CR&PW&JB,

Thanks for the nod to Memphis and the music it made famous.

Beale Street often plays host to groups that gather here for conventions, meetings, etc...

How 'bout a MINI gathering here? MINIs lining Beale Street from one end to the other, parked, and partying.

If the Harley riders can do it, why not us?

Bruiser can lead the way.

 

Introducing "Bruiser" in my sig. The only thing that's different is that I have black pillars. Found out earlier this week that it is in the production stage, complete with VIN#!

 

2006 Mini Takes The States,we all filled Beal street with our minis. Had a blast. It would be fun to do it again. I'll see if I can find some of the pics
and post them.

 

Funny, I was going to call mine Wilbur too, after the Wilbur Bud, a local chocolate delicacy, but I saw your name, so now it is going to be "Wilbur Bud". It is an apt name: the Wilbur bud is slightly larger than a Hershey Kiss, like the Clubman to the Cooper.

 

Fritz,

That was in my pre-MINI days... guess I wasn't paying attention that weekend.

 

just clicked on the link to MINI Takes The States from the NAM home page... that first photo that pops up on the MINIUSA.com site about this event is from Beale Street, I'm quite sure....

had no idea you guys (us guys?) had been here before... I'll bet it was fun.

 

The plate arrived today, so it's now official ... her name is there for all to see!

 

Memphis pics, featuring yours truly:

 

very cool. wish I had been there.

 

I vote for Gianni, no Paulo, no Ernest, or Ernst... Maybe Jackie, or Robert... Perhaps Junior, or Thibault, plain Harry, Malcolm, Francis, Adelaide, Martha, Suzy, Bam Bam, Jenna, Jonesy, Gerrold, not Bruiser (unless you drive in the smash-up derby).

I named my car "Mini Cooper S Clubman"

 

OKAY, SO I PURCHASED MY MCCS BECAUSE MY OTHER CAR IS A

2000, LIFTED, 4X4, TURBO DESIEL, LMTD FOR EXCURSION. NEED I SAY MORE? WHEN I HAD TO PAY $230 TO FILL 'ER UP, IT WAS TIME TO PARK 'ER FOR A WHILE.

SO, I AM A TAXI MOM & COMING UP ON MY 40TH NEEDED SOMETHING FUN TO DRIVE. THE KIDS LOVE THE NEW MINI AND WE NAMED IT

THE PUCK BUS. OUR PERSONALIZE PLATE IS ON IT'S WAY.

MY MIDDLE SON PLAYS ICE HOCKEY, IN SOUTHER CALIFORNIA... OUR PUCK BUS CAN FIT 3 KIDS, 2 HOCKEY BAGS & ME AND IT'S NOT COSTING ME $1000 A MONTH TO FILL BUT I DO FEEL A LITTLE, WELL, LITTLE.

 

Hey goodwood, My 05 is the one with the union jack roof in the Beal st. Pic.
It was truly a great time and needs to be done again......soon.

 

LOL nice... mine is apple, my plate is 01010011 LOL i write code.....and a giant apple logo is going on the roof

 

Cool... we're ready when the rest of the country is.

 

I like Thibault!!! Don't hear that one much!
