This is what I would do. Put the performance tires on for AMVIV and leave earlier than you planed to give yourself time to be extra carefull through any bad weather along the way. We all have driven in the snow or bad weather at one point or another with the wrong tires so it can be done if you keep yourself aware of it.

Seriously, I am getting SO EXCITED! This weekend I will start packing (perhaps underpants, perhaps not ) and hopefully clean up Malibu Stacy's interior a little bit.

13 more sleeps until we depart! W00T!

If we are having a vote, I vote perhaps NOT.

I haven't updated the site yet, but the registration count is now past 400 cars (not people as SOME events do their counts ) at 403.

He should be! They have all been a blast, but that first one was special. Where is he anyway?

AMVIV I was very memorable - we had a "parking area" roped off in the back parking lot, it was at the end of Feb and the weather was terrible, and we had close to 200 extremely enthusiastic MINI owners who had a very unique car!
Very fond memories!

You're right!
I remember all that cold wind!
Would you believe I still have some unedited video from that first AMVIV.

I remember that cold wind during the "meet" at the park, where we took over the parking lot. Some crazy guy (Randy) had someones engine 1/2 out of the car and was doing something to the pulley. Earl selling shirts and posters (they need posters again), Clo giving away stuff.......... I still have that CD.

It was alot of fun!

I also have the free CD - in fact I just downloaded it to my iPod.
Whatever happened to Penn Gillett and his "Stripper Pink" Cooper?

And not just a tight pink t-shirt, but a v-neck women's t-shirt. It was a nice Skipper moment.
