Nice in E tunnel.

Nice pictures, what drives did you run? So many MINIs, so many people it was hard to remember everyones names, but the MINIs stand out.

My wife and I were only up on Saturday for a short time. We wern't able to go on any of the drives but we did spend some money at the vendors.

Looking forward to any upcoming MINI5280 runs.

Was it just me or is I-70 west out of Denver nuts??

No it is not just you. It is nuts in both directions. Sunday afternoon was not a treat until we got off at C103 where we could enjoy the drive. When we got back on at the Evergreen entrance I got off at Morrison since the Eastbound traffic was still nuts.

See you at some MINI5280 events this fall.

Yes, we were in Leadville during the race, lunch at the Brass *** aka Golden Burro, great lunch burrito.

We were coming back solo from Independence Pass and Twin Lakes. Was that you I commented to just down from the Burro, I said it was nice to see a MINI?

Cool. If we were twenty minutes later we could have had lunch together. We had just got done eating at the Brass *** also. Sorry we weren't too social we need to get back so my wife could work on a term paper! She's the smart one. Was your MINI the one with the Union Jack boot window graphic?

Yes, that would be us. Our first lunch at the Brass ***, good burrito. It would be a good Saturday run for MINI5280, lunch as the Brass ***, perhaps in October for fun.
