M2C2 Members & Their MINIs

M2C2 Members Only Please

People have mentioned they want to get to know members a little better, so I though we should put together our own thread of people and their MINIs. Don't be shy!

George was so kind to suggest that I be the one to start this thread so here goes!

This is me with my current MCS at the Kinston Drag Strip in early September 05.



This is my first MC at the dealership (before the mods began).

Me in front of my old store. This is about a year and a half ago, though both the car and I look pretty much the same today.

Here is a picture of me and my son Austin on the way to Carolina Panther football game last year.

Like they say "nothing could be finer than to be at a Carolina Panther football game".



Here is a picture of my MINI at Lowe's Motor Speedway before the crowd arrived at the AutoFair.

Just for clarification, it appears that's a MINI AT the beach, rather than ON the beach!

Point taken . I did not look as closely as I could have. He's certainly on the dry side of the sand dunes and sea oats... It is beachFRONT

Yes, at the beach

Just a little clarification. Yes this was at the beach, Folly Beach to be exact . Since I got my MINI from MINI of Charleston, I had to motor around and visit the beach. :smile: More first day pics.

Hi,

My name is Steve Mezardjian and I'm a Motoring Advisor at Hendrick MINI and this is a shot of me with my pride and joy....Emma, a 2005 Cooper "S" with Anthracite R90 wheels, Premium Package, Sport Package, 6 speed limited slip Getrag transaxle, Panther Black leatherette interior with alloy patina dash and door trim, Cockpi Chrono pack and rear fog light.

I eventually would like to add a cold air intake and aftermarket exhaust down the road... For me, I'm a free wheeling single kind of care free guy (Cancer) who loves life and roads with lots of twists, hiking in the mountains, world travel, road racing, music, art and fine dining.

What is this a personal ad cut and paste from a Singles magazine?

Nice to meet you Steve, George speaks highly of you and nice car!

BTW, I'm the person George was talking about when he spoke to you about a used Cooper for my son. So treat me right
if you find anything. :smile:

I'm a fresh member of the club! Signed up last week (still so new I haven't received my member# yet.)

No pics of me and the Mini yet, nor the Mini in action... I've been too busy driving her. Nearing the 10000 mile mark now and still loving it. Picked up the Mini in Ohio to save about $1200 off what Hendrick was offering me (or wasn't offering me). I think I broke the break-in rules several times in the first 700 miles of my trip back!

I love adrenaline... hence the reason for my purchase! Love Skydiving, 1/4 mile sprints on the track, am a self proclaimed Victory Lane Karting master , and hopefully soon, will get the Mini out to an Open Track session.

Na, we won't be the first

There is a family of racers that has 3 already! Check out the "I've done lots of mods, but no power" thread in MINI Talk.

We're in the looking phase right now. It took a little bit of reality from the insurance company to cross the WRX STi off the list.

Edit: What's up with this page? It's so wide
