Thanks Bill for the invigorating ride today, with this being my first run, I now know what all the Mini Mania is about. My son and I had a great time, I cannot believe it, for 99% of the ride he did not play games on the cell or the DS system.

Looking forward to next weekend wine run.

Some today's images. (sorry for the image quality, I was using BB Curve camera).







Me and my "twistometer".

 

Oh that last photo is classic! LOL! That's gonna be the official photo for this run every year from now on!

 

Nice pics, great turn-out! I wish we didn't miss it, but we couldn't make it. I'm having "run-withdrawal"

 

Searching for lost MINIs

 

Another one of Bill's excellent adventures! The company and ice cream were

the best as always. To the members that have never been on one of the

runs before please come out, you WILL have a good time. Bill, are you sure

that Jeff was not lurking around somewhere? That missed turn had his

name written all over it See everyone next time or next week!

OMG! I'm so embarrassed of that picture ! I swear I shared it with Eric, but I must admit I ate most of it !! GREAT run, Bill! You've done it again . I'm so glad Eric and I were finally able to join you on one of your infamous ice cream runs. So well worth it! Weeeeee!!!!!!!! I loved meeting all the new folks too. MINI people are so nice . I can't wait for the next event.

This week an "ice cream"........ next week a "wine tasting".

 

Wine tasting? Are you taking a different co-pilot with you?

 

thanks everyone! yesterday was a blast. echo slept like a rock on the way home. best news, ice cream did not melt.

 

I won't have any co-pilot on the day, only the navigator (my better half, she's not gonna drive) and both of my "twistometer".

 

I know exactly what you mean. I really wanted to be on this one. And I'm extra jealous because you guys got to see the unknown regions of the run before I did. Well, I'm sure I will see it next time.

 

Couple of shots

 

I see Ed did in fact get his "JUSTA" badge.

I actually thought it would be funny if I got them, since my car is "JUSTA" Cooper S, not the top-of-the-line JCW. Not sure if that's funny or not.

 

Thanks! I usually feel very outgunned by you folks in your S cars, especially when playing catch-up. Figured that maybe if you saw my 'justa' badge, you'd remember that I have at least 50 hp less than you do and take pity on me!

 

I think Ed's trying to sell us a bridge in Brooklyn
