Hey there!
I am so happy I found this website! I've been obsessing over my Mini (which arrives in Feb. '02!). I live in Fort Lauderdale and I'd love to come to the Mini Meet next weekend. Do you have to currently own a Mini to attend the meet? Thanks for the info!

Tony :smile:

I attended the Ft. Lauderdale meet yesterday and had a blast! I am very glad I had the opportunity to meet some of my fellow MINI aficionados. The day was unbearibly hot but the whole event including the drive thru Ft.Lauderdale beach and Las Olas blvd made it all worth it.

Looking forward to future MINI meets in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area.

Yesterday afternoon I swear it must have been 100F+ outside in Ft Lauderdale. Humidity actually makes the heat feel worse. I also got my "Tan" but like others said, it was all well worth it.

I sincerely hope the next meet tales place in November, December or January as the temperatures are much nicer.

Any likehood for a second MINI meet in Miami in the near future?
