    Hey Fellow MINIacs!

    My name is John and I am from New Jersey. I frequent on other forums so some of you may recognize me, but I was referred over here by a friend.

    Looking forward to getting into the swing of this forum!

    A little about myself:

    I got my 2005 R53 in February of 2011 and have been completely submerged into the MINI Community for the past year. I've done some mods on my car but a lot of the work has gone into repairs (passed 100K miles not too long ago).

    I usually go on many MINI runs and this year I was able to attend MINIs on the Dragon, what a blast!

    I also used to own a 1981 Austin Mini 1000, but unfortunately had to sell it this past February...needed the money for Gizmo my R53.

    Hey John welcome to MA. Are you going to the Cars of England car show this Saturday with Phily Mini? They will have a great collection of cars along with classic Minis and New MINI's.

    Hi John and welcome to M/A.
    We saw Gizmo at the Dragon, but don't believe we had the pleasure of meeting you.
    I remember Gizmo - very nice! :Thumbsup:
    Love the name too.

    ETA: Were you with a group of MINIs from New England motoring together on the Cherohala Skyway?
    If so we may have met you at one of the scenic overlooks.
    We were going rogue that day...

    Thank you everyone for the warm welcome, I am glad to be here!

    Dave.0, I unfortunately already have plans this Saturday and will not be able to make it. Maybe another time!

    Little Wing, thank you! I am sorry though that I was not able to introduce myself. I was with my friends on the Cherohala so you definitely saw me then! Your car has the black jack decals on your fenders, right?

    I have a picture of Gizmo with the others in your group and Little Wing.
    Yes, Little Wing has the Black Jack theme thang going on.
    This SD card reader is broken on this computer, but I will figure out a way to upload the pics tomorrow.
    Gotta be a USB cord around here somewhere...:fingerscrossed:

    I certainly met you then :Thumbsup: I was the first person who came up to you to say hello on the first scenic overlook we stopped at.

    Yes! We met! You said something to us like "Thought you'd be alone, but nooo..." :lol:
    Andy laughed at me when we got there because I backed Little Wing into the parking spot in case any other MINIs showed up. It wasn't 5 minutes before y'all drove up and backed in with LW. Nice group of folks. We enjoyed meeting you.
    Unfortunately these pictures are not very good.
    I haven't worked with them at all, but I think the camera was not on the proper setting. But there's Gizmo, Little Wing, and friends.

    That's us! :D It was great meeting you!

    Don't have roads like that in NJ, it was such a beautiful drive.
