RE: New Members!


I get the same response sometimes with the gas mileage thing but most just smile and tell me how much they love my car. I am so glad that I got the checkerboard because I have only seen one besides mine and there checkerboard is red and white. I think the black and white really set off the red. Yesterday a school teacher was outside when I pulled my car up and she got in it and told me how cool my car was and then a gym teacher stopped and thought I had the coolest car. I am the only MINI in the parking lot and I park quite a distance away from everyone else.

Hi folks!

New here; new to MINIs, but looking foreward ('cuz that's all I can do) to mine arriving in SEPTEMBER (ugghh--that's a long darn time)! A few of the pertinent stats:

Non-S, Oxygen Blue w/ white roof & mirrors / silver bonnet stripes
Cold Weather package
Dynamic Stability Control
Multi-function Steering Wheel
Auto-dimming rear mirror
Gotham Grey interior color
Mellow Yellow Color Line
Front & Rear foglights

I can hardly wait, but I guess I'm going to have to...

Thanks to Ray at Towne; he really made the (initial) car-buying experience a low-key, enjoyable event!

Anyway, hope to meet some of you and partake in some of the fun in the near future!

Welcome, we're excited to meet you and your MINI!

Everyone at Towne has been great to Mark (SPD) and I - we worked with Ray too and Mark in Service is awesome as well.

We are new members too, my wife Carol and I. We adopted a Hyper Blue Mini and added the Union Jack mirror covers. The colors match beautiful and Carol loves tooling around Lancaster and Williamsville in her "clown" car. We hope to come to some car events when we can get a sitter for the rugrats.
Please keep us posted, if possible on events like the up coming rally.

My mini is at Towne getting the Rally lights today. I was going to wait until next year but we got our stimulus check and said what the heck why not now. Everyone at Towne has been great from Greg to Mark in service and Brandy. My husband and I are very pleased with everything they have done for us and plan on always having a mini.

Today is officially my last day of work even though my boss told the children on Wednesday that I retired I quit I am too young to retire and am going to be looking for another job at a different school. The aides I work with had a party for me on Wednesday and some of the children made me an awesome card that I will cherish forever.

Your going to love the rally lights. Not only do they look good on the Mini but I have noticed that if an on comming vehicle refuses to turn their "high beams" of even after I only flash my highs they seem to wake up fast if I flash my rallys. "Take that" I say. (hmmmm.....that is what I here at least....after all you really should not do that)

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! The wait at this point is agonizing, although I have to admit it's my own fault. Right now, I'm bummed to be MINI-less and reading about the upcoming rally, MINIs on Top, etc. It's all happening too darn soon! I guess I'll just have to start making notes on next year's calendar...

I picked up my mini yesterday from Towne and love the rally lights!!! They look so cool. Was really hoping to make rally, I know we have a graduation party but hubby is in Houston this week only to return for two days and get on a plane and head back down to Houston on Sunday so have alot to do before he is off again. We will be in Rochester in August so maybe we can all meet up then.

No I never posted a picture of my mini but I did use the lights on Tuesday and they are awesome.

My MINI is at Towne being serviced so maybe when I get him back I will be able to take a picture and post it.

Hi everyone,
Picked up my Mini 2 weeks ago. I have never owned one before and I realize that was a mistake. What a great & fun car. I have not have this much fun driving a car since I was a
teen. I 've got 335 miles on it and still have gas in the tank. What a difference from my FJ cruiser which got about 17 mpg. Looking forward to meeting some of you.

SPD (Mark) turned in an FJ Cruiser for his MINI (Winnie) too!  Welcome to the group, hopefully you can make it to Watkins Glen with us on 8/17!

we actually had my wife's (see above) Mini painted to match the FJ. Then I traded the FJ in. I am glad I did it before oil skyrocketed.

Hello to all & thanx for the warm welcome - we thought & thought and thought about a name for our new mini and hubby came up with that. So if you see a Chili Red Clubman tricked out in checks tooling around town - Rochester area with that licensce plate - KLOWNKRR - it's me - Susan!

Our salesman at Towne, Greg thought it was a scream. All we could ever think about  when we first looked at the Coopers were those little cars the Shriners drive around in parades, and they are so cute! (Shhhhh, don't say cute around my hubby Scott) so KLOWNKRR it is!
Should be getting it next Wednesday! Whooo Hooooo!!!!  biggrin biggrin biggrin 
Not too excited, huh?????

That's a great name.  You will be amazed at how many people stop you and ask about the MINI.  I always tell them that:  Women tend to like them because they look "cute" and men tend to like them because they go 140 miles per hour (the S's anyway).  Enjoy!!!

Hey Klownkrr!

Congratulations! I meant to say hi earlier this week but I'm still second-guessing all the options from my order in June. I saw your slightly happy message that your Clubman is in TODAY! Fantastic! Hope it's all you hope it will be and maybe I'll meet you at one of the upcoming events!

Welcome Klownkrr! I will be looking for you while driving around Webster-my husband owns a business there and if he has been very, very good I let him take MY Chili Red Cooper S to work.  Enjoy and as you know CHILI RED is the fastest!!  floating.gif

klownkrr--I don't know why other than I do know shortly before I ordered, Towne showed about 20+ MINIs in their inventory. By the time I got up there a couple weeks later, they had two or three. Another MINIer who bought from them and took her mom to order a Maxi-MINI the weekend before told me she had never seen them so empty. The Mom's Clubbie was not going to be delivered until late-August, if I recall correctly.

In any event, I'm pretty excited about tedscar actually getting here. I'm putting the finishing touches on my order (may as well take advantage of the one bright spot RE: the WAIT). Two months has given me plenty of time to think and rethink my order (but I still have another day or two to change my mind)...
