Welcome to MCO UCSDxB0i

Anyone who includes "hehe" in their first post is someone we gotta watch out for

Maybe I should invite you over to the MINI Renegade Club

Welcome UCSDxBOi!!

This is a great group of folks here at MCO. Have you been lurking long?

Definitely check out the SoCal forum for meets, etc.

Do you have a MINI yet or are you still waiting for yours?

Cheers!

Nope I havent been lurking at all, I'm from MINI2 actually, hope you guys done mind :smile: but I attended the early early MINI meet that took place in San Diego UTC mall in La Jolla... I was the one that came in a camry and was taking pics of all teh MINIs and then I attended the Italian Job Premeire at Paramount pictures and in both places there were members from MCO so ya figured i should join in on the fun.

I picked up my MINI March 26th. 2003.

here are some pics that i have uploaded on Imagestation... http://www.imagestation.com/member/?name=UCSDxB0i

if some of you dont have a username / password to view the pics u can use this one... its one that i made for people to use to go online with.

user:bmwm5.com pwd: gom5 Ok ok i know dont want to hear it...maybe i'll make one for MCO sometime...

Why should we mind? Many folks here are crossovers. I don't spend much time on MINI2, but I do spend time on Roadfly.

I live near UTC but I haven't seen you around. Where've you been hiding?

>>I picked up my MINI March 26th. 2003.

I picked up Peanut about two weeks before you got yours! They're almost twins:

your MCS: EB/W MCS Arrived (3/26/03), Premium Package, Sports Package, Lapis Blue Leather, Harmon Kardon, PDC, Dark Tint (All around), Bonnet Stripes (Removable), X-Pel Clearbra,

my MCS:

Peanut EB/W MCS, 16" white wheels, HK, Sensing doodads up front, Lapis/Magnesium/Patina, DSC, Xenons, Fogs, Climate, Cruise

We don't mind at all because 90% of us are members of both forums.

MINI2 is quite international. You can really hear some stories about dealers in Scotland, Ireland, etc... and what they say and do... What new options are in Europe and not USA, etc... While MCO is majority North American with mostly members in Mexico, USA and Canada. I read both forums and gain the best of both worlds.

I also like reading Bridger [URL=http://bridger.us/mini/]

that could have been me... but if it was, then you were in stealth mode (not in your MCS) because I definitely would have noticed another EB turning with me!! Do you (or did you) have another ride?
