    Mine was AMVIC back in 2007. I had just bought the MINI and was between jobs. I went out there knowing all of one person and made lots of new friends that I still converse with today.

    A Friday night Fish N' Chips even with the Michigan MINI Motoring Club.

    That was my very first MINI event. I had just acquired my Clubman a few weeks or a month or so before hand. Almost 5 years later and having traded in my Clubman for a Cooper S, I'm still having a blast!

    Summer 2005 attended British Car Night at Quaker Steak and Lube in Columbus. That's when I met Aaron Carnaby of Outmotoring and my wallet has been thin since then. Thanks Aaron!

    I remember that night! 5 years already? Wow.

    My first MINI event was the inaugural MMMC meet in early 2003, back when it was just a Yahoo group [do those even exist anymore?!]. I suppose my first "big" MINI event was when we put together the 1st MINI's on the Dragon in May '03, just one month after taking delivery of my 1st MINI Cooper S. Those were good days. :biggrin5:
