Well, on that specific day of the year I get the opportunity of choosing exactly what I want to do...unless the "Smart" lady has something special planned. So how about a little description of just what the "Reservoir Dogs Run" is all about as this is the first time that I've heard about it (being a relative noob in the group).

Hee hee...and here I thought you were organizing this run...a real noob! So what's the address of the place that you want to meet up at for Breakfast? Dorothy loves these runs into NY...or maybe it's the wine runs...oh well either way we're on the road in our Mini.

I am thinking of waiting a couple of days to see whats convenient to where people are heading in from and the run .
Yes it is time for more wine isn't it? I'm gonna try to do at least 1 a month again.

Change of plans, I'm not going. Someone on NEMINI obviously does not want me to go to the run on Sunday. I sent you (Peggy) and Jim an email about this.

There is a LukOil gas station one light past the Linwood Plaza for those who wish to top off the tank.

Bill & Kerry did a Great Job!
Wish we could have done the whole thing. I think I just might finish it one beautiful day soon.
It was a great run... my girls had fun steaing Daddy's GP for the run... payback for all the times he had stole theirs.
Pictures & video of run can be found here

Also wish we could have made it to the end, I try and get up to bear mountain once a week now during the day. Lunch was also awesome great place to eat , will be back there soon.
Peg, as i said your car is soooooo nice!!!

Dont worry i wont mention anything about that little over the speed limit run the 3 of us had dodging potholes heading up the Palasades Pkwy, or that quick little dive to the right so we would not miss the exit while being slightly over the legal speed limit, not really sure how you did that while still being able to talk on the radio,HMMM, and you know I have to say this. I think your car has some engine Mods, if it does not, then you need to have shirt that says " I only drive it like I stole it, but it is really MINE" I have to say the ride up was pretty interesting!!!!

Time to start getting ready for the Dragon, should be a good trip

See you all soon

Did I do that?

We can finish the run any Tuesday or Wednesday... I'll play hookie and John is off those days! Also Cheryl is off all summer. I have all the waypoints for the whole run in my GPS. Just let me know! You can lead up to the start I promise I'll follow like a good little MINI.

Peggy was driving too fast... ugh. I'm surprised actually. Just as well then, I like my car insurance rate just where it is. :P

Pegg when are you starting up those wine runs again. That one that I went to last summer or fall was nice.

Ahhh... strange you should ask.... We are going to Demarest Hill Winery on Sunday April 25th! Sean got a postcard saying they are having live music, cheese and crakers and wine tating from 12noon until 5pm for $12.00 a person. We are welcome to bring our picinic baskets and stay the day. I'm going to post it today.
Can't wait to see the new pedals & rims... Jim said they were really NICE!
