I'm going to skip out on this. I need a long weekend of nothing for a change. Sounds like fun, thought, and maybe I'll do the next one.

Chuck, I still have your Bentley manual. You will get it back some time.

Sorry you can't make it Ben. You are starting to sound like a silverback.

How's the oil leak? You can bring the Bentley to the next breakfast if you are through with it.

I wish the Viper had pushed the Porsche out of his way, it was pretty obvious he had the faster car, great video none the less.

I'm not 30 yet!

The oil leak is okay. Still no spotting on the ground, and my oil level has been fine - I've been checking at every fill up. I got a thing in the mail from MAG for a free inspection, and I've been thinking about taking it in to get checked out.

That would be great! I'm sure everyone will have a blast.

Are you sure you're no 30 yet. You are sounding pretty old there.

I think you should take MAG up on their offer. I think it's nothing, but it would be nice to have someone who is very familiar with MINI tell you the same.

so, did everyone do the whole route and see the sights???? I left the Bob Evans before 9am and about 10 cars pasted me but I didn't see anyone else. The Parking lot at bob Evans was still full of cars when I left. I stopped at the big bucket, the lunch stop and two covered bridges and followed the route and didn't get lost . The reason I ask is because after the 10 cars pasted me I didn't see another car doing the river Run the whole day. It felt like My brother and I were the only two cars out there.

I did the whole course 4 times. But only once yesterday.

Departed the B&E a bit after 8 with Tom. We stopped at every attraction & had lunch in Hannibal. About a dozen other folks came in as we dined on the best Riesbeck's had to offer. Allen & Jason were the only other cars we saw while on the course. What a fine day it was for a tour!

You guys did great driving your classics's yesterday.

well Besides Crashton and the 10 to 15 cars that past me, I guess no one else did the whole route? It was a great day!

I have reports of lots of people doing the whole route. You should be proud of the fact that you & your brother did the whole tour in very old Brit cars. That for sure had Eric smiling down on us.

Not gonna lie... was watching the slideshow and all of a sudden was like... "Wait, WHITE bonnet?! That's not even a MINI! " In my defense, it was pretty late...

Great pics as always. Wish I could've made it.

Thanks, I wish I could have taken more from in the car but it is a little tricky taking pictures and driving at the same time. ") I am already loooking at making a mount for my camera in the car.

RiverRun 2010

Chuck,

Any details yet on RiverRun 2010? Also, we are only a week and a half away from Leprechaun Run 4 and you are all invited... http://cincysportscar.com/index.php?topic=222.0. This year it's for charity and open to all sports cars (but still MINI dominated).

Eric's Riverrun is ready to go. It runs SW this year 5-29-10.

Greg, send me a PM with your e-mail address & I'll send you a flyer in PDF form.

I was planning on making a Riverrun post at the end of the month. Maybe sooner would be in order.
