I love how you put "beat the cars up" in quotes. Your car is so low you really wouldn't have to try very hard to "beat" it up

Yay!

I just bought my '05 MCS in November. I'm all for a NYC club! I just got back from AMVIV5 and spent a great time with the Westcoast MINI crowd. The drive to Death Valley was a blast.

We so need a club here in the city! I'm willing to pitch in whatever way is needed.

If only my mini could fit in the overhead compartment of an airplane so I can fly out to places like Death Valley for a run.

Humans are excitable and fallible, especially when riding in a mini. Get a GPS unit and mount it securely.

I'm down for the 27th. I'm getting ready to knock down my strut-shrooms. I got a JCW brace and wouldn't mind some help with installation

Who'd you buy the car from if you don't mind me asking, I'm close with everyone over there. Good people. If you buy the stripes ahead of time I'm pretty sure that they'd be able to install them ahead of time. You can call the service dept and ask for Hooman, or I'll just ask him this weekend..

Sorry I've been super MIA lately, MINY has CERTAINLY NOT sputtered out! Never think such terrible things I've started working on a 5boros run, but is a little more difficult than I had expected. If anyone has any kind of input and would like to help out, give me a heads up...

Hey Turbo, I bought the car from Lowri. Do you know her..super sweet. Im driving her nuts calling her every week. LOL She puts up with it cause she loved my bulldog when I brought him in to buy the car. I deniately want different stripes than the standard kind. Do you really think they will do it?

Of course I know her! How fun was it buying an english car someone with a british accent?? Anyways... I can't see why it would be a problem. Did you order the car with stripes? The process would obviously be less involved if they didn't have to first remove the factory stripes.. I'll talk to one of the service advisers there and ask him about it and let you know..

Stripes install & MINI~Q III Autoshow in May 17-18th!

Hi, this is Paul from www.usminiclub.us and most of us from the Long Island club have done stripes and other MINI graphics installs here:

http://www.gdezineltd.com/

Phil is great, and doing this for many years.

On the other hand...When done with your MINI's striping, performance upgrades etc. why not show off you beauty at the MINI~Q III the largest MINI Cooper Auto Show and Autocross on Long Island held this May 17th and 18th!

You are all invited! Just use the following link for more information:

http://usminiclub.us/images/MINI-Q_2...ARTICIPANT.pdf

P.S. Hi Paul how's going. Hope you had fun at the Poker Tour two weeks a go, and if you need any help with your rally just call me. BTW the next US MINI Club meeting is 11am Sunday May 4th at Hassel MINI, 100 Cleveland Ave., Freeport NY 11520 - hope to see you there.

Paul.
