What about meeting down at Floyd Bennet Field? There's lots of open space and some big parking lots...

well, just so you guys know, if you lookin for a quite area to meet up, TriBeca is pretty quite on sundays. figure greenwich and vestry area. cobble stone roads make great pics. there is an exit for Vestry just past the Canal st exit.
or even better, on spring and hudson there is a parking lot on the corner they dont use on the weekends, a perfect spot to meet and take your time.

That would work but you need some room or enclosure or something so that a meeting can be held assuming you want this club somewhat organized... ala the Pittsburg, or Atlanta, or DC , or Long Island club...

 

I was almsot 100% sure that it was a factory store...
Hmm... Cahrlie or James The only two male MAs over there...

As far as where to meet up now a few people are coming up with ideas, i think that somewhere in Manhattan makes more sense becuase its easier to get to and from most places outside.

Additionaly, some people have pretty extensive mods ::ahem DOPAMINE ahem:: and find it difficult to be on bumpy roads like the BQE. PLUS Floyd Bennet Field, is like maaad far back on the Belt to then end up at Bear Mtn. But thats just my opinion.

 

about DOPAMINE no sry i meant my sa but he does bmw/mini services so i dunno how specific he'll be to it
but ill ask

 

SA you say... Aleks or Hoofman? I've had either of the two in the past when I go in for service..

HighSchoolz, what are you thoughs on the meeting place?
I used to be in Jackson Heights on 73rd st... not that it matters or makes a difference regarding any of the topics in this thread Just making small talk..

 

count me in and add one to the westchester tally.

(& so far, my vote is for MINY)

 

i'd love to join an NYC area mini club. i can't make it on the 23rd, but maybe the next event.

 

i cant make the 23rd either apparently. i have the day marked off on my calander and cant remeber what car show it is.
hopefully the Bear MTN run will fall on a free day.

 

Wow,

I gotta get out of Jersey and tool around with some NY'rs. I'll keep checking on the events and will try to get to one of them. Thanks for organizing.

Im down for this.

 

I couldn't resist taking a stab at making a MINY logo. Here's a couple of versions...traditional and localized. What do you think?

How about combining the two?

Here's a combo...somehow, it starts to look a little weird to me.

OH MAN! All of those are AWESOME!

 

Since a number of you have either stated here or sent me a PM saying that you'd like be involved, but can't make it on the 23rd... Would more people be able to make it on the 7th of October? also a sunday...

 

Yes, I agree. It's too much. I like the city one best.

Sept 23 is looking better for me so far

octoberfest on 10/07 would be great...also i like the very first logo

 

OF COURSE!

Thats what we've been discussing, but we're just trying to figure out a date. The 1st date suggested, was the 23rd of September, a few people said that they would be able to make it, but it seems like more people would be able to make it on the 7th of october....

I've said that if there are enough people that can only make it to one or the other, I'd go up on both day . Nothing wrong with more seat time in the MINI!!

 

thank you!!!!

ive been posting this up too.

great minds think alike my man!!!
