It is scheduled to land in NJ tomorrow.

With wicked smooth processing maybe I'll see it on Friday. From what I've read of other wait times, that could be a pipe-dream!

I've heard nightmare stories on the processing for both MINI and BMWs. But I think you will have it soon enough.

I've stopped there to get gas sometimes when it's going on. I usually would get funny looks pulling up in a Mini.
I am in Northwood...I don't care about funny looks..If we show up as a group I think it would be cool..

Directions to Goldenrod Restaurant
Goldenrods doesn't have as much parking as Irving gas station does on Thursdays...Just saying..

Northwood is not in Northern NH. I drive thru Northwood all the time when I go to Rochester to visit family. We could all get together and cruise over to Irving some Thursday night.

Oh yea everytime I see your screen name I think Jaguar not MINI.

I've seen Irving's lot pretty full at times when I've stopped to get gas.

I was thinking that we could park in Andersen Equipment or in the grassy lot next to Golden Rod.

Sounds good to me, Mike. And @ S Type - I definitely believe in making this a traveling circus of sorts, so we'll be changing up the location to get more people involved. And we're doing it on Thursdays so that we don't interfere with Minis of Boston's events on Wednesday nights.

Hope to see you all tomorrow night.

I like the sound of all of that. We can totally make this a "Mini Tour of NH" - different locations a couple times a month to make it easier on those folks that are in far-southern and way-northern NH to attend. Let me see if I can keep the OP edited to update our ideas and locations.

I emailed Mini of Bedford today to see if they were interested in doing some recruiting for me or hosting an event. Still waiting a reply.

It's more northern than say Salem or Manchester..

True enough, and we'll add it to the list.

I can't even see stoplights through my windscreen half the time. We'd all have to crane our necks for the whole night.

Jokes. I'll add that as well. Sounds like a good time. I've never been to a drive-in movie.

Nice to finally hear some NH MINI people talking about get togethers. I'd love to meet up with people. Though I'm an hour from manchvegas.

We had a great time tonight. Just three Minis this week, but it was kind of a trial run more than anything. If you guys and gals are on Facebook, have a look here.

I'm on Facebook. As soon as I drive my MINI home I will join the club!

Good idea on the Facebook page.

Because while I usually am typically not superstitious with anything, waiting for this car has made me crazy and I don't want to jinx it!
