I know about the hurricanes, but I do not know if my wife has made the connection. I guess I pretty much just have to hope for the best.
Isabel hit there in 2003. How much was actually under water? Did most of the houses get flooded? Good thing I can't afford a house directly on the beach!
I am looking forward to becoming an active participant. I ran the club here: Aviano MINI Owners Klub (Run...AMOK). The turnover rate here is so high that it was hard to keep it together after the second year though. My wife and I are excited about the Strawberry Festival next year - as well as the Dragon!
We participated in a number of HUGE events here. We were at International New MINI Meet 2004 in Switzerland and made it into MINI International magazine (Issue #3, pg 65), we made two trips to Monza in Milan for the British/Italian car show and got out on the track for an hour, and we were at MINI United 2005 in Misano, Italy.
Hello! I just found out I will be moving to the area in September. I live in Italy right now and will be bringing my 2003 MCS. Looking forward to joining an active club in the US!
