Yeah, I'm lazy.....

I got my MINI over a year ago, but just now got around to posting my info...

My name is Richard and I've been on a few rides so far. Tweat Me to Some Twisties, Mount Evans opening run, and Deer Creek Canyon last week. Looking forward to MITM and some more great motoring! So, here it is:

WHAT is your MINI or Mini's name? None yet
WHAT color or colors is your MINI? Laser blue with white top and bonnet stripes
What options did you get on your MINI? Premium, Sport, Cold Weather, Convenience - This was a shop loaner so I didn't get to choose options, but it came with just about everything
WILL you be doing modifications to your MINI or Mini? Most definitely
WHERE did you get your MINI or Mini? Ralph Schomp (2635 miles)
WHY did you get a MINI or Mini? Because I could pay for the entire payment just in gas savings And who wouldn't want to drive a go-kart all over town!?

Hi Vicki! I know I have seen your car around as well. I noticed it one day as I was pulling into your parking lot at work (you guys are one of my customers ). It was parked up front near the entrance to building 2. The big sticker makes you stand out a bit!

I hope to make it Sonic this coming Tuesday!

Hoping for the first week of October. Ship gets in Cali on 9/28. I don't know how long at the VDC and then trucking it here will take. It is so hard to wait!

Congratulations you two. Now join MINI5280 and plan on coming on our Yalla Yalla ride on October 26th. You don't actually have to be a member, but you would get some member swag and the newsletter each month.
Also you might want to come by the English Motoring Conclave next weekend. Check out our club calendar for all our upcoming events. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...lendar.php?c=2
Congratulations again, looking forward to seeing you on the road.
Chuck

You realize that every time I see your NAM name I will think of Linda Ronstadt. That's OK though Rich because I really like Linda, but you're far less attractive and I doubt you can sing as well either.

Just in time too. This weekend - Picnic & a ride up Evans (see the calendar) and next month - Yalla Yalla.
You have excellent timing!

So I've been told! I'll see if I can make it. Right now, Trouble needs a bit of work before we go drive hard again (nasty rattling from the rear left suspension and a need for a fix with the exhaust too...), but perhaps next month? I'll keep an eye on here. Thanks!

Mini in Fort Collins

Hey everybody, my name is Al, and I got my Mini around the beginning of may (my sister in law named it Nygel). I live in Fort Collins, go to college, and work as a intern for Scottrade. I've been extensively involved in NICO(Nissan Infiniti Car Owners) from when I owned A G20, and I've been looking through the forums here for awhile. I haven't done anything to my car yet (I'm just a poor college student). I'd like to hang out with you all some time, Cheers!

We are in Fort Collins quite a bit. We'll be sure to give a wave. What does your car look like? We may have seen you already.

Hello everyone

My name is Michael and I just got my 04 MINI S last week. It seems like there is a great community here and I am looking forward to joining in.


WHEN did you get your MINI (or Mini)? Thursday September 25
WHAT is your MINI or Mini's name? Basil Exposition
WHAT color or colors is your MINI? Pepper White Black Roof
What options did you get on your MINI? Cold Weather, Premium
WILL you be doing modifications to your MINI or Mini? Already have a strut tower brace. Intake, stripes and skid plate should be here this week
WHERE did you get your MINI or Mini? New? Used? Johnson Auto Plaza in Brighton, Used 57000 miles
WHY did you get a MINI or Mini? I have always loved the Minis, even the older models. It finally all came together to where I could finally own one.
WHAT part of town will you be seen in? Northglenn, Thornton, Henderson
WHAT types of events would you likely be involved in? (choices are things like weeknight events, food rides, mountain rides, autocross, track days, weekend events, food only, tech talks, etc. Feel free to make up your own.)
I think all of those sound great!

WHAT can MINI5280 do for you? I think it would be great to meet new people and even give a hand wrenching from time to time.

Welcome to all new MINIs and owners. I look forward to motoring with you in the near future.

And for Sweethouse1 I'd also like to invite you to look at the Peerage of the Pepper White; a color specific club for us PW owners. (be sure to read the first and my last update post if you're interested)
