= CLOSING THOUGHTS =
I personally attended this event last year and it was fantastic. This basically served as my breakin period and the start of a very long relationship with me and "Twiggy" my MCS Checkmate. The dinner was one of the best restaurants I've eaten, and the roads were filled with bends. Its a great way to start off the 2007 year.I hope to see you there
Till then, Motor ON

Hey all, I Wont be making the pulley party the day before unfortunately.
wondering if anyone from Heidelberg is meeting up to drive to the start point?
If so when and where might that meeting take place?
It looks like it is going to be a great ride just to get to the beginning of the Odenwald drive !! And I cant think of a better way to get there than in a convoy of MINIs !!

I'll be coming by way of Trier down to Ramstien, through K-Town and through the Odenwald forest. I think most here are from Heidelburg... Not sure who all is from where?
If anyone from Ramstien wants to travel as a convoy, the ideal meeting place is the McDonalds off the Autobahn near Vogelway/K-Town area. Mapquest estimates travel time from McDoofs to the Esso near the starting point around 2 hour 28 minutes. Thats the short way Meet time at McDuffs would be 0900 sharp... with a 15 minute leave time.
If anyone is intrested from the K-Town area. Just post or PM me.

Convoy / Sign up
Would I be able to meet up with you as well for the Convoy??? Just to warn you though, I have a 91 mini w/ a 998 so she doesnt do as well as some of the newer minis. Also, how did you guys register, I just got here and my German isn't very good.

Don't worry about learning German. Most folks over at MINI2.info speak english. To register, go to http://www.mini2.info/forum/calendar...&day=2007-3-18
and click on the [Ich will mich abmelden] button. If it requires you to create an account, click on the Register button and the rest is pretty easy.
Let me know if you need help. Also, its not madatory to register. The planner use it to make sure there's room in the restaurant.
PM me your email address and we can send you the meeting point. We plan to meet Sunday at 0900 sharp. That means arrive early. We will then head up to the Odenwald tour meeting point. Esso gas first to fill up MINI's tanks and empty ours.

By my guess, we're looking at something like 10 Mini's heading out from Heidelberg for this event. And yes, that's awesome!
And if you're also following the pulley party thread, you know that some of us are talking about dinner and a kitchen pass for a few beers on Saturday night.
