Hi - my name is Sparrowhawk and I've been SUV-free for 6 months.

Any other Triangle MINI owners here?

SUV free!! Congrats sparrowhawk... the first step was recognizing you had a problem. Welcome to the MINI community. You always have friends in the Queen City, if you can throw a football, there may be a job opening up here soon.

As a native Charlottean (a long, long time ago), I feel your pain. I turned to the news after his umpteenth pick.

Well, I am a native Pittsburgher and life long Steelers fan, I really don't care that the Panthers lost but it will be a bummer to be around my co-workers tomorrow. I was just hoping to hook you up with a job.

Welcome. There's quite a few Triangle MINIs on board... and at least a couple of us also live in the Containment Area.

Glad you got rid of the SUV.

Welcome from the other side of the Triangle, Chapel Hill. Keep an eye on the forums - we'll start up a monthly meet once the weather warms up again.

Congrats on the conversion from an SUV.

There are quite a few of us here in the Raleigh/Wake Co area, and there will be plenty of opportunites to get together. Welcome.

I grew up in Cary, but now reside on the Island of Misfit Toys. Welcome and look forward to meeting you at some events.

Welcome!

Yep, we have a nice active MINI community in the Triangle - keep an eye on the event forum here - I'll be hosting a drive and meet in the next few weeks - details forthcoming.

I live in Raleigh and my office is on the Raleigh/Cary line so I'm sure I'll see you MINI'ing about!
The 2nd Thursday Triangle dinners which usually meet at Brier Creek do not historically have much participation during the winter months, but will probably pick back up around March or April .. you may want to subscribe to that thread so that as soon as they are re-established -- basically when someone posts "LET'S GO!" you'll be notified ..

I do know there is a group that is planning to participate in the city of Raleigh St Patrick's Day parade on March 14th, there's a thread on that too .. lots of other stuff going on between now and then but that one happens to be Raleigh based ..

Welcome, and see you soon!
