Today was the day for the Memorial Run for our departed friend, Dave Simmons. We had 13 MINIs in attendance, including Dave's wife, Deb, driving his MCS.

Great run for our dear friend Dave. Poor little Nano made it home despite the intense heat. Nice pics James!

It was an awesome run. David would have and I am sure he did enjoy it. James thanks for sharing the great pics. Mungo, you, Teri, and Nano were fantastic.
RIP Dave, I pray heaven has some of the best motoring just for you.

Great pics! It was a nice run for sure! Dave would have enjoyed it. It was good to see Deb and know she's keeping the MINI & will join in future rides.
