Introduce Yourself Middle TN

A friend of mine told me there was a pretty decent sized Mini Cooper club around the Nashville area, and a quick google search confirms it.
A bit about me, my name is Rob, I'm 24, stationed at Ft. Campbell in Clarksville. I had always wanted a Mini cooper and I finally bought an 04 Cooper S about 6 months ago. Unfortunately, even after having the oil changed at 2k miles from when I bought it, it mysteriously ran low on oil and now has the knock of death and sits partially disassembled in my driveway. I'm hoping to use my tax return to get her running again because I sure do miss driving it. I hope once I get her going again, I'll be able to get in on any meetups you guys might be having. Looking forward to meeting some of you folks.

Welcome Robert. I actually added you a day or two ago to the FB page. Keep an eye on the Event Calender on the FB page. We do a dinner the first Saturday of every month. You might also cruise through the member list as we have several members in your area that convoy down for the dinners. Good luck on getting your ride going again and thank you for your service..

New guy here, just bought a 2010 MCS last week and i love it! I was test driving various makes/models for a couple of months and on a whim decided to drive this one and fell in love right away. I wanted soemthing fun and small, so i looked at a used Miata, a 350z, and a Fiat Abarth. I was pretty set on an Abarth, but when i test drove my Mini I had way more fun with it, than any other car I have ever driven. So, as its only been a week, all i have had time to do with it is drive to work and back and lurk around on here a bit. Thinking about hitting the Natchez Trace on Sunday and will be on the lookout for any local meetups on here!

Hi everyone. My name is Kella and just purchased my first mini - 2013 Roadster S. I found just what I wanted in Rockville Maryland and had a wonderful experience with my purchase. Flew into Baltimore Maryland and was picked up at airport. Once the paperwork was complete I was on my way back to TN. Had perfect driving weather and even got to put the top down as I neared home. Now I am looking for the local club that I can join and have fun with other mini people.

Hi New Sacred Cow,
Spring Hill has a TON of MINIs ~ and hosts an incredible MINI party in the fall. We, Middle TN MINIs, have a FaceBook page, where events are posted, etc. Great club, lots of fun people, lots of great cars. Fun rallies, monthly meets (usually culminating with food- because, honestly, we're a food club with a car in common).
I don't know how to get you from here to the FB page as it is a closed group, just so the world doesn't see what we're up to. https://www.facebook.com/groups/7747778889/
I also don't know if any of the Gurus of computer stuff have noticed you over here- I thought I'd at least let you know you're not falling on deaf ears <eh, what was that?>
(sorry, Daylight Savings time warped my brain)
Our illustrious leader, Jomo, is off with MINI USA learning about the next gen MINI- so he's out of the loop for a bit. I'll shoot Drew a message and see if he can help you get over to FB land.
Until then, enjoy, keep motoring and if you see a MINI... WAVE!

New to forums and Mini's
Live in Hermitage and always been a big car buff. Was looking for a nice fun convertible and a Mini just seemed like the logical choice as I wanted something fuel efficient yet fun but still roomy enough to haul some luggage if I wanted to take a trip in it. I work for a company that owns over a hundred dealerships including Mini of Nashville so was scouring the pre owned stock and finally found a nice Yellow 6 spd that is incoming from Florida so it has yet to arrive. Driven a ton of them so already new I loved the little cars so really looking forward to its arrival and meeting ya'll out and about. I go to cars and coffee pretty regular so just look for the 6'4 guy in the little yellow vert

On Saturday I just bought a 2009 Mini Cooper S Clubman in Pepper White. (http://l.mashby.com/1cPpM). Guess it's time to join the club!!!
Speaking of... I'm having no luck finding it on Facebook. Can someone point me in the right direction?
