Met a guy at Port Orchard Lowes, he was driving his 1990 Japanese Mini, a Lavenderish, Periwinkle Blue with White Metal flake/pearl top, black flares, Wash License TATAS. Bought it our of Canada, it is a RHD Japanese, with Air Conditioning and Everything.
I was driving our "Lil Red" Mini and parked right next to him. I guess they were at one of the checkouts and his buddy told him there's another Mini, he thought he was talking about a red MINI so didn't get excited at all until he saw another Mini next to his. Unfortunately I didn't have one of those trusty SAMOA referral cards with me at the time...
He lives in Olalla, has met a few people with Minis while driving around. He is thinking of swapping some sort of 3 cyl Turbo Diesel engine in place of the 998. I advised him to talk to a few of the club members before trying something like that. Said that he priced out a 1275 and could do this much cheaper, he had talked to some guy named "Chuck" on Mini Mania, (I told him that was probably our own Chuck) about engine options and such.
Anyway, I told him he should look up SAMOA on the innerweb so he could connect with Mini owners on a more regular basis... (Yeah, Yeah, I know, I should take my own advice!! Stinking work is all I'm going to say!!)
