and coolers.

You may have your new MINI by 9/17.

Thanks
George

stock?

Do you think it would be ok to have a "stock" MINI there?

...although I may have some minor mods by then.

My daughter and I went to AutoFair there 2 years ago, (just to look) it was a lot of fun.

Sure it would be great to have your MINI there. It is hard to find any 2 MINIs alike. People always love to see all of the different color combinations that our MINIs come in.

Please let me know if I can add you to the list?

Thanks
George

George,

It just occurred to me to ask how much is the entry fee and what are the 4 catagories our cars will be judged in?

Mark, glad to see you'll be participating. It'll be good to see you again!

Eric

The good news is there is no entry fee. That is why is is so nice that M2C2 was invited to participate in the AutoFair. They are even paying for the trophies.

The trophies will be for our 20 MINIs with 1st ,2nd 3rd and 4th place. At this time I am not sure how the voting will work (I think only Dark Silver MINIs can win, just kidding). They may leave it up to the club. I will try and get an answer. The trophies will have the club name and AutoFair Sept 2005 as well as the place finish.

Basset

I have added you to the list.

Thanks
George

Count us in...

Hi George,

Count both me and Jeff in (TARZAN and JWM).

Will Loren's car be in the show? If so, he's a heavy contender for 1st place...

Thanks!

I miss my MINI sooooo much. As for the new one, the color will be a secret until the unveiling at my MINI delivery party. :smile: And of course, your all invited. More details to come.

Cheers,
Debi

George, put me down for one spot for sure, maybe two. Of course if the second one isn't needed, I'll only have the "Dark Silver Winner" there.

Congrats Debi, fantastic news!! And to think we didn't even know you were expecting, hope to be able to make the "Delivery" party.

Count me in!

I would love to have a space among my peers here at the Charlotte Motor Sportsway. I nominate mine as the numero uno of Pepper Whites! Thanks George!

Thanks Guys.
I may have to ask for more spaces, which would be a nice problem.

I have added you all to the list.


TARZAN
Yes Loren's MINI is going to be there and Steve Treece is going to detail it with Zaino for him. Steve will be there selling Zaino, he is always at the AutoFair.

Thanks
George

Hi George,
Count us in for at least one spot. I'd ask for two, but to be fair we should wait to see if any other M2C2's need the spot.
So, if there is still one available at the "cut-off" date , I'll bring our 2nd MINI.

Sounds like some more fun to be had!

Chris

Thanks Chris, I put you on the list.

It's great that we have had this much response since this morning. I will see how the next day or two goes. If this trend continues I will call and ask for a few more spaces.

Thanks for the support I know you will enjoy. There is always alot of 60's and 70's chevys at the AutoFair.
