Salutations!

Would it be acceptable to start an on-going thread for new SCMM members? The thread would be a way for the new members to introduce themselves and the more seasoned members can give them a warm welcome.

Have a fabulous day!
Asya

 

Looks like you just did!

And WELCOME!!!

What a great idea! Welcome to the club, Asya!
I hope you will come on the SCMM club message board and introduce yourself there too.

Hope to see you at some of upcoming events.

Motor on!
Lex

 

Wow, that was easy! I just don't want to step on anyones toes. Is it possible to change the title of the thread to something like "New Members, Step Up and Introduce Yourself" or something snazzy? Is there a similar thread on the SCMM board? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to figure out which board is the main board.

 

New title - DONE.

And yeah, most of our communication within the club takes place on our own, excellent website: scmm.org

This forum is primarily a place to promote our club to potential members, and as a backup in case our own site has a problem, but yeah, feel free to use this area for any and all SCMM-related discussions!

Whoops, I requested this thread and forgot to post! Okay here is my self-promoting post ...

My name is Asya (pronounced Asia). As of today I have been in SoCal 1 week. I grew up in Sherman Oaks CA but I have spent the past 9 years in Washington DC. I made the cross country journey in Sweet Caroline with my fiance and 2 cats. It was a very tight fit and Sweet Caroline was slightly injured in the journey (cracked windshield, rock dings in the paint) but it was worth the experience. We now reside in Camarillo near CSUCI. We would love to meet up with nearby SCMM for lunch / dinner / fun.

 

Hi Asya. I'm Lex. I hope you enjoyed your cross country trip despite the injuries to your MINI. Beware of the Camarillo Outlet...so very tempting. Hope you, your fiancé and your 2 cats settle in smoothly.

I hope to meet you soon at one of our SCMM events. April 7th is a full day of SCMM & MINI fun - starting off with our first Saturday breakfast get together at Coogies, followed by a fun twistie run, and then finishing up at the Fireballed Studios for a BBQ and cool info. Hope you can join us for some fun!

The big club event this month is Walking the Streets of Bakersfield III the weekend of April 28th...it's a great opportunity to test out your twistie driving skills, see the beauty around Lake Isabella, and hanging out with SCMM and MidCal MINI owners. Check our SCMM message board for more information: http://www.clubscmm.com/board/index.php?topic=3759.0
Do you bowl? We need some bowlers to whip MidCal!

Welcome to the club and motor on!
Lex

 

hello everyone,

I'm originally from San Jose, but go to school here in LA. I've been searching around for someone to install my roof stripes, but haven't been able to find anyone for quite a while, so I thought I'd try looking for someone within SCMM. Is there anyone who would be willing to do the install? Of course, I would pay for your time and services!



Nice meeting you all,
Ellis

 

Hey guys,

current VWVortex member and now former E60forums member.

Picked up my 07 Cooper S today after turning in my leased 545

Yeah, I know...WTF...anyway, looking forward to some fun again even if only until xmas when I will be moving to TX

 

Welcome to SoCali....there's a lot of events for us SCMMers...just ck out the site!

 

Hey everyone!
I just filled out the SCMM new member application online and sent the check in the mail today! I recently convinced my mom to let us join SCMM (since the car is under my parents' name, im only 18)
I'm excited to be a part of the club!
BTW, where can I get one of those sweet SCMM decals that I've seen on the rear window of some Minis??

 

Hello and welcome to the club!

You should be getting a SCMM decal as part of your welcome kit. If you want a larger "SoCal MINI Maniacs" banner, then you will need to come to one of our breakfast events to get one, or send a pm to our Treasury.

Look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events, and post a hello on the SCMM board once you get access.

All the best,
Lex

Jill

hi all.

Bought my first Cooper S a couple of weeks ago. Glad to be part of the forum. Yesterday was the first day since 1999 that I did not have an Audi in the stable, after and A6 and four A4s. I also have a WWII Era ****** Jeep and a 335i.

I live in Agoura Hills. Is there a Malibu GTG this weekend? I would like to come by and introduce myself and get to meet a few fellow Mini owners.

Cheers,

Kash!

 

Hello! My name is Mitch and im from Chino, Chino Hills area. Anyone from around here? Would be awesome to meet another MCS enthusiast. :wave:

 

Hi!

I just got an '04 MINI this weekend. Hope to meet some cool ppl here. I may have been honked at by another MINI going the opposite direction this evening

( I commute around Van Nuys-Burbank area )

 

Hi, just got an '09 S Clubman. See you on the road!

 

My name is Jeanette and I am the proud owner of Bruiser! 08' MCS laser blue in Simi Valley! GeekSpeed recommended this group and I can't wait to get to meet some fellow Mini enthusiasts! I am sure I have probably waved at some of you in the area.

 

I just picked up a 2010 jcw in dark silver, from Long Beach. Enjoying the mini community, hope to meet more fellow mini's in the coming months.

 

Are there any upcoming 2010 MINI events locally?
