It's Spring... LET'S MOTOR!

I've been checking for postings on the next CORN run. I'm eagerly awaiting word! The nice weather is really making me eager to go driving... especially since it was such fun last time! Anything in the hopper yet?

If nothing else, I'll probably take a long weekend and go back home to the Missouri ozarks where we have lots of ridge running roads like the one we drove in the loess hills. I used to enjoy them on motorcycles, but it's all new for my MINI. But, it sure was fun to drive as a group.

We should stage our own autocross. Anybody own a large parking lot and lots of cones?

+1
That was our MINI's maiden voyage. Before that, it was only used to commute to work and get groceries. While the MINI does make even those drives fun it was a blast to be able to drive it for pure pleasure.

Hmmmm. Make it during the latter two weeks of the month and a Midnight Black MINI may follow you. We'd need hotel recommendations, though.

Not I. But you may want to specify expendable cones if I attend. :D

That would be great fun Rainman! I'll be sure and post a note or pm you when I know a schedule.

And +1 on cone destruction if my real driving is anything like my Forza 3 driving!

The weather isn't going to be great for driving this weekend.

We are working on an April route/tour.

If you haven't already, Coopaloop, be sure and check the run details for 4/25/10 in the Missouri Valley thread. Hope to see you there!
