TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 That was fun! Thanks Hamesh, Laura and Alan for facilitating such a wonderful day of MINI fun.

tucker-n-buddy Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I second the thanks to all of those responsible for arranging the trip. Might have to leave the kids at home next time so we can do the whole run. The mini just isnt big enough for 4 adult sized people. May have to check out that countryman when it come [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maacodale Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hey Folks, we had a great time. I think the other R MINI guys did too. I'd love to see half that many MINI's come out to our events. Of course we did have 24 at our Fall Colors Run. Once we got out of suburbia the roads were great. No matter how many ru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAB 67 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I too had a great time; many thanks to those who orchestrated it. As for suggestions, it would be better if those relaying info over the radio identified themselves by group and position within the group so that the rest of us could put the info/warni JAB 67 Fairfax, VA 2004 MCS, PW/B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I would prefer Sat both because of the food options at the restaurant and also because I could barely drag my butt out of bed at 6:00 this morning. I sent Mark an email about a party and he said he was too tired to think about it or ever doing anything Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
