So it's not a pig in a poke...

The Artist suggested doing the print in black ink on a white or gray background, then each person uses a fabric pen to color their own MINI.

Here's an example, but these are two color prints:

We haven't decided what to say on the shirts. Bad news though, it's five down and 7 to go.

Minimum order is 12.

My nephews lives in Amsterdam, and has been MINI spotting there for several months because he knew his aunt (me) was going to buy one, so anyway he' sort of hooked.

I know AprilW has a MINI run planned for Ocracoke in Sept., so I kept picturing MINIs on the streets as I wandered about. I do think it's a great place for a run, but my one caution to drivers is to stay away from potholes. They are very deep! Some of the roads fill with water after a vigorous rain. You think you're driving through a shallow puddle in the street, but suddenly your'e in a trench! Also bring insect repellent if you're there after 5pm. I was ready for the mosquitos and the black flies from previous visits there, but this year we were attacted my swarms of biting gnats as well.

Still had a great time. Kayaked, boogie-boarded, ate lots of seafood. I didn' take a lot of pictures, but here are a couple.

Also, order those t-shirts! Surely there are 12 of us left!

I liked the original design that had 5 (I think) MINIs on it and 'March 2005 Production Group' or something like that. If I can find it in this thread I'll post it again.

Hi April!

Congratulations on the addition of a new MINI to the family. Having two is definitely a cool thing - that means you always get to drive whenever you want. Sometimes it's tough deciding when you're only taking one car though!

And, I want a shirt - count me in! I suppose a Small for me if they're pre-shrunk. What does that make the count? We may just have to PM some people who haven't posted in a while!

Anyone participating in the scavenger hunt? I went and took my first picture about ten minutes after reading the e-mail. Bad thing is that the first mission started at 11:59 pm, so I'm already behind. It should be fun, but we East Coast people have a disadvantage. You West Coast people should be able to do well at this! I may still have to give it a shot though...even if it means being out taking pictures of my MINI at midnight! Hey, it's only six weeks!

Yippee - t-shirts!

Debbie

Debbie, do you like the idea of black drawings on white that you color in with fabric pens? I thought that was a way to have a unique to you tshirt.

I ordered the minimum with mine and the hubby's cars on them. You could do that too, then give the extras out as Xmas gifts.

We're going to give one each to our MA, the manager at our dealer, and the SA. Hey, it's good to give back, doncha think?

When you say small, I assume you want a ladies' cut?

AprilWhine · Aug 24th, 2005, 12:27 AM

And what do we want them to say?

March 2005 Production Group

Champion Internet Big Mouths

That's actually a pretty cool idea. So you're saying that we could have t-shirts of our own cars - with our own text - as long as we order the minimum? Between me, my husband, 5 nieces and nephews, and my dad, that would only leave four more! Darn - if only they made sizes for bunnies, that would make the other four for me! :-)

That's worth considering though. I could surprise my husband with t-shirts of our MINIs! Do they do kids' sizes too?

I'm pretty sure they do.

In our order, we're getting polo shirts, to wear to work, two ts for him, two for me, and six for gifts/spares.

gaminicool · Aug 24th, 2005, 02:20 AM

How about: March 2005 Production Group - 100% Original Mini Cooper I like the custom color in idea.

Oh BTW - I got my wisdom teeth pulled today

But things are looking better. However, I hear the next day is the worst

AprilWhine · Aug 24th, 2005, 10:45 AM

Wisdom teeth yuck!

Hope you feel better soon.

gaminicool · Aug 24th, 2005, 02:49 PM

Thanks April. Actually the surgery went very well and I have had no pain to deal with

BTW - Here's a pic of me and Coolcab in Savannah

AprilWhine · Aug 24th, 2005, 02:53 PM

Nice!

crosebud · Aug 25th, 2005, 03:51 AM

April, just a regular man's t-shirt for me (in Medium). No girl cut. I'm kind of a volleyball freak, need something loose i can play in. I like to surprise my fellow players with unusual tees and a March Production Group one would definitely do the trick. BTW, I love your hubbies new MINI. The color combo is my latest favorite.

Nice pic, Gaminicool. I really want to go to Savanah sometime. Good luck with the teeth thing.

And Debbie, just a hey. Have appreciated your recent posts that have helped keep this thread alive.

Johnny L · Aug 25th, 2005, 07:25 AM

Hey, Y'all!

Glad to see the March Builders won't stop yackin'! I must confess that I've slacked off a bit, but I have a bit of an excuse:

On August 5, a new Motorist was born. Elizabeth Helen. 9 lbs, 4 oz, 19". Baby and mother are doing fine; Dad is up to his elbows in nappies (gotta speak the lingo, right?), spit up, and most of the household chores. Needless to say, I've been, uh, busy.

And, while she didn't ride home in Black Jack from the hospital, she did take her first Motoring trip before she was a week old (mom didn't go, but she greatly appreciated a little break!).

Okay, that's all for now. I'm enjoying a small moment of "alone" time right now. I wish you all well, and I'll try to get back as often as I can. Cheers!

Oh, and put me down for a shirt!!! XL!!

AprilWhine · Aug 25th, 2005, 09:41 AM

Congrats Johnny! She is so beautiful!

And crosebud, keep an eye on the Mid Atlantic forum for pics from our Ocracoke run.

crosebud · Aug 25th, 2005, 03:53 PM

Holy Moley, Johnny! Contratulations!!! She's so beautiful!!! Had wondered why we hadn't heard from you in a while. Very good reason indeed.
