I'm in O'side. I have a hyper blue and white 06 JCW. You'll see me doing the "speed limit" past tri-city on the 78 every day!

I looked at the regional forum area.. Didn't seem like anyone has posted there in a long time..

Darren.. Have you gotten together with any local Mini clubs?

I was over by Tri-City yestrday (in my new DS MCS) but I don't have vanity plates (or any plates for that matter).

The one I saw was gray and had custom plates. I think the owner works there also. Nice to see more San Diego people. any of you go to any get togethers? Either with the Mini dealership or a club?

I'm a member of West Coast MINI, which is an amazing group of people. The runs are very fun and it definitely has a family feel to it. It's not at all a "ricer" club although there are definitely the "performance" drivers.

I can't recommend them enough. PM or email me for the details about WCM.

Not sure what you mean by long time but if you check the SoCal forum, there are about a dozen threads that've been updated during this month.

Tons of Minis in CA...

I live in a neighborhood of about 80 homes and we have 4 or 5 (not sure if one is a visitor) in our little local alone. The road I drive on has two in a row pretty often, and sometimes three...

You'll learn the "Mini landscape" pretty fast as they are a distinctive car.

I E mailed the person at WCM the other day. I am interested in meeting up with other owners and seeing there cars and having fun. I also have a Ford Bronco that is a big rock crawler and camp truck.

Tig.. What do you sell/provide to Tri City?

Anyone tell me when the next meet would be? I haven't gotten mailed back yet from WCM.

Hello from another local and WCM member! The next meet is the holiday party on January 5th. Should be fun, but no run involved in this one. Whatever nice things people say about WCM, believe them! It is truly amazing what a wonderful group of people they are, and I am so proud to be a part of them.
