Met a nice woman in a HO MCSC at Lincoln Station today. Gave her a MINI5280 card and invited her to join the club. She said that her & hubby were soon to join.

As for MINI5280 sticker - rear window, side window or front glass as RUDEBOX has done. Looks good right up front!

Welcome Timmer89!!! Look forward to meeting you at a meeting or event. Any chance of coming with us on Friday for a ride? I don't work Friday's so it works for me this time. Congratulations!!!!!

 

Darn it, oh well, at least you got Bean... I was so suprised that a local in Parker had it... it really is suitable for your car, as the original Mr. Bean car was yellow too

 

Actually, my car isn't named after Mr Bean -- it's all about COFFEE! my favorite drink is Java Monster's Mean Bean -- so he's named Bean after Mean Bean drink!

 

LOL!! cute!! I bet i'm not the only one who thinks he is named after Mr Bean though I was going to get MRSBEAN for my mini (now named dorothy lol) but decided on SPOT ON instead
