Hey checked out your website was just curious how much was membership and what do you all get with the membership
Here is the answer to your question. MINI Cooper Forum : Motoring Alliance, the friendly MINI Community - Premium Membership Its a great sight.
I think this is the site you are looking for. http://www.pdxmini.com/ Not that you aren't welcome to become a Supporting Member here.
Ender, I strongly suggest you go to one of their meetings to see if you fit in. They seem to be very quiet about the club. I used to be a member, but stopped paying dues when the economy tanked as I couldn't afford to go to Portland for the few drives I was interested in. Wanted to stay in touch with the club via the website or Facebook and was told that I wouldn't be given access to either unless I was a dues paying member. This all left a bad taste in my mouth. I have tried to get some info on some of the activities this past year and got no response from the club. I hope you can get together with them and they end up being what you want in a club.
