I might come depending if I have a MINI or not and whats going on here at home and work. But I'll def. keep it in mind cause I think I'm having a MINI withdraw now.

 

if i can go, you can ride with me

 

I will probably be out of town for the weekend, but if not I'll try and make it at least to meet you guys at Crown.

 

Come on down! You can ride with me if Short Bus doesn't show.

Cheers!

 

Sounds like a ton of fun, but aren't there quite a few MINI's getting work done by Randy Webb, Asthetic Creations - Mike, and Solar Solutions that day? I'd make it but I'm scheduled for an all day thing.

 

Hey, Seth...

I realized I haven't RSVPed... I'm planning on being there.

Deb

 

count me in...will you post route map and directions to start point on the thread?

 

Hi 1 Fun MINI!

Plan on meeting up at Crown MINI on West Broad Street in Richmond

To get there from up north, take 95 South to I-64 West (Don't get on 295 toward Charlottesville though - there is a I64 exit several miles past the junction of 295).

Once on 64 West, Exit after several miles onto Broad Street headed West. Crown MINI/BMW will be on your right about 1/2 mile past Parham Rd.

If anyone gets tripped up that morning I'll have my cell phone - 804-683-5512

 

Well, I don't think we'll be making it. I've got to do some stuff to my car this weekend and get it ready for trading/selling!! I might list it on Craigs list. I might try a sign in the window.

Some of you have seen it:
1996 BMW 328i Sedan
White Ext., Black Leather
good condition
~93,000 Miles
New Tires (< 1Yr)
190HP, Fun to drive!

My MINI's coming soon!!! WOOHOO

 

hey scavenger - i sold my 1995 318ti on ebay - got more than I thought i would and the whole thing only took 10 days - painless! I highly recommend it.
