REDWOOD EMPIRE MINI ENTHUSIASTS static Cling Stickers are now available for easy mounting and removal from the rear side windows or boot window of your classic Mini, MINI COOPER or MINI COOPER S . See me on our next run if you want one or two for your car. They apply easily and stay firmly stuck until you are ready to remove it. They remove without leaving a residue on the glass.

Mount it on your window and drive proudly while displaying your membership in REME.

Club Tee shirts and special REME-AMVIV2 tees are available. Email me or see me at our next run if you are interested.

 

I had one more gift to pickup post Christmas, so I was forced to venture to the mall in Marin against my better judgement. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to get a parking spot right by two other Minis!!!

 

As the Bay area has been one of the best WMS Pulley Party sites historically, Webb Motorsports is holding the very last Pulley Party at Bay Bridge Motors in May. The date is tentatively set for May 27 and 28.

This will be MINI history! To be a part of it, simply reply to the post with your requested parts and time slot. Randy will update the schedule periodically to reflect it. RSVP with WMS listing the Mods requested.

This may be your last oportunity to have your car modified by Randy Webb.

 

I'm going to have him install a WMS throttle body.

 

Please see the REME BBS for details and sign ups!

JON & TERRY (WHO WORKS AT CSUEB) & I CHECKED OUT THE PARKING LOT THE OTHER DAY. NOT AS BAD AS I HAD THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. IT'S GOT SOME TREES AND IT'S SURROUNDED BY GREEEN PLAYING FIELDS SO I THINK IT'LL BE JUST PEACHY.

Larry P. of NorCal MINIs has posted event info on the website, here is a strangely similar posting about the event on NAM but without the YELLING IN ALL CAPS

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?p=987654

 

This is a 50s/60s muscle car show in Reno, but there will be tons of vendors there, many of them giving out freebies and good discounts on parts

Please see my post in NorCal MINIs forum..

We went 3 years ago, not in my MINI but in my Jeep Wrangler. It was fun but not terrific for us... Reno is not the prettiest destination, especially on the south end of town (we came via Tahoe and Carson City) but viewed cars on display at a hotel south of town and did not make it to the strip, but it is a good excuse for a drive! Keep us posted on time and location for a MINI caravan.

 

See this thread.

 

August 19, 2006 (Saturday): 10:00AM SNMC Sierra Nevada Mini Club is participating in a very cool charity and hosting a MINI Run. ALL proceeds go to Dog Town Canine Rescue check out: www.dogtown.petfinder.com This is a great organization and deserves all the support we can give it.This event has a bunch of really good prize$. The Run starts at Petsmart in Carson City by Lowe's with lunch in Markleville CA and then over Monitor Pass via Highway 89 to Lake Topaz and then up through Gardnerville back to home. For details and sign up contact: Lisa Staikoff @ asdwynv@sbcglobal.net This will be a great run for those not going to the Monterey Historics and need a MINI run fix. Everyone is welcome to join in.

 

hey all, based on the responses I've gotten, I won't be going this year!

though I do hope for those that decide to go, you have a great time!

 

You are right about Hot August Nights in Reno. If your'e into poodle skirts and bee hive dos, muscle cars driven by men who wished they were still cruising the strip, then have fun. Now if you are into driving your mini cooper in some beautiful mountains of the Sierras, then come join us August 19 sat morning at Petsmart by Lowes in Carson City 10 am. We will be having a SNMC run that day and all are welcome. We are having a few drawings for raffle prizes and a few photos by the local newspaper and maybe a tv news station. Then off we drive for our run.Leaving at 11 am. Motor On..............Lisa

 

Another try to get all of you Northbay REME members (and ALL MINI Owners) to come out to the Thursday Night on the Green in Windsor. Every Thursday night, through the summer, the Town of Windsor puts on a "Night on the Green". It's has an open farmers market, food vendors, music, and a Car Show. Its fun, family, and doesn't cost a penny. This Thursday (Aug. 10) features Charlie Musselwhite, Blues musician. He and his group will be performing, FREE!!!!

