April 2013 what to do 5280 Meet&Eat

Well here we are again, time to think on an April meeting activity.

I am so tired of eating inside and not seeing all our fine MINIs.

So!

Instead of a Tuesdays evening dinner meeting on April 9, I was thinking it could be fun to do this on Saturday the 6th.

A first Saturday in the sunlight gathering, get as many of you in the club who want to come up to Lafayette for the 1st Saturday C&C.

Have the MINIs come at 9AM, hang about... talk MINIs..., look at all the cars at C&C, then head over to Sonic to eat and use the super nice car wash on Colton Road in Superior/Flat Irons. Car wash is self wash and a drive thru right behind the Sonic.

Does this work? Your comments are welcome, I will put this on the calendar open to signing up on Sunday, if I get a positive response.

Thanks, Don

Hey Don,

Sounds great to me, frankly! Count us in.

OK, will be posting this up and creating a calendar entry. You don't have to signup, but if you can do so. Nice to get a approx. count.

Here is the calendar link, as I develop MAPS I will be posting them here and on the calendar.

We will have a great Sunny morning at the Cars and Coffee, I am counting on it. If it is cool and cloudy we can skip the wash. :(

Here is a simple snap map of the area parking at the Cars&Coffee Location.

All the area north of Zamparelli's and the Cigar Store is open parking, if you can park along area on the north side of the lot.

Put your bonnet out, of course.

And here is a little map link so you can go from I36 & Macaslin to Arapahoe & 95th the fastest way Google knows how. Or you could come from Boulder or get off at Flatirons then take Hwy 42 North.

I am thinking MINIs meet at the C&C at 9AM.

Sonic and wash as you wish at 10:30, I am really wanting a Sonic Corn Dog.

Wash MINIs, if cloudy or going on the after Sonic drive, no washy, head out to the drive as we want.

I need to work on that map. I have an idea or two, somewhat convoluted.

Don

It will be a pretty route, not to long. MAP here, FB and the other forums. If your thinking you might go on the drive, bring your radios.

If your thinking about Saturday and doing the optional after Sonic drive, you might want to click this link.

MAP

It shows the start then the roads only have points along the way, if I lead I will make it up as I go.

The pics look awesome! I am bummed I missed out as I was out of town.

Too soon to ask when the next meet will be?
