Just saw on NBC6! Congrats my man! You guys look like you are on cloud NINE! http://video.nbc6.net/player/?id=138620 Hey...but wait, those guys looked like Ferrari guys, not Mini guys!
It was pretty cool. Had to come up with a proposal to rival yours JP. It was awesome of MINI to let me appropriate thier Billboard and to arrange the news coverage. Next stop may be Good Morning America... Special thanks to Fred who was the only SSF person to brave rush hour traffic to make it down there for the event - YEAH FRED! Scottie
Congrats Scottie!!! Glad I could make it, and provide the a/c'd hospitailty-wagon!!!! Scottie and Marle engagement, take 2, was great!!!!
Congrats Scottie! That's pretty damn smooth... I just hope there weren't any other girls named Marle driving down that particular stretch of road -R
Congratulations Scottie, and Marle too! Hey Scottie, I always said you were a class act. Your old pal up north, Skip P.S. Do you have any plans to come to Chicago anytime soon?
Skip: How did you manage to find this thread??? Glad to hear that you are still around. No plans for Chi-town in the immediate future, but wouldn't dream of visiting without dialing up my OLD drinking buddy! Scottie BTW, those are a bunch of guys from the MINI club who DID brave rush hour and the overturned truch on the Sawgrass, to provide background for the story.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!! I just spit water all over my desk while laughing at this.......................... Could you imagine........ you're just innocently driving somewhere with your girlfriend, and someone has a huge billboard that asks for someone with the same name as your girlfriend's hand in marraige, and your girlfriend looks at you with tears in her eyes and starts telling you "yes, yes, yes!!!", and you have no idea WTF is going on....................Can you say "awkward moment"????????? LOL!!!!
I thought I already announced and thanked you for your presence in this thread. Just in case, the onlhy FChatter / SSFer who DID make it was Fred. YEAH FRED!!!!! Scottie
There must be a filter on Mini's website that keeps people from having stuff that's 'too crazy' appear on those billboards, isn't there??? Gosh, we could come up with some funny stuff........... *Should'a had a V-8 *Hey baby, wanna .............. *WTF are you looking at?? Watch the road you idiot! *My best friend bought a mini and all I got was a lousy T-shirt *Someone call 911, I ate Mexican food and my a*s is on fire *My Mini isn't a supercar, but neither is yours Let me get back to work, I could have fun with this all day..............................
Actually, you are not allowed to change your own message - you just give them info and they create the messages, which coordinate with your RFID tag. They made me a special tag (actual one and a spare) for the proposal. They also sent me two boxes of MINI stuff today: Hats, tote bag, lunch box, pens, sunglasses, embossed chamois, keychain and two miniture models of the proposal sign. Pretty cool those people at MINI. If I wasn't already a fan, I would be now! Scottie