Bring your MINI/Mini, spouse, freinds, kids, folding chairs, and beverages and sit back and enjoy the evening. The MINIs are welcome to join in the car show, held at KC's Downtown Grille. They give out FREE raffel tickets with great prizes.

On nights when there are no musicians, they have "movie" night where they play old movies on a big screen in the town square. Bring your pillow and blanket and watch old Humphrey Bogart (or others) movies, while sitting back enjoying a chat and good time with freinds.

Next Thursday (August 17) it's Movie Night, "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" starring James Stewart and Jean Arthur.

That night bring your MINI, pillow, blanket, PJ's, spouse, kids, freinds, folding chairs, a beverage, and a BIG bag of popcorn. Plan to sit under the stars, watch a good Ole movie and visit with freinds.

The farmers market, food vendors, and car show will be going on, as normal.

Alice and I are hosting an "End of Summer BBQ/Picnic" on Saturday September 9th, 3 PM, at our home in Citrus Heights.

If you plan on attending, please sign up on the REME Events calendar. I really need an accurate count so I'll know what quantities to provision.

We would provide a grill and hot dogs/ burgers, buns and condiments, paper plates, ice chests, etc.. You provide your own chairs or blanket, a side dish to share and your favorite beverages. Your kids and dogs are welcome, as long as you clean up after them (we don't need any land mines on our lawn!).

Also, this event will mark the World Premiere of my new film "REME Takes California", highlighting our participation in MTTS. You won't want to miss it!

I can provide local motel info for out-of-towner's. Everyone who signs up will receive an email with directions.

Would anyone like to coordinate games for the kids?

 

REME has been asked to be a part of the Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival which has been an annual event in Sonoma since 1897. This is a charity event where the proceeds go to Valley of the Moon Children's House, Vineyard Workers Services, Hanna Boys Center, and Sonoma Valley High School Viniculture Scholorship.

Our MINI/Minis have been asked to participate in the parade. The cost of entry is $20/car and is a charitable donation. First place will receive a trophy/plaque, second & third will get ribbons. We will be limited to 30 MINI entrees. I would hope that REME can take care of that 30, if not, we will welcome other MINI clubs to enter.

Parade Application and Rules:

Download the registration form here.

The parade will be held, Sunday Sept. 24, 2006 at 12:00 noon in Sonoma CA. Other vehicles in the parade will be Classic Hot Rods, Show Motorcycles, Tractors and Farm Equipment in addition to marching bands, horses, and all the other Parade regulars.

Since we have a fairly busy schedule, please let me know ASAP if you are interested in this event. Please do so by either signing up on our calendar or by excluding yourself. I have been asked to try to help organize and get the other car clubs in this event.

You can find out more about the parade & the weekend events at http://sonomavinfest.org

Thanks,

 

... and the deadline for them to receive your application is 12 Sept., so ZOOM ZOOM!

 

The parade was alot of fun. What a great day in Sonoma. Great weather, good food, super cars........all for great causes.

Here's a little video clip that Rob Saunders put together:

Enjoy.

 

In case you missed the original broadcast, Speed Channel is re-broadcasting the Monterey Historic Races from August. This is a two-hour broadcast that begins at 2PM Pacific Time TODAY!!!.

I did see a post somewhere that there is not alot of coverage on the MINI/Mini Cooper even though this year was "in-honor" of the Mini. I think I'll watch and see for myself.

I think Speed Channel is 607 on Directv and 408 on Comcast. Not sure about Dish.

 

Its on channel 150 on Dish Network.... times are likely different though. On Dish everything is generally on EST.
I just checked... its on at 2pm on Dish Network too.

 

Mid-Cal MINI's will be at the Manchester Beach KOA July 4th through July 7th. There will be a 4th of July decorating contest, parade through the campground, and hay rides. We will have a run from Manchester Beach to Boonville during the 4 days. There will be a fire works display at Point Arena on July 7th. Come join the fun. Please contact GP1373 if you are interested or check out the thread at the Mid-Cal site. Hope to see you there.
