    If you find one let me know. I'm trying to create a list of all the clubs (not just ones associate with MA).

    It's basically a dead forum that was based out of the DFW area so no where near me.

    Yeah, there is not much in the way of local MINI clubs in Texas, that I have found. When I was a member at Motorsports Ranch (MSR), I used to see MINIs on open track days on a regular basis. I tracked a Miata at the time, so I didn't get to know any of the MINI owners. But, I tend to assume that there are still people tracking MINIs there.

    Austin would be a great area for a club, because there are so many great roads and destinations in the Hill Country.

    Yeah. There was an active club here when I first moved here. They were about cruises and car shows but at least there was a club. I ditched the MINI and stopped attending and it seems the club disbanded in the meantime.

    When I was in SoCal the SCMM was a great group. Nice mix of showers and goers. Friendly folks all around. Karting league and a group of folks that actually tracked their MINIs.

    I don't know if that can happen here in Texas, though.

    They aren't as active online as they once wer, but MetroplexMINI is a huge Dallas-based club. Several years ago my wife went to visit her mother for a week. I went 7 days straight going to a club event every night. Happy hours, monthly ,eetings, rallies, DIY days... super active!

    Dallas is a 3.5 - 4 hour drive from Austin. Unfortunately, not too practical for regular meetups.

    Oh yeah.... no way Austin could call Dallas a local MINI club. I was replying more to Casey who said there weren't any local clubs in TX, when the Dallas club is one of the largest and most active I've seen.
