I understand your hesitation.  Check out the Names with Faces Thread, I think that is what it is called, and you will be able to put weird Forum log-on names with real names and faces.  Also locations for those faces.



Most current photo of my myself and my wife, Stephen & Lee, on a MINI vacation last Spring.

And our MINI's




I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

Big Foot....

The fellow who took the photo for us was a French Canadian trucker who just rode his bicycle up here from a Rapid City truck stop!  Maybe he spotted it and included it in the photo just for grins?  I have a photo of Devils Tower from the same trip, maybe I should look more closely to those, Big Foot might be following us!

OK, so this is the day I got her.  I will have more in the future, she is much prettier in the sunshine :) I hope this isn't too large a pic, I don't know how to change that.  I am sad I can't join and meet you this weekend, I will be out of town :(  But I definitely look forward to the time I do!

When you want to post pictures, click the last icon on the message box (the zigzag box with the arrow) to get the full editor, then click the "little tree" to Insert Image....but you aren't "there" yet.  You have to "Choose File" and then "Upload" and you are almost "there."  Last step is to click the picture in the "File Name" box and click "OK"

It's a lot of steps, but the picture is worth a thousand words.....

Welcome to the group!

This is quite frankly one of the coolest group of people you will meet.  ... let's be honest, they all have MINI's so you know they are cool Wink

Looking forward to meeting you in person some day at a PSMINI event!

Or, in the case of Genie B's pictures, a hundred thousand words!

Thanks, Jack! You're a sweetie!

BTW, our vehicles seem to always be out of gas . . . we lie in wait of lower gas prices!
