We got to do it again sometime. I had a blast and learned some new things. Now I got some ideas going through my head on what to do next.
It was nice meeting everyone

It was great meeting all of you. Thanks Port for putting it all together. I really did not know where all the flak came from. But the important thing is, a group of owners got together to share their enthusiasm. And at the end of the day, isn't that what it's all about?

Hey, thanks all you guys for showing up! It was great fun and we will have to do this again real soon. I was even thinking maybe doing something like this next week! Well, i only got 2 more weeks before i take off for Portugal Even my wife had fun, and she usually doesnt get these car meet events!

Hey, has anyone ever been to or heard of "Van Gogh's" in Union ? Supposedly its a really good coffee shop/bakery. I prob misspelled it, but i will try to find the place and see if the parking lot is decent to accomadate a few of us.

Enjoy!

I heard Van Gogh's Ear Cafe is very good. Can you check if they have ample parking space?

Hey Mk3 at least you got some pics. Thanks.

Vic, check out that other coffee shop and let us know. Like i said as long as its paved and has room for all of us. I don't care where we meet. Its all about the people and cars. In that order i think.

^ I totally agree with you. Its all about being in good company

Mk3, nice pics! I didnt even think to bring my camera, maybe the next meet i will bring mine too.

Ok guys, my wife says she has been to this other coffee shop Van Gogh's in Union, but it was years ago. She knows where it is and we plan to go there prob tommorrow nite or tuesday. We'll be going in the wifes car and i will scope out the parking lot and surrounding area to make sure its a good meet up place for us Mini'acs!

Hey guys, I just read through the thread and I'm sorry I missed out on last weeks meet. I'm usually just reading and never post but you guys seem like a cool group of people and I don't know anyone else in the area w/ a Cooper. I live in Bridgewater but I am originally from Rahway so I know that area really well. So if everyone wants to do another meet, I'm in! And I don't care what the place is or what their corporate agenda is! LOL.

What time? I could be down for meeting at this place. I think I went on a date there one time years ago.

Yes, yet another IB/W MCS. I had little choice in color... Would've rather it be triple black, but what can you do.

Sorry guys!!!

Well when i last logged into this site this morning, i noticed there didnt seem to be much interest/responces in meeting tonight, so i went and did something else with the wife.

I could meet Monday or Tuesday nite if anyone here is interested. Wednesday we have the 4Th holiday, then thursday i have to visit family in CT for the weekend. Hopefully those interested will see this before it happens.

So how about Monday or Tuesday Evening of this week ? Anyone ???

Well I still havent had a chance to figure out where that Van gogh's place is! I reallyt want to check it out, however it looks like it will have to wait till i get back. So for now, im stuck going to the same few coffee shops that i know around here

Well, i'll be going to the Linden Starbucks tommorrow nite (tuesday) around 8pm after my workout. If anyone cares to join me and is free, please do so!. Otherwise i'll just hangout for 30min or so with my latest car mag and my Boston Terrier

Thanks for posting the adress Chan

Its also otherwise known as rte 1&9, right across from the old GM plant in Linden.

I had to run an errand this morning in Union, and wouldnt you know it, i found "Van Gogh's Ear cafe". Its right off Morris ave, but theres only street parking and they dont have a parking lot so thats a no go.

See you guys at 8pm @ Starbucks
