Thanks!
The only time I've seen Greg turn white was a u turn in front of Seven Enterprises. We were following other MINIs and realized we passed the driveway. I made a fast u with an abrupt stop at the curb facing the cars pulling into the driveway. I turned to look at Greg with a BIG smile on my face and said "It's not me, it's the car".

By the way we missed you two at the meeting!

Haha thanks, that was actually my first run through any scenic route ever. My friend who was sitting next to me was dropping a brick in his pants from a couple of those turns :P I was surprised that the guy with the Cabrio kept this top down the ENTIRE TRIP! I closed my sunroof after a while but he was on the freeway with his top down. He must really love that convertable lol

I definately learned alot about my car and how to control it through that run
