Well, looking over the boards, it sure seems like everyone had fun.

Here in Denver I helped organize the Yalla Yalla with 35 MINIs. :smile:

Then L.Mini helped organized the Mid-Atlantic Scavenger Hunt I hear Sprog drove out just for the event.

Looks like DavBret had some fun with the MINIs that came to the Bridge Run in Portland. They even had some folks come down from Canada.

Then there was a drive (in virginia I believe) that started with 12 MINIs, but ended with only 11 after someone bailed off the side of a mountain road and into the trees with a Cooper S. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.

Did I leave any events out from this weekend?

There was the 19th October San Francisco fun drive from the Presidio of SF to Olema/Nicasio over the Golden Gate Bridge. Eight MINIs and a RC MINIature.

Yes, Clover I believe that definitely counts. I miss Topanga, Latigo, Corral, and Kanan. I'd love to do a PCH drive and finish at The Reel Inn in malibu. :smile:

Yeah, you forgot one thing. NEVER USE MAPQUEST! It sent me through downtown DC, adding on an extra hour and getting me horribly lost (I didn't know what the capital beltway was, what route it was, and which one to take...). Next time I'm using a freakin' atlas. :evil:

Yes! I picked up my Cooper S Satruday AM at Princeton MINI, and spent the next six hours cruising back twisties. I followed up the next day with the PA side of the Deleware river.

HAD A BLAST! https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...hp&page=81
