New Guy - New MCS - HELLO!!!

Hello everyone!

My name is Rex, and I am a Mini-aholic!

Tonight I purchased my first MCS! I have been admiring them for years and thought, "heck, it has been 6 months since I bought a car, I think I want a MINI!" I am tired of watching everyone else have all the fun!

Found a nice GENTLY used 06. One owner (female - they are gentle), and the car is in unbelievable shape!

I have been reading volumes about the MINI however I have neglected to read about the "Club." I promise not to disappoint anyone!





Anyway, wanted to say hello; I am sure you will see me buzzing about town. I work in West County and in St. Charles county. Anyone that is on the 364 - 270 route, give me a honk if you see me. Here is a pic (poor one at that).

PS. Forgive the tempo, I am truly PUMPED to join in on the fun!

Hmm, well how about I just tell ya. It is Blk over Silver with the racing stripes on the bonnet.

I will figure out the attachment thing. I guess you cant post the same pic the a different thread.

I figured it out! You have to modify the pic in the SLIGHTEST bit and you get by the gate guards!

Okay, has anyone heard the term, "Buzz Kill?"

I have a cool car (the likes of which I have been looking at for a couple years)! It seems the Mini crowd goes to bed at 8:00PM.

I hope to get a "welcome to the club" tomorrow..........

Hi Rex,

Sorry I fell asleep on the couch Welcome to the world of MINIs I am on my second MINI with possibly a Clubman in my crystal ball.

Have you joined the Club yet? If not, please do still try to join us on our Fall Run on Nov 1. You are welcome to come.

I hang out mostly in the Kirkwood/Webster, West County area. I look forward to seeing you sometime. Keep your eye out for a BRG Cabrio, at least for now

Lois

Congrats on the MINI, enjoy it! I'm out in St Charles and follow that route occasionally, so maybe I''ll see you on the road.

HEY!

I bet that I have met some of you already! My name here, "LtRex" is because I am a lieutenant with the Frontenac Police Department and have been there for 21 years. Now you know how you may have met me! That is right, I always walk through and check out the Mini Coopers at the yearly car show at Plaza Frontenac. Always a really nice setup, and popular too I might add!

Some of you may remember the tall cop that walked through the MC set-up talking to some of you about your cars. Maybe next year I participate (schedule permitting).

Welcome I'm sure you will have fun with your new ride, and becoming a member of the club. Nothing is cooler than being in a queue of motoring MINIs.

Welcome To The Club

Rex, I think we have talked at the European Car show. Glad you bought a MINI. As you know by now, never before had driving been so much fun. As a club member you will enjoy the camaraderie that is a big part of owning a MINI. I hope you can make one of our upcoming events. Until then, MOTOR ON,

It's a beautiful Saturday, and I am stuck at work. I have gone on the road a little bit only to see the MC here and there buzzing around. Good for them!

Stupid question, how do I access the stlmini site area to enter my personal contact information in the member directory? I received an email explaining it, however it seems the gremlins deleted it (middle aged).

That email had a password for me to use.............. I THINK

You would be surprised how many of us understand what having fun is all about. There is a reasonable limit, and I think we may all kinda have an idea what that is. Don't exceed that and you are likely FINE! If not, it is just a ticket!

Questions on what to do if you get a ticket...............well that is what I am here for!

Now you all have a good time tomorrow, I am sure it is going to be a great Sunday, because I HAVE TO WORK!
