I met Linda who is the proud owner of a 05' MCS. Grey with Blk Bonnet Stripes.....Great looking Mini! She and her husband are looking for new tires so hopefully we can be of some service to them. It was nice to have finally met her/their Mini b/c I've seen them in town on many occasions, but I've never been in BlueMini in the past...... I did mention that PSMINI would be driving over here some weekend in the next few months possibly. I'm still hoping that I can find time to put something together this summer. Also, it seems that she & her husband know a few other Mini owners which could hopefully lead to more members
BlueMini
PS...Lancecd, let me know what your up to. I would love to go for a drive sometime soon....

I saw BlueMini's twin tonight or at least nearly twin. It was a Blue/Wht. MC. I pulled off to the side of the road so that they could catch up with me (red light) but they were headed in a different direction. Hopefully I'll see them in town and swap info. BlueMini

I have spotted a few MINIs around town, but have not made mental notes of exactly when and where. Thus the lack of post in here lately.

"Lancecd"
My wife and I will be moving sometime this up coming month and I wanted to try to get your "Go Mini" Magazine back to you. Let me know where and when I can get that to you.
Thanks, Tristan

Are you ever downtown?
I work at People For People (3rd and Lincoln), and am there most weekdays 8 to 5.
How was the Tulip Rally?

It has been a long time since I've posted in here...
Today I saw a MCSC, blue w/checkered stripes and or course he had his top down. (considering how hot it is here in Yakima)
It was a nice looking Mini! MCSC are growing on me. We may have to get a Rag Top next time around!

What an evening! 1st off, I stopped at the home of a gentleman who has been trying to sell his 04' Red MC for a while now (right off of Tieton) and there was a second 05' Green MC in his driveway. Once I finally left there I went to Borders and ran into RedDwarf...How crazy is that (perfect timing!) I had a great night Mini spotting!!!! Anyone else care to visit Yakima so that I can do this again!!!!
I'm also trying to get a few Mini's to join me for the Winged Victory Rally.....
Peace Out Yo!

I spotted 2 MC's this evening. One is located just a few blocks away from me on 19th Ave just about Frankling park and the second one was in the new Safeway parking lot right off of South 1st.
Anyways, still wishing that I had more time so that I could start a group over here and or get all of you over here for a drive!

Yakimini, there was a new Royal Grey (Gray?) from Yakima at the ABFM last Saturday. Her name was Kathy, and she was there with her husband and son. Real nice people. I gave them info about PSMINI, and they seemed very interested in hopefully joining us.

Wow, what a night!!! I went to the McDonalds Hot Rods and Harleys and got some good detailing done.
While there I met a young lady named Kate and she has an 03' MC (Brit. Green) that is in the shop I know that she reads alot of our posts but hopefully she will get involved so that I can have a buddy in crime over here in YakiMa
Also, while driving home a saw a MCSC JCW and left a calling card... What a productive night!

Well I made an appearance at the McD. Hot Rods and Harley's again tonight and caught a gentleman driving away in an MCS (British Green) and gave him a "you've been spotted card." Then around 10pmish I was on Englewood and spotted a Yellow MCS and left a card on the windshield....
What a busy day that I have had

What a fun day!!! I spotted and talk w/ 3 Mini owners today
1.)Lancecd was the first that I spotted on Yakima Ave. 2.)I met Bonne Marple (owner of a 05' Grey MCS) today in the Rosauers parking lot and she is w/o a doubt an Enthuseist!!! 3.)I did not get the name of my 3rd contact b/c the Pepper White MC belongs to his son, but I was able to give him a spotted card w/ my info on it....

Tristan,
One of my neighbors with a blue MINI told me that she was in the Yakima area and someone (I'm assuming it was you!) put a PS MINI "You were spotted" card on her windshield.
Good Work!

I saw my 1st Classic Mini tonight!!! It was British Green w/ 13" rims I think. Ryan, the owner, used to have a 03' Electric Blue MCS but he wanted the classic instead.... (he had 2 full size dogs in it, 1 in the front seat and the other in the back) After seeing it, it makes me want to own one!!!!
Earlier in the day I saw an Chili Red MC but she would not make eye contact w/ me so I left her alone.... Motor On!

Classic Mini's are very cool. I've had two rides in a classic -
one at Laguna Seca at a Vintage Racing event sponsored by Mini Mania
when the new Mini had first come out - I was teaching the newbies the
line around the track, and earlier, a bunch of us picked up a buddy's
mini and placed it between two trees on a parking strip (Rob - were you
there with me? Seafirst... dealer banking?). Later,
Bob, the owner and I went to retrieve the car. After the yuks
were over, Bob started the car, cranked the wheel over, planted his
right foot and popped the clutch. The car rotated out of the
trees, and while the property owner came hollering after us, I jumped
in, Bob jumped the curb, and we cooked around the nearest corner faster
than anything could have possibly made it. I was permanently
hooked. Just don't put my car between a couple of trees on a
parking strip. Pat

Hey Tristan,
On my way back from AMVIV I headed up I-82 and then onto I-90 and home. Just before the junction of the two, I overtook and waved to a couple in a silver S with black bonnet stripes. They merged to I-90 but then took the Canyon Road exit. Anybody you know?
Gina
P.S. I'm sorry I didn't offer you a ride home, but didn't decide to go through Yakima until after we left Vegas.

It's okay! I had to stop in Portland to drop off the Orange Convertable before I could head home....I appreciate the thought on the offer though! I don't know anyone with a Silver "S"....Only Dark Grey todate.
I did see a Chili Red MC today and also a Dark Purple MCS later in the evening! (I had a good day!) Motor On!

into town I spotted the Grey MCS that has been located at Hahn Motors
for the last few months....

It was great to visit with you Tristan and thanks for the great directions.
It has been an incredibly hectic couple of days and this is the first time we’ve had to get online. We got home from the Bend getaway (diary in another post) late Friday night and had to give Maeli’i a good scrubbing. Then it was a very early departure Saturday morning to the Tulip Rally.
WOW!!! I counted 58 Minis and at least 52 of them motored up in the convoy!!! It was AWESOME! I took a couple of shots that will be posted on that thread. Sorry you couldn’t make it. We’ll definitely drop in again the next time we’re in town
Take care,
