Yeah, me too!

So, who could build a little, nice website for us?
I can get someone to do it here, that I know through another area of interest, but it would probably cost about $800.

Im game!

And you shouldn't have to pay for website development. I think there are enough MINI owners with technical skills to aid in this area!

What events do you want to plan?

I'm totaly game!! I just need to get me a mini first! I'll place my order with Fairfield Mini in like 2 weeks. What's the deal with the test drives tho? I went out with Fabrizio a couple of days ago and it was 5 minutes long on the backroad. Are all of them like that? Not like a I need a longer drive to make up my mind

Motor on.

Can anyone do up some nice drawings of the MINI and Mini that we could use on our website?
Simple, clear line outline sort of sketches?
Thanks!

Website tech skills I can help with. Drawing? Well not exactly my area of ability but I'll give it a shot! Post my results when I get some.

Willing to volunteer for sure. And a road trip to Canada sounds fun to me!

the drawings? Well, sure, if you're into that.
If not, just outline kind of things., maybe could be used just for fun things to have on the site.

So now that it's warm out let's get something going.
There is a Connecticut Autocross and Rally Teams (CART) autocross in either Bristol or Waterbury on April 13th. I am almost definitely going to be there, so that's a start.
I am in Southern CT if we want to organize a run. We could start or end at one of several places in my area that love mass displays of automotive enthusiasm.

Very cool! That would be a great first event! Can you post the details, website link, how to register, etc...?
I'll look for their site, too.

MOC website under development as we post...CT MINI...you can be in charge of this event. OK?

MAY 18 in New Milford, CT!!! MARCUS DAIRY??

Meet at legendary Marcus Dairy and head into the hills.

Or meet in the hills and hit Marcus at the end. Or skip Marcus and leave it to the Hogs. Go for a dip if the weather allows and maybe the vineyard for winetasting. Only if if we've had our fill of the 12 Most Dangerous Curves of New Milford. Motor Motor Motor!!!!

Yes, I would be happy to coordinate everyone who wants to attend the April 13th autocross. My recommendation is for everyone interested to click on the above cartct.com link, read the rules for participating and sign up early. They fill up. I'm not even sure what class we will be listed under as we (or at least MCS owners) have forced induction. I will try and sign up today as well. More on this later...
The New Milford event looks great but I think I'll be in Miami then.
