Chino, Chino Hills Area

Hi,

Just got my 07 MCS two months ago. I absolutely love my MCS. I was wondering if anyone around my area are also MCS enthusiast? I have been seeing a few Mini owner on the road. I say hi (by blinking my lights or waving) to most of them but they seem to ignore or dont know why im saying hi to them. haha

Where in Ontario do you work at? I too work around Ontario, right in front of the Double Tree Hotel around the convention center. Once I see fixed-up Minis i'll be sure to wave.

btw, I drive a 2007 MCS Pepper White, blackout grills and yellow fogs :D

Savage BMW over in the Auto Center, You can acutally see my car on display in front of the new MINI dealership we are building. My employee parking is one of the concrete display platforms in front of the dealership Im also wondering if there are any mini meets in this area since I've had Alice for a few months now and have yet to hang out with MINI people.

Maybe we should set one? Nothing too big, just local guys/gals? Been dying to find out what others have on their mini and see what I can do to my semi-stock mini lol.

Savage BMW? Finally, a local Mini Dealership! Can't wait!

Didn't realize that there's a fee to be a member at SCMM. But base on a few comments from current members, seems worth it.

There usually an Inland Empire event on the second Sunday of the month. We meet in Claremont for lunch with a possible twisty run after. Check SCMM.org / regional events for the next one.

Cheers, Van
