MINI meet - November 13th
It is in the state of Washington.
People will be meeting up in different places: Fairhaven for those in the north, Edison for those in the south.
The Drive:
9:00 meet in Fairhaven, NW corner of 12th and Old Fairhaven Parkway, used to be Stanello's, I think it's Quel Fromage now. There is a big parking lot in back. we will leave there no later than 9:15 or as soon as everyone is there, and head to Edison via Chuckanut dr.
10:00 Meet near Edison at the corner of Bow Hill Road and Chuckanut Dr (HWY 11). There is a post office on the North West corner that should have a big enough parking lot.
We will Leave there at 10:30 and head north on Chuckanut, around Lake Samish, then over to Lake Whatcom and around the south end to Hwy 9 and back to Edison. Edison tavern is a great lunch spot. The drive should be about 2 hours.
Here is a link to the route -

We will stay out of town as much as possible but there will be a few trouble areas. I will try and use the back door method we learned about on the Whidbey Isl drive. So if anyone needs to borrow a radio, speak up. I have a few spares I can bring.
Post if you plan on joining and mention if you plan on meeting in Fairhaven at 9.

Hey Chili Red Mini Owners! I have a 2011 MCS (Chili Red of course!) on the way, due in March. Previously lived in Washington, now living in Hawaii, moving back to the mainland in 6 months or so. Can I join or do I have to wait until my Mini arrives?

I don't know how you can stand to wait till March for your MINI. I'd go bananas! I bought mine in September, 2010. I could have waited for a 2011, but the only one coming in was totally bare bones. The only option it had was heated seats. My 2010 is loaded. I got just about everything I especially love the premium package as the stereo ROCKS! I also got the cold package, xenon headlights, piano interior, sport seats and other stuff. I LOVE my MINI Where will you be living when you return to the mainland?

. I have mine coming with: Xenons, Harmon Kardon SS, Bluetooth, Rear Fog lights, Anthracite Headliner, Auto trans and Dynamic Traction Control. I cant hardly wait! I am going to add accessories later instead of adding it to the sticker price. I want the Rally lights in the front, as well as a black out kit.Not sure where we will be living when we move to the mainland, its where the Marine Corps takes us. Hopefully somewhere with good driving roads
