| Its in my Blood! | so for the 24 or so people who checked this thread out...i guess the scoop on MOTR vs mini5280 is that 5280 is more into racing while MOTR dosent race their mini's...and 5280 is also for (maybe not exclusivly) for new minis. This info was from a MOTR meeting. All the people where cool, and it seems like it will be a lot of fun |

Offline | Checkout both clubs I'd say attend some meetings, runs (drives) or whatever both clubs have to offer and take it from there. I don't even have my MINI yet and I'm already a member of MINI5280. On many activities, members from both clubs (and others who probably have not joined either) are all having a good time with their new and classic Minis. In general, 5280 is composed of members who own new MINIs and the majority of MOTR members own classic Minis and several also have the new MINI. I haven't had the occasion to attend a MOTR meeting (or activity) yet, but I'm sure they're all fun people to be with when the topic is MINI or Mini. '05 MCS Purple Haze/White/Chrome |

Offline | MINI 5280 is being pretty active. I would not say it's skewed towards racing. The have some good meets, drives and even bi-weekly Foosball tournaments and Webb Motorsports. Look forward to seeing you someime, I promise to flash you ![]() 2003 Cooper S IB/W 2000 Audi A4 1.8TQ |

Offline | MINI5280 and or MOTR Hey, I'm with Rick. I belong to both. Some months I get functions with both, sometimes just one or the other. The decision has to be yours but my experience is that both sets of members welcome you, both treat you like friends, neither runs it like a business, and both do different sorts of activities at different time. I am quite sure that 5280 and MOTR club leaders invite and welcome the other's in to their activities openly. It may be that some find more pleasure in Classics vs Neo's but that is not exclusive of the other. Frankly, I know that MOTR had a well attended Halloween event last weekend, and MINI5280 has it's biggest event of the year on Nov 14 at Ralph Schomp MINI... I say, check em both out and decide for yourself. Hey, for $25 each, they will at least keep you in touch and allow you to mingle with other MINI Mini owners any time or any way you want... |

Offline | Hi, I don't belong the either but was wondering if anyone has experience or could recomment a shop to look at my transmission for repair. Just looking for confirmation of a local business or the dealer if that has worked well. Craig Chueygman |
