Starting a new Mini club in the Central Valley, called "The Wild Mice Minis." The area covered will be Stockton to Modesto, and Tracy east to the foothills. I think there's enough Mini's now in this area to warrant it's own club.

PM me if you're interested! If you send me you e-mail address, I'll add it to my list of interested people, so I can arrange a first meeting.

Jim

 

just curious...
Why Wild Mice Minis? It sounds like there may be a story behind your name.
Good luck with forming your new club.

 

I've read several automotive journalists refer to the handling and accelleration of the Mini, as "wild mouse" like. I believe they're referring to the amusement park roller coaster called "The Wild Mouse."

Also, seems like a fun name. Doesn't sound like a dealership.

 

I have to ask. Are you limiting your club to just people living in those areas or are those just the areas you plan on doing events in?

H~

 

There's no limits on where anyone lives or where we do events. From the area planned though, it's at least an hour drive to other Mini club venues for meetings, social events, etc. Even a driving tour will probably start an hour or so away from this area, so using my experience from founding an MG club in the olden days, it feels like the time is right for a club based in this area.

The club will be based on what I call "Organized Anarchy." The less rules the better. Too many rules get in the way of having fun.

 

That's the philosophy we have at Maverick MINIs!
Good luck, Jim!

 

I think any of us who have been in any kind of clubs, knows what happens with too many rules and personality cults. Club death.

 

Ok! We're getting some interest, and a handful of us are in contact. As soon as I can figure out where, we'll get together for a first meeting, and chart a course!

 

Sounds interesting. Am in San Jose though, so wouldn't be able to do alot with the group. But what the hay! I've done rides with several of the local mini groups already. Good luck in getting this group going.

 

Thanks much!

 

Hi Jim,
I went through the same process in December 2004 forming REME. At the time it was organized to be a club with little or no rules.

Since then it has been evolving into whatever it becomes. Truely an exciting process to watch.

Let me know if you need some help or advice in forming your new club.

 

Hey, cool club name.

 

Thank you.

I've founded a couple of clubs in the past, including an MG club. It's a fun study in group psychology!

 

Best wishes with the new club, Jim! I'll motor up to participate in a Wild Mouse event in the future!

 

You're ALWAYS welcome Clo!

 

I'm in Salida. I'm in 3 other clubs already but whats one more. I'm in let me know were and when.

I live in Salida and belong to three other clubs, but what the heck one more is no big thing. the name is CHECKERS.

 

Cool, just down the road.
