Bert Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 Jonnie a happy welcome to you and MINIMO. I just joined at the end of March so I'm a newbie too. You can check out the Calendar to see a listing of upcoming events. There are a number scheduled in June and July and a few of us are joining a C3M (Central Maryland Mini Motorists) run up in Fredrick (MD) towards the end of the month. I'm glad that MINIMO already has a name, that saves Ali from having to ask. Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street

And if you ever want a photoshoot let me know! i love to shoot cars! but never have i shot a mini!!!!! www.letravailbyj.com WELCOME! Excellent choice getting a MINI (of course I might be a bit baised with that opinion :laugh:). I'm also new, approx 6 weeks with my MINI, and I can confirm that this forum is the best place to get MINI answers from your next door neighbors. Additionally, as Bert mentioned, C3M is the other local MINI enthusiasts group and they have some upcoming events/drives. So fuel up and get ready to ride. :motor:
TATTRAT Posted June 3, 2012 Report Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Nice to have another 1st gen on board! Grey for the color is kinda generic, but if you pop that bonnet, you will see what color you are on the left brace, EX: Dark Silver. . . . MINIs meet all over the place. The longer you spend with the group, you will see that there are may Club organized meet and greets/runs/gatherings, but there are also lots of impromptu get togethers and what not. there are also LOTS of photography enthusiasts/pros here too. Tiggrr, and Merlin are the resident photo buffs(I would love to be in those ranks), and handle a LOT of the photography with the group runs. I like your shots, ad I am sure that others will agree. Great people work! EDIT: I hope you aren't the same jonniehenreqiz that has been bumping 2+ year old threads on another site that I mod on. . . if so, don't be a PITA here, please. Also, don't call people racial slurs. Edited June 3, 2012 by TATTRAT flickr
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 3, 2012 Report Posted June 3, 2012 Hey jonnie and MINIMO Welcome to the forum, I see you have already named your MINI so I don't have to harass you about that. You probably have a dark silver or a pure silver. Dark silver is more like a charcoal metallic and the pure silver is well, a pure light silver. I hope you'll join the full club which then gives you access to the clubhouse and club vendor discounts. I checked out your site, LOVE your work!!!! You have done some travelling, looks like you've had some fun. I really like your portraits and muppets were a pure delight. Where did you find all those old rusty cars? You've got some skills. Once my knee gets better it would be great to see some of these locations where you're shooting. Here's my site if you want to see any of my recent work, I'm still in the process of getting it up and running, so it's not complete. http://alicyndrew.smugmug.com/ We do have a lot of fun club activities and we love to talk about MINIs. Hope to meet you at an event soon. Ali Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
