I live in Lexington, but work in Columbia. If you see an all black MCS with white decals on every piece of fixed glass it is probably me.

Well, that leaves me out. Loud noises and excessive bling frighten Tweety. You youngsters have fun though.

What do you see we get ourselves and collective families and go to dinner one night just so everyone can meet?

Anyone would be more than welcome to attend. I just know the ones I mentioned above are local.

Wings and Ale off Bush River, Flight Deck in Lexington, Smokey Bones in Harbison...... Just some places to offer up.....

'02 EB/W 17" SSR-GT1, Helix 15%, H-Sport swaybar, H&R Springs, Alta Blue CAI, 100K+

Hey Guys

I know that Mick is working on a MINI drive for the Columbia Chapter. He was scouting out the location yesterday. Mick should be posting details soon. The drive will include several chapters. Details coming soon.....

If you all meet for dinner on Mondays or Wednesdays I would be glad to join in. Work has me in Columbia on Mondays and sometimes on Wednesdays. I am driving about 800 miles a week on the MINI now. I am trying to catch up with Jack.

George

I could be in.

BTW - I saw a Mini in the Vista last week, with what looked to be a little tuned. Lightweight wheels, etc. It was (If I remember correctly) Indi Blue and White.

If that is any of you guys, or whoever else is around the vista. If you see and all pepper white, R90s, tint, and driving lamps, dat's me. My business is located right down in the middle of the Vista.

Later

Do I hear "road trip?"

I might consider a run to Columbia for dinner.. Maybe a visit to the zoo first? I know Tweetie's Mom and I have discussed it as a motoring event for the Greenville Chapter..

Hey you Columbia guys, when is the best season for visiting Columbia Zoo? I heard the landscaping there is awesome!

We go to the zoo all the time.
I would say, not season, but heat....

Hey Agile. Describe your mini, anything to look out for?
I have seen several Electric Blues lately. As a matter of fact, I saw one Friday, parked in front of Groucho's on Forest Drive.

You may have not seen mine, due it's ghostly appearances.
It's like a vapor. Moves very quickly, and darts around a lot....

--- Oh yeah, my business is right across the street from *****'s on the lady street side.

I am up for Flight Deck. I have a pretty busy schedule between work and autocross/track events on the weekends, but if you decide on a dat I'll try to be there.

Hey Joe, tell me about the autocross stuff you are doing - is it local?

I have been thinking of getting into it.

-- I say we all meet down around *****'s or something after work one day.
(Just not Wednesdays)

There are plenty of local events. I've been doing events all over the country this year. I'll tell you all you'll want to know about autocross at our get together.
