Go Paul, its your birthday, back in DC, Go Paul.....

 

I'm pretty sure I'm going to make this event. Going to see how well the mental health is holding by the end of the week, that's what is going to determine if I participate. Unless someone wants a navigator, in which case I can do that too.

 

Here's where we're at so far...

The plan is to meet at the rest stop on I-95 located between DC and Baltimore with a planned setoff time of 09:00 - from there we'll freeway motor to I-476 near Swathmore where Eric from Helix will meet up with us. The twisties are located off of I-476 and Eric is working with myself and Paul! to get a decent route map. We should be arriving at Helix by Noonish, doing burgers and photographs throughout the afternoon.

This is a low-key event, and the focus will be to hang out with other regional groups at Helix as well as meet other folks and get some good tech info about mods for your MINI. This will NOT be like Dragon where Eric was a task master installing pulleys/intakes/suspensions etc...

Eric will have a hose avail for individuals wanting to suds up their cars and get some nice pics from the vendor providing the shots.

 

Sounds like a good plan. We at NEMINI are excited to see some new/old friends from DCMM!!

 

Understood Krut. Thanks in advance for setting this up.

 

Well, work has reared its ugly head again... this Friday is our next network outage... which means an impossibly late night, and the inability to attend the run on Saturday, since I'll be "recovering" in bed all morning. Sorry I will miss out on meeting up with Helix and the NEMINI folks - I hope you all have a great time!

 

That's NOT funny!!!!

(My next birthday, I'm 30!! )

(Well, physically anyway. Mentally.... )

Oh, to keep this on-topic, I have to talk with Eric to make sure, but it looks like I'm not going to be doing much. Krut left me a message today that Eric is pretty much taking care of the run, and since were just freeway-motoring up there, we should be good to go!


-Paul!

 

If you're not feeling up for the drive but you want to go, my passenger seat is empty!


-Paul!

 

I should note for whoever is reporting numbers to Eric that my RSVP was for 2 people, 1 car.

 

RSVP your numbers here.

Krut + 1 1/2

 

MINInurse/JustJAY 2! (hopefully we will have SoulFire back!!!)

 

WINO will be sporting two occupants.

 

gemini will have 2

 

possibly 3 but will be substituting cheesesteaks for burger/BBQ fare

 

Count me in for the Helix/Philly CS run.

 

If you need to know about the NEMINI people since our thread isn't doing much and since it is your event...we're just crashing!
6 cars - 8 people

 

WOOO HOOOO, and it's your birthday! (For real, Paul! and Jen) This will be so much fun! Can't wait to see you all!

 

I am probably not going to be able to decide until Saturday morning. I was driving home last night realizing all the crap I need to take care off before my vacation and thinking that I probably need to get it done rather than drive up to Philly a day early........ isn't that just very responsible of me?

hates responsibility she does

 

That's a real bummer Jen. But I hope you can get things done at least.

 

I'm afraid I'll be a last minute decider too. Juggling parent's doctors appointments and boat repairs. Just got a badly needed part (for the boat not a parent) I've been waiting well over a month for. On the bright side I just worked two 90 hour weeks so if things calm down I might be able to take some comp time and catch up.

 

Most likely I will be there... Got to get some last runs with Mia... Im gonna miss her

 

Are you trading her in when Mia's sucessor is delivered? Or is she going to be sold privately?

 

oh man...would love to attend.
its a shame no installs are being done. would love to hook up a short shift. oh well....if anyone from the nyc/rockland/westchester area is headin down let me know. i hate showin up to parties solo.
actually will have to wait and see to rsvp.

 

Sylvia will be showing up with 1 Sherwin. Thank god that rest area is like 15min from where I live.

 

Rival, I'll be heading down from Stamford. Disappointed too that there are no mods going on, I wanted a pulley! I'll be going down I-95 to NJ Tpk to Commodore Barry. Figure I'll leave Stamford at 6:00, meet you at the Alexander Hamilton Rest stop (1st southbound rest stop) at 7:00 or at Molly Pitcher (3rd southbound rest stop) at 7:45. Let me know. Rgds, Michael
