It was Kool and I PB - Ryan had the car washed and couldn't move it for 5 hours... It's the law.

I'm definitely re-installing my CG lock before the trip!

My hubby (Dizzytt) and I made our reservations yesterday. It will probably be Bruno's 1st road trip, even though its only like 4 or 5 hours to get there.

The Great Big List of Everybody

Count me in. I will be down all week. That week prior is an Annual Gap trip for our motorcycle chat room. Bringing my MV Agusta motorcycle and the MINI. Been to the GAP several years in a row now, but this last Oct. was the first time I took "Brit" thru it. AWESOME!! It was as much fun as the motorcycle. I figure I can ride half days and drive the other half. Best of both worlds.

Motorcycle AND the MINI?! Very cool! My mom wants to come down with me and bring her motorcycle along... I want her to get a Cabrio and bring that. I wonder which will win out?

Cool there will be lots of moms there. What more could they ask for but to spend time with their children on the Dragon in a Mini ? This should be the best mothers day yet, for me and mom!

Sunshine MINI member here!

Just reserved a Laurel at Fontana!

My GF and I will be there and her father might tag along in a Scion Tc

Has the GREAT list been updated? Doesn't look like 300+ on there, would also be nice if it was numbered......
