Maybe we could have a sepparate area for Radio Control Mini?

For what?

[DrDiff]

Doesn't matter anyway. I can't attend. It's my youngest son's birthday that way and we are scheduled to spend it with his grandparents.

[Davisio]

Ha!

I finally figured it out. Non-MINI owner's MINI. Gotcha. Now I feel stupid.

Too bad you can't attend.

Update 08/08/2005

Funkana has been changed to a Sunday Drive.

We just couldn't find a suitable parking lot. Don't worry. We'll find one eventually, just not in time for this event.

Got a time, place, and duration? :-)

Details will be posted this evening after I have a chance to talk to the Sunday drive master (Tom)! I think it will be a route we have covered in the past since it is short notice to put a new one together. Any preferences????

Timewise, my preference would be an early-morning start, so I can be back home by 1pm. I haven't been on 45, 46, and 135 in a while. Maybe a "lap of the park" in Brown County? That requires the specified early start to beat traffic :-)

I like it...so here is the plan:

Meet at 9AM (leaving at 9:15AM and I WILL be on time)

Start point will be 465 & SR37 @ Flying J parking lot

We will be taking a similar route to one that we did last fall and head towards Brown County. We have the route in mind and will drive it Saturday to be sure everything is ok (no roads closed, etc.)

We probably will take 135 back to Indy and maybe have lunch somewhere if anyone wants to.

If I have forgotten anything let me know!! I should have at least written directions, not sure if we can get maps done in time but will try.

Thanks TenCan, it sounds like a good plan to me. I'll see you there. Hopefully I won't stay up too late the night before.

We will see everybody on Sunday, should be a great day for a drive.

Great job with the route, Ten and Can! :-) There were a couple of good roads I hadn't been on before. It was nice to finally meet some of you!

I threw together a Google map of the ride, with data from my GPS. Slow browser warning: this takes longer to load than I'd like, and panning around is also kind of poky, but it does the job. Go here.

I only took 5 pictures today (and not even good ones), but I did put them on Flickr, tagged with minicci.

Thanks Ten and Can. Great drive even with the occasional intruder. Sorry you had to miss the monster tenderloin lunch.
