ummm...I don't work on Sunday, so I actually might be intereted in going. PM me with some more details and we'll see.

 

Oh and HOPEFULLY *fingers crossed* I'll be ordering a lovely package from Detriot Tuned that with HOPEFULLY be here by then...maybe that stuff can go on

 

How many of you can meet us at the Starbucks at Garners Ferry across from the Target shopping center at 6pm on 27 June? We're getting together there and then going to the Maurices Barbeque Piggy Farm by 7. Come on over, and get together with us!!!

 

I could be there.

 

Would be great to see ya there. There will be at least 5 Minis there about 6pm. Lilruffcat will be there, shes the VP for the Columbia Chapter of M2C2.

 

Maybe some of you in Columbia can help me find something out. During WWII, my father was stationed at an Air Force base in Orangeburg that trained pilots. For years, I have been trying to find the name of this base. Maybe some of you have parents that may recall the name of the base. I would really appreciate it if someone can get me that info. Thanks

 

Check this link out. I think you'll find it here: http://www.thestateonline.com/histor...0050814_D4.pdf.

This is an interesting publication, too: http://bevhoward.com/ycltf.htm.

 

I looked into finding the information for you. Seems that the old air force base there is now Methodist Oaks Retirement Community.
In the history of Methodist Oaks, they make reference to a training site that now hosts this community. It was for WW II airmen from Canada and the United States.
Their number is: 803-268-1707-- Hope this helps.


Tirewarmer, would love to see you there, we are going to have a blast!~

 

First link crapped out; but second one worked. Thanks it was Hawthorne Field. What's even cooler, I went into Methodist Oaks website and in the history section, was a picture in which my father is in.

Thanks.

 

Glad we could be some help!

 

This thread blew my mine when I (finally) saw it. I've been trying to figure a way to get all the MINI's I see around Columbia together, and here's all kind of talk about it; then I noticed all the first two and a half pages were three years old. The Columbia chapter of M2C2 just had a great meeting at Maurices Bar-b-que. If any of the Columbia people happen to pick up on this thread...let's get together!! That parking lot behind Sonic's on Harbison Blvd. might be a great first spot; four or five restaurants within walking distance from the lot. Pick a night and time and do it a few times until we draw a crowd then we could start moving it around. The Greenville chapter tells me during the week draws more cars; say Thursday nights starting around 7pm?? I'm going to get on the Owners Lounge director and get all the cars listing an e-mail address in Columbia; give them an e-mail and go from there.
Any interest, post and let's meet. My MINI is "TILLEY", a 2007 pw cabrio. I'm affraid I'm not a "tuner" but my wife and I love to motor. Come back

 

It sounds like you need to buy your wife her own MINI, and mine just happens to be for sale fo $18,999 :
