Motoring in a Mini
I was surfing and saw some posts speculating about the "Motoring in a Mini" article ( Playboy) being a clever ad done by BMW. As the author, I can assure you that there was not connection at all. Matter of fact, I kind of wish there was some sort of connection - they could have sent me a hat or something - but it was a fun piece to put together.

New member as of today. I am the proud owner of a 2006 Mini - red body, black roof - that I just picked up a week ago, tomorrow. It will eventually be the Chiefs Mini, to take the place of my Chiefs Beetle, that burned up about 10 days ago. I had intended to drive my Chiefs Beetle to Kansas City one day and sell it to another Chiefs fan. Guess that's not gonna happen, huh?
However, that's the past and now I'm the very happy owner of a brand new Mini Cooper. It may take awhile to "Chief-it-up" like my bug, but I will enjoy the journey. Thanks for letting me participate in your forum.
I'm a SoCal so if any other Mini SoCals are out there, let me know.

New to NAM
Greetings all: My wife and I are new to NAM and are waiting for delivery on our 2006 MCSa. It arrived in NY/NJ today and presumably is making its way to the vehicle distribution center.
This is our first MINI and we're looking forward to motoring on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Skyline Drive and taking a trip down to Florida this December. I understand there's a good MINI association for the DC metro area. If anyone has recommendations along those lines please pass them on.
In the meantime happy motoring to everyone

Thanks for the kind words!
Dave (and everyone else),
Glad to join your fine group here at NAM! We are the happy owners of an MC40 and leave tomorrow to pick up our new addition; GP #0473, which was ordered April 12. Our MC40 is #470, not too shabby, huh?
I look forward to communicating with the group, I'll try to get some pics once the rush wears off. Motor on!

I've been lurking around here since before I got my 2006 MC CR/B.....just long enough to start picking up the acronyms! It seems like the MCs are far less common than the MCSs - but hey, I could afford this one! Me still loves it. Already clay-barred it and Zaino-polished it (then Houston had torrential rain, yuck), so it needs a bath already. I'm working on getting the graphics on it - the one pic I'll have in my gallery is the roof graphic mockup from Aesthetic Creations - that ain't my car! I'll have more soon, promise.
I still don't know how these mini-body-color-clubs work though! Somebody splain me!

MINI seals
Hi Sneetch:
Try checking the following message. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=71218 All I did once I got there was right click on the seal I wanted, selected "save image" and then saved the image into a folder on my hard drive.
Once you've done that go to the NAM user control site at https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ms/usercp.php? and click on the link for edit signature on the left margin. When you get to that location scroll down on that page until you see the location where you can download an image for your signature. Simply hit the "browse" function, locate your saved graphic and paste it. Hit preview to see your new signature - if you're satisfied with it be sure to save it and you're done.

This is our first post. Our chili red S convertible is at the VDC which means it should be in our driveway soon! We live in the beautiful Hudson Valley area of NY and know that driving around in our Mini will be the greatest way to take in all the great scenery. Question: Since we're in NY and our dealer is in Albany, how long will it likely take to get from the VDC to the dealer? We'll call our MA (Dave) later but he's not in yet and I can't wait! Thanks and it's good to be part of the Mini family.
