I have noticed several new names pop up on the board membership rolls. Please take a minute to introduce yourself, tell us about your MINI and jump right on in.
Even if you are not a SMM club member we welcome you to join us in chatting on the board about MiNis and other subjects.

OK, I'll jump right in.
Hello all. My name is Zane, and I'm the happy owner of a 2002 MINI that I bought used June. His name is Id. I sent my check in yesterday, so I'll be a real member soon.
Id and I went to Nashville today for a checkup and he's doing wonderfully.
In the real world, I live and work in Knoxville and am looking forward to a good excuse to go for drives.

Thanks for the welcome notes. In case this person checks the bulletin board....if you are the owner of a black and white MINI, and you yelled at someone on Kingston Pike to check out the Smoky Mtn. MINI website, you are the one that recruited me. Peace.

:DYep, that was me in the Black and White that gave you the link. We do stalk people, and sometimes we get into trouble, eh Dave K? We will soon have some more cards to give out. Every new member must recruit at least one more new member! ;D

Hmmm. I think David and Sarah and David and Donna recruited each other; I think that David K recruited me, online, and I think I bumped into David and Cathy Van O at the Jefferson Diner in Oak Ridge. Amazing, isn't it, how things grow!
Happy New Year to All!

Yes, and no telling how many were recruited off of our original chat site, Topica. Thanks a $million Suze. You started all this stuff and then followed up with our GREAT Website. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Hey me too, me too. I think I will take the honor of being the first club member (correct me if I'm wrong) with a mini that is neither a mini nor a MINI. I have a 68 Wolseley Hornet with a 998 engine and drum brakes. None of your foolish starting or stopping power for me if you please. David K has very nicely offered to help with the stopping part so I'll probably try to get up that way for the February meeting.

Welcome Zane and Julia both. Julia, Your Woseley does put you first in the variant category definitely. I will be glad when you can bring it round to a meeting or drive. Everyone will enjoy seeing what David and I always call "the Mini with dignity". I hope you are able to slow down now and you guys enjoy your long vacation.

Hello! Glad to know there is a Mini club in East TN. My wife and I are Knoxville residents and are considering buying a Mini, but since there is no local dealer we're worried about service. I'm sure others have had the same concerns. Any suggestions about where/how to buy and where to get service would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome and we are glad you are here. Your question is one we have all asked ourselves at one point or another. It is a factor in your purchase. I am going to start a new thread on this as several others may add to this.
