Calling all North/All NJ MINI Owners!

Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Ackerman, Motoring Advisor with Morristown MINI. I would love to start some MINI Meets, GTG's, Ralley's, ect in the NNJ area. Maybe a once a month thing. Nothing too serious, just meeting in a parking lot or park and hanging out. Unless I'm not in the know, I haven't seen or heard of any meets in the Essex/Morris area. Let me know if you are interested!

Stephen Ackerman

PS: This is NOT affiliated with my dealership, this is just something I want to do. I used to be into VW's and there were tons of meets and I miss going to those sorts of things. Would love to do the same with MINIs. Thanks again!

Sounds cool, I'm down just as long as dirt roads aren't involved.

Haha, no dirt roads this time, I promise. That ride almost ripped off my friend's E30 front lip haha.

I'm glad there is a lot of interest. I'm going to scout out a few places this week and keep everyone updated. This is going to be a once a month meet with maybe a ralley or two thrown in whenever I am given time off (not too often).

Thanks again, it's going to be a great summer!

OK guys, I think SONIC on Rt.46 in Wayne is a good meeting place....

I'm thinking once a month on Sunday afternoon. Let me know if this works or if you guys have any other ideas.

Count me in,

A little longer of a trip for Some but the Chatterbox up Augusta is a pretty cool place also, they do a muscle car show every Saturday, maybe we should do a Mini Show on Sundays haha

Hey guys sorry I've been a bit MIA recently. It's been super busy at work. I'm going to talk to the manager of Sonic next week to make sure it's cool if we all show up.

It's going to be once a month on a sunday afternoon. I will update soon!

Hey Steve, I just bought my Cooper S from your dealership - I should be picking it up next week!

Let me know if you need a hand with the rallys - I founded the Mid-Atlantic Solstice Club (MASC) and the Mid-Atlantic Solstice/Sky Club (MASSC) - we have 95 members in NJ/NY/PA/DE and I have routes in my Garmin that are top notch. I'd love to share our Skylands Rally route with you all - we do a lunch stop @ the Chatterbox.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and getting my Midnight Black mini!

hey!

That would be sweet if we could have an organized meet at Sonic. Keep in mind, Sonic gets packed packed packed! It would be a good idea to confer with the manager ahead of time. Lets get a date soon!

And that's a good thing! I stopped a MC tonight to ask the driver how she liked the car. It's BOOT! she said. Ok, I don't speak MINI yet, so does it mean awesome?

I'll be @ the Chatterbox on Saturday... gonna test the S on some of the roads around Augusta before the show. Are there any Cooper folks at these shows or is it generally an oldie night?
