VIRGINS on the Dragon

We were first timers and I'd like to thank Dane and Christy for their kindness. We met them at a Georgia Force game one night when I decided to take Mo' Better Blues for an outing. A car isn't safe in the city as I found out when someone dinged my other car---unacceptable...so Mo' Better is a bit of a Garage Queen.
Anyway, we really enjoyed the trip despite the rain and arriving on Saturday.
I noticed in another post that someone mentioned that their local mini club was not very friendly and clickish---unfortunately there are unhappy people in the world but the good side is that there are kind, friendly, and loving people in the world also...and we out number them. Unfortunately, we encoutered one unhappy woman like this in NC on Saturday---I usually just feel sorry for those types of people and become even more encouraged. Without getting to serious and preachy, over the last 3 years I have really learned that life is too short. Enjoy your car; you will find people who are genuine once you start believing and projecting this attitude into the universe.
Anyway, I've thrown together a quick comic of some of our photos from the weekend. This is my first time using this product---so First I hope it is accessible.
Secondly, I hope you enjoy and I wish everyone the best.

Nice pictures. Its amazing how you can be somewhere all week, and still not see all the cars. I did not see the cabrio with the bodykit while I was there. Looks nice!

You're welcome and it was our pleasure! I love seeing newb's experience it all. It reminds me of the things we should never forget when going to the Dragon (like not being a bitter pill). The pictures are awesome! It's kind of cool to see Icarus in action. Thanks for the props!

Look forward to see our new friends again at Georgia Force tailgating or an Atlanta Mini event! Call anytime you want go motoring. The Georgia Dragon is only an hour away.

I really like the photo layout, too!

Looking forward to seeing you again at an AtlantaMINIs get-together soon.
