Hello everyone, just moved from North Carolina and the Tarheel MINI motoring club and I am looking forward to getting back into my MINI events, I was involved in all kinds of events from driving the dragon, to track days, to charity runs. So I am excited to get to know some fellow MINI lovers and get into some events, starting with the Northwest Harvest, looks like fun.
I'm on Camano Island so anyone near me wants to get together for a drive or just MINI talk let me know.

Nice to meet you! Cool to see a member from another club.
 
One of my good friend's boyfriend is a diehard Tarheels fan...he even has a room in their apartment painted "Tarheel Blue"!
 
Looking forward to seeing you and your ride at some events..this really is a great group. Which car is yours?

I like it! Love meeting "Justa-cooper" owners like myself. Looks like a first gen, what year is it?

Its a 2004 and I have had since it was new, I have done so much with this car, including driving from North Carolina with two dogs and two cats all the way out here, and it was a blast.

Wow, very cool! 4 animals in one MINI..that's impressive. I am still looking to do a road trip with my car beyond a couple hour drive. Perhaps the MINI Vacation in Vegas next year!

The group usually sets up a big drive down there for the big convention every year, sadly this past year I wouldn't have been able to get time off of work. Here's hoping for this next year though (it's in the Spring).

The biggest drive I have done was this last month down to Graham through Orting and Puyallup for a scenic drive and pumpkin patch. If you ever want to set up a drive somewhere feel free to bring it up on the forum-there is usually a good number of people down!

Vegas sounds fun, I might have to wait to organize a drive until I know my way around a little more, although I did drive Chuckanut drive and that was pretty awesome.

I have never done Chuckanut but my friend reminds me everyday how great it is. It's on my to-do list. Did you move down here for a job or something?

It's definitely muggy in the Carolinas. Glad to hear you like it so far. Going on drives is a great way to get to know the area. We have a few other islander's in this group.
 
Hope you are adjusting to this cold fairly well ;)

Welcome to PSMINI and the beautiful Puget Sound.  You will have many opportunities for drives, track days and social events with this club.

Nice looking CooperThumbs Up.

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

Welcome. We do not have the Dragon out here but we have a lot of awesome mountain roads for you and your Mini to play on.

http://www.roadsnw.com/western-washington-roads is a great resource to find some good twisties. Hope to see you on a drive in the future.
