Its kind of ironic... a few of us meet to BS and have a cup of coffee; then we decided to fight the winter blahs by taking a short ride...

and look what happens! Its an event!!!

MINI owners are amazing!

I'll be calling the restaurant on Fri in the AM... Are any more busloads likely to sign up?

Yes, Beto... looking forward to meeting you. But I don't see your name on the sign-up page. Make sure you go to the first post on this thread and click on the calendar link to sign up.

Latest forecasts don't look to good for topless motoring, Wendy. One, I believe it was "weatherunderground" even called for possible snow showers.

Highs projected to be in the low to mid 40s.

Peter - sorry to be so tentative, but I am still tentative and Michael too. How badly would you be thrown off if +2 MINIs and +2 people just show up if we can on Saturday morning?

I don't think it will make any difference.....

.....other than we'll miss you if you can't make it

I'm warning the restaurant with our registered numbers but a few up or down won't make a big difference.

Than they don't eat. You can do whatever you want from there.

I'm hoping for another day like today , but just in case the weather is as forcast I've got Morristown Mini sending me a wind deflector so if it's not precipitating I might go top down any way .

We all know how the weather can change, but as of the 6pm news, it will be 30% chance rain and in the 40s.
So here's hoping that it will change

Look at the bright side: the colder the temperature, the stronger our Mini will be...
