TGGRRR (Ali)

Tell them that I'm not looney, I'm interesting Besides, they started this whole MINImania thing, they should embrace our MINI madness :motor:

:elephant::elephant::elephant: It's time to celebrate

I would like to compliment Brian on an excellent use of emoticon here.

Maybe Brian wanted to be sure people had the menu... :deal: :eating:

This is all really informative and fascinating

I've never been, I really want to go

I think it was Steve luxor

That was fast!

HEY!!! There weren't any flowers there :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: I may have done some waving while driving :wavey:

Don't have to ask me twice!

I'm sad, I was looking forward to hanging with you and Scoopie :s: :thumbsdown: :y: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

That's a great idea Craig. Hmmm what to get at Whole Foods? Ali

That has to be the longest distance tagging

This is all really interesting. I am always a bit confused when the driving gets more spirited as to how to enter a corner, when to downshift etc.

You're right Rick! I just find in everything I do, I study technique. It's what I do. On the run this weekend I found I was able to use some of my new steering techniques and it was helpful, felt more stable as I went into the turns. Ali

I felt the same way after my first run. It changed my driving style forever and moved my threshold for what hard driving is too. Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hi, I meant to, but there were so many of us

I'm looking forward to this. I'll be calling in reservations probably Thurs night and then give them a final count on Sat afternoon. So please RSVP if you think you'll be there. Ali

We really need to get you to the Dragon

It wasn't the same without you Alan.

Here's a link to some of the pics I took on Flickr, I also put them on FB I'm not FB friends with everyone so this way you can see your pics here. I did get a few action shots in the turns that came out pretty nice. Ali

Those are great pictures, thanks so much for sharing with us. Ali

I had a great day and the restaurant was great too. I got so excited at the Gluten Free pizza crust!!! A real treat for me. It was fun playing

I'm sooooo excited about tomorrow!!!! :ridinghorse: :party: I will have Mark as a passenger so I won't be :thrasher: out in the car like usual. Well maybe a little... I'm also looking forward to lunch :eating: We're going to have a blast :motor::motor::motor::motor:

Mark gave me a list of little stuff Squeaky brakes (I guess they're really getting loud) a window that won't operate properly His grill is just broken in areas and it's never been hit (not sure if they'll cover that). Mark has a sweet deal, when Max has to go in, I give him Tigger and I bring Max in for him. When Max needs a good polish and wax, I do it. I like it

I'm trying to understand this stuff, but I know on the Dragon 30 years of instinct will kick in and I'll steer and brake like I do. It's still interesting to study technique Ali
