Alright kids, lets do this damn thing already now that the weather is cooperating :fingers crossed:

These are some I've done and some that look decent road conditions, traffic, twistie and time wise. Can def take suggestions as to other routse but lets plan on doing this the 21st of May (Saturday) with maybe the following as a "bad weather" date.

Both of these start in Boston since I think it would be a good meeting point since we are all scattered to some degree but of course we can plan otherwise and will get more specifics on location once we get number of people going.

Run #1
Rt 1/1A to Kittery, ME
~2hr drive each way
Stuff to do along the way, good views, city at each end for shopping/stopping

Run #2
Rt 1A -> 127 to Halibut Point
1.5hr each way
Nice views of ocean and such. Plenty of stopping points along the way.

Thoughts/suggestions?

So lets get a vote and head count. Post replies with what your preferred route (or suggested route) is and how many cars you will come with. Lets try to keep it to MINIs but more the better so bring friends, regardless of cars.

List so far of attending:

cgaubuchon
Peter314

Just posting a reply to get kept in the loop on this, Both runs look good, we should try doing them both actually, lets just figure out when. But before that lets start a list of people who want to go.


So far:

I'm working that day :(

 

You should either:

a) call out
b) tell us a better day for you

 

I just did a pre-run of Route #2 and it's a peach...

Come on folks -- it's Spring! Time to motor...

(and count me in)

Cheers,

Charlie

 

So far there are 3 of us. Anyone else? Come on now people, its that time of year and I want to see these local MINIs

 

maybe we should try a smaller local meet before a big event like this?
does anyone wanna meet say at a sonic or fudruckers one night, like maybe Thursday Friday?

 

I don't might Sonics on a Thursday or Friday night

 

Im down for that too

 

do you two wanna do a mini MINI meet tomorrow night at sonic? we could also try Buffalo Wild Wings that just opened in Saugus on Route one north of Boston.

I'll post it over in the Boston Forum too

 

is anything happening tomorrow? I've been meaning to hit up the new sonic, haven't been to one since my trip to SC a few years ago

 

Sonic run at night on Friday, May 13th at 8PM. How does that sound? 6PM to 7PM = too much traffic on RT 1

 

I'm down for that, Count me in.

 

I am always up for a ride so count me in. Hailing from Wareham MA.

 

I'd like to tag along at some point. I'm in Southern NH about 5 mins from the border on I93.

 

Alright guys, the Sonic run this Friday at 8PM is a go. Looks like there will be 5 to 8 MINIs. Not bad for a last minute get together.

 

Ill be fully detailing Arch in Western MA Friday

 

Where are you getting your car detailed and how much? I wanna get my car detailed... but not until after Spring. Too much pollen and crap. I either need a kick *** detail job or I'd do it myself. I'm looking for clay bar and orbital buffer at the very least.

These guys do it all for $150 but I don't know if they are any good.

We should see if we can get a group rate for detailing

 

Doing it myself since I'm

1. OCD
2. Obsessed with my MINI
3. Have spent waaaayy too much on detailing supplies and have everything i need.

 

So I'm a South Shore guy and just want to make sure of where we are departing from. Sonic is on Rte 1 in Peabody?

 

Haha, we're not departing anywhere. We are just meeting at Sonic at 8 just to hang out. It's a meet, not a drive for now...

 

Just a reminder. We are going to have a short meet at Sonics on Route 1 tomorrow, May 13 at 8 PM. Please stop by to grab some drinks and have a good time with some local MINI owners.

 

I would like to go on the cruise but I have to work on the 21st. I can't get out of it because my boss is on vacation and if I don't go in there is no one else to close RO's and pay the techs

Any other day is good though. Also down for any sonic meet ups or whatever too

 

Sorry y'all, but I too must bow out on the 21st. I shall be racing with the Corvette Club at Devens that day.

Kind regards,

Charlie

 

The rain really sucks. I wish I could come but it's finally my graduation ceremony after four years of alcohol drugs and rock n' roll.
