We are looking forward to it! Gozer is dressing for the occasion

 

Scattered showers and T-Storms for tomorrow. How's your wet traction?
Don't forget your umbrellas and Rain-X.

 

Applying my RainX tonight..

 

I swear I uploaded a photo of my MINI (around 7pm) all washed up and ready to go.
stoopid computers! There are times when it is not operator error.

Did a complete in/out detail today. I wanted to show everyone.

 

rainy days when Minis play

 

I feel like there's something I should be doing.....

 

Another good time was had. Thanks, Jo

 

I echo MariaChick's sentiments...what a fun day! Another one that looked like it might be a rain-out but the precip stayed away, the roads dried out, and the motoring was superb. The Raven's Grin tour was a good time too (especially the slides and hearing the ladies shriek). Kudos to Smokin' Jo, as today's event was conceived and planned completely through his personal initiative. Many thanks!

Here's my contribution to the photo record:

Hope to see all you folks again soon.

(...and I confess that I did, indeed, stop at the local car wash on the way home. Gotta live up to that OCMD label... )

 

Great pictures, Gary. I especially like the shots of the MINIs on the peninsula with the fall colors in the background.

 

.....from the shrieking folks, men as well as women, at the Raven's Grin, to the shrieking tires and co-pilot on the way there, we had a blast.
It was great meeting everyone, can't wait to do it again.

 

Indeed wonderful pictures! I would like to have a copy of the
"Guide to Great Picture Taking" by Gary M.
But I think I've got you beat with MINIs on the peninsula. (photo #8)

It was a great day!
I'm glad eveyone had a good time even though a part of the drive didn't go as I had planned which added a scary factor to the drive. Remember that one curve? BTW Any chance for this run to earn an annual spot on the calendar? Enough jibber-jabber here's my pix.

One more from yesterday -- maybe some of you didn't notice the new car for which JPMM traded in his MINI at the Grin:

 

Great photos, Jo! Why has it taken so long to have us discover your skills with the lens????

 

Another great day with the Mini's and Mini folks. Nice to meet new members. Good job, Jo. Thanks for all the planning. Fantastic pictures from everyone.

Lots of nice pics -- thanks to the photogs for sharing!

 

Great pictures, Sandy! My favorites are the "crossing" picture, which is very artsy, and Mike coming around the bend on the wet pavement.

 

Thanks for the compliment Daryl, but the pics were from our son, Steve. I guess we can take some of the credit though having raised and fed him.

 

Check out this "creepy" composite created by JPMM --



...you are getting sleepy...sleepy...sleepy...

 

You did a good job with that raising and feeding, Sandy

 

I've been assembling candidate pics for next year's EIM Desk Calendar. Here's one of the Sebula Bridge crossing that didn't make the cut for the calendar (but it's kind of a fun pic nonetheless) --

 

Fabulously fantastic picture! If that didn't make the cut, we're in for a real treat with the ones that will show up on the calendar.
