Hey Joe, I had a C-Man ALL4 (some color as yours without the fogs and bonnet stripes) and a Justa behind me last night heading into Manch on 101. The driver of the C-Man was all excited about me passing and waving at her.

I hopefully have recruited our first R53 Cooper S. NH_MCS might show.

Joe have you liked "Minis of New Hampshire" facebook page?

I feel the admins need to separate New York and New England in opinion. Its that way on every other car forum I'm on.

There are currently 2 extra MINIs in the parking lot at work today. Looks like it's time to get some cards printed up so that I can start leaving them under wipers.

I think I'm the only motorer where I am.

In a way I like being the only one, but it would be nice to have fellow motorers around as well.

Good that you gave the MCM driver some love! I don't know if the two in front of me this morning noticed me. I am still waiting for my first MINI love exchage.

Yep! I "liked" the Minis of NH" facebook page on Monday. Felt good, lol.

I try to make a point to wave. Most of the time the driver in the other Mini looks like they are thinking "do I have too" lol...

You should post some pics on our "Minis of NH" page of your CM...

Oh FYI if you want accessories I can get you MINI stuff at my work. I work at bavauto.com shameless plug. hehe

Definitely a shameless plug. What can you do for me on pricing for a Samco Turbo Intake Hose for my 07MCS? My stock hose keep slipping off...

I think all the hoses come as a kit. I'll have to check.

Nothing wrong with the shameless plug!

Specially if you can recommend a rear bumper deck cover. We've got a dog, and I won't let her jump up into the boot until the bumper is protected from her claws!

I'll have to look to see what is offered. Do you have the CM OEM accessories book? As of right now all I can find this is this thing. I would prefer something that actually fits the top of the bumper. I have one on my R56.

Had a great time meeting all of you last night. Now if only we could get a couple of those R53 guys / girls to join us. And a coupe or two might be a nice change of scenery as well.





Probably going to take a break next week, but we're going to try to find one another on the mountain. I will be stalking several of you for MoT. Anyone else leaving with the group from Bedford on Friday?

Gentlemen, it was a pleasure to meet you all last night. The wife and I had a great time. Always nice to meet people with the same addictions. We will be meeting in Bedford on Friday. If it's at the bugaboo creek building again, we will most likely be parked towards the back of the parking lot, just to the left as you pull in. Enjoy the weekend and see you all next week!

We're actually going to take a break from our Thursday meets next week. MINIs on Top is next weekend, and several of us expressed that we'd like to have time to do some last minute packing on Thursday night.

We will continue Thursday night meets when we get back from the Mountain.

black s type, I just checked the meeting point for the Bedford caravan and they are listing the Mini of Bedford dealership. Last year we met at the Bugaboo Creek lot. People will meet and greet around 1 and head out around 2 for the Whites. Hope to see you all!!!

I'm heading up Saturday morning for MoT. I have to work all day on Friday. Remember for those not caravaning for Minis of Bedford Bavauto is having a caravan from the Seacoast as well.

I'm on vacation for the week of July 4 so I'll not be around.

Mike,

I was one of the people that you talked to last weekend, the BRG Clubman S. I am interested and I will keep tabs on this topic. Last week was a busy one and MOT is this week but I will definitely meet up one of these weeks.

Thanks,
Tim

What are we thinking about a meet next week?

Joe, I'm still waiting on my purchasing department to get back to me on the bumper protector. For the bike rack what type of bike do you have?

Cool.

On the bikes, I have a Trek mountain bike and the wife has a Trek touring (neither are racing/road style).
