Hello!
 
I got my Mini on Thursday.  It's a 2004 and is silver with black stripes on the bonnet.  It has a sunroof.   I believe it must have a sport package.
 
If anyone is coming to Skagit County for the Tulip Festival, let me know!

Hi Rachelle,
 
Congratulations on your new addition to the family!  I'll be at the Tulip Ralley on April 26.  Are you participating also?  If so, I'll be looking forward to meeting you and your Mini.  It sounds like we may get a great turnout of MINIs.  Hopefully we'll meet soon...
 
Happy Motoring,
Brenda Smile
 
P.s.  Don't forget to personalize your ID.  I'd love to hear the options/mods your Mini has.  Post some photos too when you have a chance.

Welcome to the club and forum Rachelle.  This has been a busy week for new owners and not just new one the adoption lines must be on fire for Minis. Big%20smile If you post some pictures inside and out we all can help you identify some of your options, or just go to one of the coffee/breakfast meets in your area and your will get a lot of help. If not just ask questions here we are happy to help.
Happy Motoring

Rachelle -
 
Welcome to the club!  As Brenda said, lots of us will be attending the Tulip Rally  - we had 54 cars last year. 
 
This is a great place to learn lots of things about your MINI and to meet some very nice people.  Feel free to tell us more about yourself and your MINI - and to ask questions.  Lots of knowledge and experience available here. 
 
Good Place to see what we are about is to check out the Events Calendar - both the scheduled events and the completed events.  We do lots of different types of events and are always looking for suggestions.

That is a little harsh. It is more like "I married a cone torturer". Were they really dead?

Rachelle - Nice color combo choice.  I love it!  That was one of my color choices that I almost ordered...  I changed it last minute however.  I wish I could own three or more MINIs... Maybe seven for each day of the week.  LOL Shocked

Hi Rachelle - like you I got my MINI second hand, and I wasn't planning on getting mine when I did either!  I went to Costco to get the last Harry Potter book and brought home a MINI!!!  I hope I get to meet you at an event soon.  I live on the other side of the mountains, but have family and friends on the Eastside.  I really like the color combination!Welcome!!!

Rachelle, 
 
Welcome to mini ownership and motoring. Good to see more ladies are getting mini's and enjoying the ride. Hope you meet you at one of the events i.e. tulip rally?

Thanks everyone!  I am really excited about the Tulip Rallye and I am looking for a navigator.  The husband said no. My mother wants to but may have to something else.  My daughter would be the next option, but at 16, she can't come to the Casino....  Hmmm.

I LOVE this car.  Is it normal to still be smitten nearly a week later?  I got a "nice car" from the mocha girl last night...No one ever said that about my Dodge Grand Caravan...
 
My daughter keeps saying stuff like "if I learn how to drive a stick will you let me drive your car when you go to DC?"  and "Is is hard to back out of the driveway?" 
 
I love this car so much that I have devised a plan for getting a new one....  Assuming I pay it off in the next 2 years, I can give it to her as a graduation/going to college present and order myself a 2011.

It is normal to to suffer smitteness after years of owning a MINI.  It is a lifestyle choice more than just car ownership.  Best thing to do is enjoy the fellowship with other smittenees.

Hey Rachelle,
 
Good luck trying to find a navigator. I got the Hard Luck Award last year as I had 3 navigators pull out on me before the Rally.  Your right about your daughter not be able to go into the casino but she can go into the cafe or buffet area.  Maybe with all the mini's outside she'll be too busy checking them out to want to be inside. LOL BTW what about "silver bullet" for a personalized plate?
