GreenCactus Posted November 12, 2013 Report Posted November 12, 2013 Any interest in heading to Lost Rhino after the Meet and Greet?
tampadave Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Mind you, my daughters are Ohio State and Alabama graduates. The Buckeyes play Illinois at noon, so I'll have to get to a TV by kickoff (someone mentioned "Lost Rhino"). My Roadster John Bull just hit the 300 mile mark - perfect excuse to fire up the MINI's turbo. Go Buckeyes! Roll Tide! MINI "Not Normal"! 2014 Roadster S: Pepper White; Black Seats; 6 Speed Manual; JCW Ext. Package; Chrome Driving Lamps; City Pack; 17" Cross Spoke Challenge Wheels, etc. Ordered: Aug 17th.

tampadave Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Since MINI of Sterling is open for business on Saturday, where does everyone park for the Meet & Greet? What happens at a M&G? I've never been to any MINI event. Forgive my ignorance... 2014 Roadster S: Pepper White; Black Seats; 6 Speed Manual; JCW Ext.

SneakyBaron Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 I think so, if anything look for the orange coupe probably with the angry eyes up haha.
tampadave Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 I'll probably get there close to 9:30 AM. I will definitely look for your Coupe. I'm driving a Pepper White '14 Roadster S with the JCW exterior package.

mikev Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 The area bordered in red is where most people parked last time.
tampadave Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks for the overhead shot. I'll head to the back. Look for the confused new guy in the PW Roadster. :top: 2014 Roadster S: Pepper White; Black Seats; 6 Speed Manual; JCW Ext.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 You were asking what we do We will hang around the showroom and talk about our MINIs. You will be amazed how much interesting conversation will pop up. They usually put out some snacks so we will enjoy whatever is out. The meet and greets are extremely social and casual Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
tampadave Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 Thank you! I'm new to MINI so this will be my first event.

You'll be amazed at how many ways you can talk about your MINI. MINI accessories, MINI Mods, driving our MINIs, where to drive our MINIs, MINI names, cute MINI stories...... it's endless My husband made fun of me for it, then he got his own MINI, drank the Cool-aid and is now a really good MINI chatter. :party: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
tampadave Posted November 14, 2013 Report Posted November 14, 2013 I'm slowly becoming a MINIac myself. Until my purchase, I had no idea what the MINI culture was all about. I frequent this site, NAM, and Motoring Alliance and, as each day passes, I become more enmeshed in the MINI world. And nobody cares about age, gender, race, occupation, or other personal attributes - the MINI connection trumps all. I like it. :top: 2014 Roadster S: Pepper White; Black Seats; 6 Speed Manual; JCW Ext. Package; Chrome Driving Lamps; City Pack; 17" Cross Spoke Challenge Wheels, etc. Ordered: Aug 17th.

I'm thoroughly intrigued by the Dragon though, so we'll see. Sounds amazing! 2014 Roadster S: Pepper White; Black Seats; 6 Speed Manual; JCW Ext.

Poison Ivy Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 Any interest in heading to Lost Rhino after the Meet and Greet? Interested! I just need to kick up on my essay tonight to earn the fun time. (it's due at noon tomorrow anyway)
RDG_RCR Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 Since I didn't sign up for my AutoX in time I now have a free morning. Anyone interested in going to Katies cars and coffee and then caravan over to the meet up? I'm interested in checking out OG racing while I'm out there also.

I may be interesting in checking out OG racing as well, not sure if I'll buy anything but I may be interested in seeing what they carry in-storee

tampadave Posted November 15, 2013 Report Posted November 15, 2013 Their espresso/coffee machine is pretty nice as well (and free) Decent espresso machine and the price is certainly right! I certainly hope we have a respectable turnout Saturday. Looking forward to meeting many DCMM members and visitors. :top: 2014 Roadster S: Pepper White; Black Seats; 6 Speed Manual; JCW Ext.

tampadave Posted November 17, 2013 Report Posted November 17, 2013 I enjoyed meeting several DCMM members Saturday at the MINI of Sterling "Meet & Greet". No two people were alike, yet everyone was very nice, certainly interesting, and quite welcoming to the new guy on the block. What a friendly group! Sorry I didn't go to the "Lost Rhino", but my youngest daughter asked me to watch Ohio State (her alma mater) take on Illinois at "Glory Days". You know how that goes... I look forward to future DCMM events and seeing many of you again. Dave 2014 Roadster S: Pepper White; Black Seats; 6 Speed Manual; JCW Ext.
