Life got in the way....

Allen, I'm officially out of the pizza run.

Barbara is moving offices & I'm going to be helping her move Sunday. Have a great trip & eat a slice or three for me.

I want pictures of twisty roads & MINI's.

That might just work.

Is this a no spouse trip or are they welcome?

As an old married fart of 25 years my advice is to always ask your wife if she wants to come along. If you don't she may feel left out & that could have other ramifications.

I agree with Chuck if the lady would like to join the more the merrier. I think my wife is going to work tomorrow, but if not she may join as well.

If time permits I also have a road in Wheeling that I have not had a chance to run the Mini on, but if time is running short I would skip it (this would be an out and back on a wicked twisty road!)

Alan, I will meet you at the rest stop at 10am tomorrow. I sent you a PM at well.

Pizza was / is great. I had not thought of it before, but that place is a perfect Mini gathering place as there is no place to eat except for the parking lot we could eat and look at Minis at the same time!

What a great day I think my favorite is the long sweeper on I beleive 145 that just keeps going and going. Thank goodness it is a steady radius just find the grip point and hold it untill you are dizzy

I hope to take one more drive on that route before the baby comes I will make sure to give more advanced notice next time.

Also the barn in the picture was painted by one of my mom's students he also did a bunch of the bicentenial barns and some other interesting barns around Ohio.

Jason thanks for coming along it is always nice to see a Mini in front or in the rear view
