Hello.   I just found this site, and i thought i would say hi and introduce myself.

I am janelle, i am 23 and i bought (blackjak) back in December, and i adore him!

something about me:
I graduated college last june, moved back to washington, and saved enough money to buy blackjak.  It's been a dream to own a mini since i traveled to England back in middle school.

something about him:
He is an astro black automatic cooper, with bonnet stripes, tinted windows, reverse jack graphic,  chrome exterior accents, cold weather package, dual sunroof....yeah he is kinda my favorite.

Hi, Janelle - welcome to the forums.  What year is your car?  Where did you get him?  I think you'll like this club - people are pretty serious about their cars, and are really into having driving fun.  Hope to meet you soon.

Hi Janelle,
Welcome to the club and hope to see you at a future event.  If you haven't found it yet, check out the car show scheduled for August 16th at the LeMay Museum in Spanaway.

Oh, i guess it would help to say that he is 2007 and i bought him at NWmini.  quite an amazing christmas present for myself!

I am excited to find this group, because i was thinking that i was the only one in love with my mini....and i am pretty sure that the mini's i pass on my way to work in the morning are starting to get annoyed with my constant waving!

Welcome Janelle,
More and more things seem to happening every week around here. I am there is something that the club is doing that will suit you or at least a do not miss item. Which as Chili-S points out the car show we also have a big event we have been invited to over at the Redmond Town Center http://www.psmini.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4028

Nice Mini can't wait to here more.

Welcome to the great group of people who call themselve a car club but are sorta more like a big family.  We all ove our MINIs - and I'm pretty sure we all wave - even when we are in our other cars.  John and Ron have pointed out a couple of events coming up and you can always check the Events Calender to see what is comning up and also check out the completed events to see what we have done so far this year.

Greetings and congrats on the new Cooper!
 
What Scoop is trying to say is his "other" MINI (mine) is black with bonnet stripes. The ABs are the best ones!

You might be interested in the gauge faces I have.  Black/grey union jack for both the speedo and tach.

Hi Janelle,

 
A warm welcome to you!  Smile Glad you found us. Thumbs%20Up  Congrats on owning a MINI at such a young age.  I wish I could've bought a new car when I was 23 years old.  You must be a good steward with your money.  I hope to meet you and your MINI at one of the get togethers coming up. 
 
Cheers,

I know I posted photos here at some point, but I can't seem to find them.  So, until then, here is where my wife ordered them from:  Outmotoring

Hello Janelle!

I love the Astro Black with the black Union Jack- bet it looks great with the stripes too.

I'd been wanting the UJ Gauges to match, but there's none for the R56 yet Cry

It's turned out okay though, since I'm sure I would have been tempted to go all crazy with the UJ theme, and the mention of importing the Union Jack wheels was starting to scare Rebecca.
