We now have 96 MINI's signed up to run the dragon at midnight. . .

Makes me think of the Jimi Hendrix song. . . . "If 6 was 9"

4 more MINI's and we'll break 100 and become the only event to break the triple digits without offering a catered meal!

We should probably make some guidelines for the run, like send cars off in 10 second intervals or something, so people aren't running over each other. Fastest drivers like Ryan & Kool up front, people like me behind them (quasi-fast) and then medium and slower drivers in the back, that way the fast cars won't be tailgating. Remember to turn on those rally lights, teehee! Blinded by the light...

I quit procrastinating to make it 100 Told you Casper had to come out at midnight. Only trouble is I have now bought a classic Mini Equinox with Sun and Moon theme. It will be hard to leave her behind at Tapoco and I have yet to figure out how to drive two cars at the same time.

Actually, Jer, I think kool likes to be last, so he can be sure everyone is okay! It's up to kool and Yucca to lay down the rules of their event. Basically, it's DRIVE SAFELY, stay in your lane, and HAVE FUN!

I am really irritated that I cannot make it this year. I had a blast on last year's run. I WILL be there in '06 however. I am bringing some better camera equipment (and skills) to take the "headlight" shots at the turn around. Have fun guys and be safe!

we will miss you and your photography, but I just know that someone is going to make sure that a top-notch hampsteresque photo is taken in your honor!

I think the pic is worth posting again. . .

too bad you can't make it
this year we'll have so many kars, that when we do the headlight show i'm sure we'll attract a UFO and it might even land and we'll make first contact
and no Driving_Hamster to document it on film.....i guess we'll have to make due with my disposable camera

102 MINI's now signed up to slay the dragon at Midnight!

I have just received our shipment of glowing spermies, and this year we are going with a rainbow assortment of colors.

There will still be the klassic kool blue, but we will also be offering dragon skin green, road stripe yellow, and dragon blood red (it's kinda purple).
