TGGRRR (Ali)

One thing I learned about drunks, they don't care about riding in the back of my cabrio and will even sit on the spare tire :stoned::cheers:

He speaks the truth, I was just so happy that everyone waved. But I learned, two hands on the wheel, crank up the tunes and drive safely. I am usually the slow one in the group and I just don't care. I don't want to squeal my tires or hit the turns faster then I feel comfortable. I know that I'll catch up with everyone at the end and no one has ever made fun of me for it. Well not in a mean way :hahaha:

Ya scared me and it's my third time :afraid:

I don't drink, so I can give rides if needed. Depending on the time you might talk me into Tapoco, but I'm not going to Robbinsville so if you drink and are staying at the microtel, bring a sleeping bag

What always gets me on Hellbender is that the swooping turns are so fun, then suddenly there's a 10mph turn and it's sharp. So you really have to watch that one way more then the Dragon. It will sneak up on you

Mark will be bringing some of his Scotch again, it was a big hit last year.

Craig is dead on right. :congrats: :rock: :top: Last year there was a woman that passed in a blind corner and Kilboy the photographer was coming in the other direction. He knows the road well and was able to avoid her. It became a huge deal on all of the forums as it should have been. Imagine when I heard it was a Hot Orange MINI with flames and a Dragon (whew). I call it Tigger's evil twin. I know I would never ever pass on the dragon, but I'd hate for anyone to even think I did. Shoot I'm almost too wimpy to pass on a straight road if I don't have my own lane. Just don't pass anyone. If someone is going too slow, won't pull over to let you pass and annoying you, find a place to pull over and let them get way ahead of you. Then you can enjoy the road and be safe. Mark and I had a Dragon run last year where we had to pull over like 3 times to let the big fat Caddie gain some ground on us before we would catch up again. Also Saturday mid day is the worst possible time to hit the Dragon. It's a total traffic jam and last year I counted like 5 cops on the road. Get out there early morning on Sat or right before dusk when the crowds have cleared. It's a blast and a fun vacation, but with any motoring activities there are risks. With this many people, it's going to be insane.

thanks Jim I forwarded you the sponsorship letter that I use to get raffle donations. Can you help with that? We'll probably need some help with scoring at the end too

:top: Thanks for sharing, nice pics

Thank you, Thank you for the great run You even ordered the perfect weather :top:

Good point, but I didn't babble at all :embarassed:

Sorry you can't make it

I'm starting to work on raffle prizes. We have a $25 gift card from Firefox restaurant in Alexandria. I also hear that we have a gift certificate from a wine shop. If anyone can help with this, I have a sponsor letter that I can send you. Approach the business that you know and ask if they would mind making a donation for the raffle or prizes. The letter has all of the tax information on it so that they can properly write it off. The more prizes we have, the better chance of success and fun for everyone.

We went to eat at Foxfire restaurant last night and I saw a Spice Orange Justa, so I tagged it. We were eating outside and I watched as the owner went to her car. She had on orange sun glasses!!!! It's a sign! I hope she comes and joins. I waved her the peace sign as she left, and she nodded back. I try hard not to be too much of a MINI stalker, so I didn't leap over the restaurant fence into the parking lot to introduce myself and babble about Tigger. Please come join us so I'm not the only orange sun glass wearing member....

I have them too and they are nice looking and do hide the dirt and wear very well. They look awesome, I can show mine off tomorrow if anyone wants to see them. Mark never had a problem with them. But as a woman, I found that certain shoes would catch when clutching. I actually put the stock one back on the drivers side. I haven't had a single shoe incident since putting stock mats back in on the drivers side.

I have a spare. If I charge up the Motorola's I'll have 3 to spare. I know there are always people with spares

We are definately one MINI this weekend. Max is having a sleep over at Passport. The intake boot split, they don't have the part in stock.

I think if you miss hitting the link on a notification email for a thread it unsubscribes you. I will also subscribe at the forum level so that I don't miss anything.

I'm pretty sure Mark and I are going to double up and bring one MINI. So if you need us to help out let me know. Max is going into Passport on Friday morning for a check engine light, not sure we'll have him back and we won't bring a loaner on a run.

July 28 they are having the school again

We really need that LIKE Button :top:

YAY!!!!

Yes you do!! Welcome :congrats:

Welcome! We have a run this Sunday, you can find details in the events forum. You guys should come out and play. We'll help you name your MINI.

You coming up Dale?
