Been lurking here awhile dreaming of a Mini. Finally picked one up today! Got a 2007 MCS with only 9,000 miles! Chili Red with black roof. I would have preferred white but couldn't pass up the deal to finally get in all the fun. The previous owner did put some extreme 20" wheels on it. They are not my style and I'm sure I can sell them off to someone a bit younger than me that would enjoy them They really stick to the corners, but those potholes are killer. Anyway, I live in Evansville and have seen several others in town, including a few in my University's parking lot. I was thinking it might be time to start a "MINICCI: Southern Indiana Chapter" sort of thing. I've tagged along on some drives put on by a Miata club down here in our Toyota and have had a blast on them. It will be even better in the Mini I'm sure, and better yet with ALL Minis! So, any southern Indiana owners out there, get in touch and let's see what we can do. If nothing else, we can all tag along on the Miata club's monthly drives. They have a "more the merrier" attitude and have all sorts of cars on their drives. Chris Norrick

Hi all! My name is Matt. Also from fort Fun! Recently moved back from Albuquerque, NM to my hometown. Bought a 2008 Clubman S in NM and have enjoyed it tremendously. I too have a smile on my face every time i accelerate away from my driveway! I hope to find some twisties here in IN. We found many with the NM Mini Motoring Club ;D. I have attached a small thumbnail of Ziggy in the Jemez Mountains outside of Los Alamos, NM and the Bandelier National Monument in North Central new mexico. hope to see you all sometime! Attachments:

Most of the good twisties in Indiana are around Brown County. You may find a few scattered around and when you do make note for the rest of us.
Welcome back to Indiana, hope to see you at one of our events. We are heading to Brown County April 24th, check the site for more information.

Hey mini enthusiasts. Been wanting a mini for years - finally did it! James drove me home in January, and we've been going steady ever since. A man with more options than you ask for is usually sooo hard to find... I work downtown and commute, so James and I spend some quality bonding time together showing everyone else how it should be done. James (chili red '10 clubman) and I are looking forward to joining in some mini games soon!

Hello, It's Jack and Lil Mick from the North Side My wife is Amanda and she is expecting, due June 19th. (1st for us both). I bought Lil Mick in December of last year. I drove my grandpa's Grand Marquis for 4 years prior and it was difficult giving it up as he passed bout 10 years ago. His nick name was Mick so Lil Mick always seemed like the perfect name! Still sitting on runflats, the ride is a bit harsh for my wife but I am aiming to fix that really soon! I have a bit of the MINI bug so if you are looking to go back to stock, I'm your guy I'll be a member of the club soon and look forward to meeting others with the same obsession! Amanda would like to become a stay at home mom and I am a financial adviser for the past 8 years. We love the beach and hope it remains a beautiful place for many years to come! Always happy to go on a drive so feel free to give me a shout. We're on the north side of Indy, thanks Poor Lil Mick, he's 06 MCSA PW/B! Need Mods Badly Cheers!!

I am Jack and Jane and Steve are my owners. I was just born May 24th 2010. This is our first MINI and we are looking forward to being members of this club. Steve is in IT at the VA and I am a nurse working in a plaintiff law firm. We love to travel by ship and now by MINI. Other things I like are church, movies, and cooking. Steve is active in church and likes computers, games, and movies.
