Sorry you can't make it John. Guess maybe we'll have to do a Indiana drive.

 

how did you know my grandmother was german? LOL

 

Allen told me.

 

Well she got into an accident a while ago and they fixed her up but she has been making a weird squeeking noise in the rear ever since. We finally had the time to get her fixed up the rest of the way but MAG was having a hard time figuring it out.

Well push come to shove, they did, and they can't fix it because it needs some welding. Some body parts underneath came loose in the accident, and they don't do that. So I'm taking it up to Evans Automotive tomorrow to have them check it out. Hopefully that stops the noise or "Jim" can figure it out for us. Either way WE do have Luckie back and we'll have her for the breakfast and drive, can't WAIT!

I know she's glad to be home tho, and I'm sure glad to have her back!!!

 

I might be able to make it to breakfast after all tomorrow, but I won't be going on the drive. I was able to convince a room full of techies that they should fix more bugs in the code we are testing before giving us a new build. I came out looking like an ********* to the developers, but I don't care because we have our first complete weekend off in 2 months

 

Nice work Brian those developers sound loke a bunch of ********************************'s anyway.

 

Do ya'll kiss yo moma's with those mouths?

LOL! Good job B! Too bad you'll miss the drive, it sounds pretty shaweet!

Oh and does anyone have any opinions about Evans Automotive on Morse Rd.? Just wondering if anyone has dealt with them. Thanks

 

I've never heard of Evans Automotive. Are they a branch of Bob Evans? If so, they do a pretty good silverback breakfast.


My guess is that Evans auto does not specialize in MINI's. Take your Lambo there. I'm not knocking Evans, it just seems that you need a quality body shop to fix your MINI.

Who did the original repair of the crash damage? Why aren't you making them handle this issue? If they are incompetent, yes find another shop. I'd recommend Yokes Body Shop in Powell or Tru Performance.

 

We'll be at the breakfast but not the drive... have to paint a bedroom

 

Still planning on coming tomorrow, just bringing 1 MINI instead of 2 though...

 

Chuck, how many hours do you expect tomorrow's drive to last? I'm supposed to be at work tomorrow @ 5:00pm and would like to be back at my house by 4:00. Do you think that is likely?

 

See you guys & minis in Nov or if I'm lucky in Oct. or maybe next week at the Crawford Auto Museum open house. Got a nephew's 1st b-day to attend tomorrow. BTW - GO BUCKS!!! They are playing up north tomorrow.

 

Cooper you should be fine time wise.

See you in the morning.

 

Sorry you can't make it Kim & Spawn. We will eat our lunch in your honor. The missing R50 formation.

 

Hopefully by the time 8:00am comes around my BAC will be low enough to legally drive to breakfast.

See you all there.

 

Well don't think we are going to make this one. See you all next month. Have fun!

 

It's 7:30...are we there yet

 

Been there & back already. The road apples are fresh & so is the coffee. See you in a bit.

Kim & Jason sorry you can't make it.

 

Chuck, thanks for putting me in 6th Gear

 

For a while I thought your clutch was slipping. My clutch used to chatter, just like me. A couple of trips to the doctor & all is well. Now off to take those meds.... Mmmmm meds....

 

just a few pics from today

 

ok three more pics

 

Today was the most Mini Coopers EVER in Coshocton. The Canal Cargo shop owner Lynette will sponsor a Cooper Rally and will have the road blocked off so we can meet. The Corvette club has theirs in June. If anyone is interested I can set something up for next year. She says that the Corvette's have a band and it is just a nice day.
Enjoyed meeting our newbies - Midnight Crimson and Electric blue Minis, no wait is that Maroon/Burgendy, no just joking.

 

Lots of fun as always. Here are a couple shots from today's drive.
