I dunno. if you come up with something lets do it. At least over $14 of every decal sold with go to benefit the ACS thanks to our friend Forest at Full Tilt Graphics (he is the one that did our Do Dah Graphics for cheap)

Yippieee! I'm IN!

Looks like we'll be able to do this one. I'll order my decal on the 15th (got a buttload of school supplies eating up this payday) and have you mail it to me. I like to put mine on a magnet Thanx COOPERation! I am so thrilled the timing worked out on this on too. We have a young man in our church in his 20's who was just awarded the Cancer Survivor of the Year, Daniel Bickerstaff. His mother is a survivor of multiple cancers and he just lost his uncle (her brother) to Cancer.

I love how the Mini folk do more than just ride for the fun of it.

Here's a thought for possible future Mini Fund raisers....AUTISM! I have 2 grandsons with Autism and this would be a very worthy and important cause to support.

Now I'll do the giddy dance! Can't wait to see all of you again

At the Bham BMC cruise-in at HH last night they said that they're planning on going on the ride too. So there will be Minis, MINIs, MGs, TRs, and all manor of british vehicles. The more the merrier.

YAY!! The more the merrier. I am working on one possibility for handing the banner off. If that doesn't pan out I will have to go to the original thread & see who wants it next

Soul, the Winn Dixie in Chelsea has a funky shopping center address (150 Chelsea Cors, Chelsea, AL 35043) that doesn't exist on most maps. There is a Shop a Snack Quick Mart right next to the strip mall & it's address is 16725 Highway 280, Chelsea, AL. The Winn Dixie is in a little strip mall next door (East) to the Shop a Snack. If you have trouble getting a Yahoo or Google map to there PM me your street address & your email addy I will email you a map from your house to the Winn Dixie

I think we have 10 MINIS confirmed but I have no clue what the final turnout will be. People in our group are notoriously sneaky with their RSVP's so we never know til they show

I feel like we are going to have a really good turnout though. Plus some Birmingham British Motoring Club members are going to join us. Whether it's 3 or 20 we will have fun no matter what
