 Topic: WHAT PORSCHE IS SAYING!!!Posted: November/29/10 at 11:39am |

PORSCHE PRIDE! POPPYCOCK!
LET'S SHOW THEM MINI MIGHT!!!!!
Mini owners here's the latest from the Porsche Crowd:
Porsche Pride is at stake! The Puget Sound Mini Club has issued a challenge to PNWR members to see which club can make the best showing and bring in the most $$$ and food donations for the Northwest Harvest Food Drive next Saturday, Dec. 4. They’ve even put together a cheeky video that claims we Porsche drivers are afraid to bring our cars out if winter weather even threatens (http://vimeo.com/17245616 ). Please make plans to bring out your Porsche (rain OR shine) loaded with food and/or cash for Northwest Harvest. We need to make a good showing and not let our club be embarrassed by a bunch of little British cars! Help us make this a huge success!
If you are unable to join us on the day of the Food Drive you can drop off any nonperishable food at Park Place Motors in Bellevue from now until noon on Dec. 4. Social Chairs Larry and Sherrel Nelson will be leading the caravan making our delivery to the Redmond Town Square drop-off station. Meet: Saturday, December 4, 1:00 p.m. Marymoor Park – west side near the baseball field Join them for a late lunch at the Redmond Coho Café after the delivery. Please send them an email and let them know so that they can give the restaurant a headcount. Email Larry at Diratlarge2@pnwr.org Questions about the event: Contact Larry Nelson at Diratlarge2@pnwr.org or 425-432-8723
Full details about the challenge and what items Northwest Harvest really needs can be found on the PNWR web calendar here WHAT DO THEY MEAN BY: "A BUNCH OF LITTLE BRITISH CARS!"
This is the latest email from our overconfident cousins.
We can't let these Porsche People intimidate us by their shear numbers! (2000 + members). Remember we have a BIGGER BOOT!!
NOW LET'S GET TOGETHER AT SEATTLE MINI AND SHOW THEM OUR MINIS ARE MIGHTY! |

Shouldn't this be in another Thread?
As if by a miracle we end up with more cars then we should consider changing our club logo to Mighty Mouse, or a slight variation thereof as to not ruffle Copyright feathers. It might not be a bad idea in any case. S. Edited by SMOG-1 - November/29/10 at 11:51am |

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

I like the Mighty Mouse idea. If someone complains about copyright, just remove it.
I don't think anyone would complain.

If you took this photo, put a Union Jack Cap on Mighty Mouse, and had the text "MINI" on his chest, I think it would be a winner!

How many places do we have that are collection points for food drop-offs besides Seattle MINI? Is Northwest MINI collecting as well? I wish there was a MINI dealership in Bellingham or Burlington!

Not sure, but I do know that Mini Corporate could sell many more Mini's if there were more Dealerships, and not owned by the same person, so real competition could exist. We in the Westsound could benefit with one in Poulsbo, making it a central location.

Yea, not to mention that there are hundreds of MINIs up this way. I see them all the time. And we have to go to Seattle for service. Even just putting a service center up here would be a big help to MINI owners. And I'm sure the B.C. people would trek down here as everything is cheaper here than in Canada.

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

I'm doing a drop off @ my business & I think some other people were acting as drop off points. Don't know of anything up your way Carole! Talked to Seattle Mini & they don't have a single donation yet! YIKES!!!
Cheers!

I am taking in what I could get on Saturday since I sign the paperwork on the new Mini that day. Joining the small convoy to Redmond Town Square will happen.

I have a private stash that I'll be bringing with me on the event day. It's just my own donations though... it won't feed an army...

Do you mean to tell me that with all the employees at Seattle MINI, they don't have one donation? I'm on social security and I've been buying a few extra things each week. I'm sure they could all chip in for a donation or bring a few cans of veggies or fruits to work. Carole

I'am a disabled veteran, for the last 44 years, now on Social Security and retired and still managed to put food away for the cause.

Instead of Mighty Mouse, how about GIANT KILLERS - take away the moniker Porsche is so proud of!
I was just at NW Mini, and they have a pile of food they think is going to NW Harvest. I will talk with Eddie Bang (sales manager) tomorrow and see if they can join us. So - am I going to get my butt kicked if I invite some members of that southern club? Pat |

Carole, I'm not defending anyone, but I think they understood that this event went till the end of Dec., how I just don't know. Flyer's are there with the Dec. 4th. date. Pat, it would be great to have the south enders join us. Don't know the "history" of this whole thing but this is not the "TIME OR PLACE" to have differences.NW Harvest is a charity that does work year round & they don't need "politics" they need to reach their goal for food donations.
Smog 1--I like your style!!!!
Cheers!

I totally agree, politics should be put aside since it does nothing but create problems.

Pat I don't see why it would be a problem, these is about NW Harvest and Mini's not politics. Plus we need to sick Brenda on NW Mini. For those that don't know we are posted nationally on this.
