We will have a Sunday drive on July 24th. I will update the info on MINICCI.org and post it here as soon as Tom gets back from finishing the route!:smile:

Most excellent. I spoke to the wife and the N.W. Indiana contingent will be driving down for the ride. We had such a good time meeting all of you at the F1 race (MINI stuff being the bright spot of that weekend!) that we want to join you for more. So expect us there.

Drive on up [and over] to Autobahn....

 

Ok, here is the info for the Sunday drive:

Starting at Hummel Park in Plainfield 10AM (we will probalby head out about 10:30)

Pit stop around Gosport

Ending Cataract Falls


Bring a picnic if you'd like and we can eat by the falls. The bad news is that the gate is open since it is not off season and there is a $4.00/per car charge. It is just a few miles to get to I-70 since we will be just South of Cloverdale.

The roads we will be on are really good. Most of them have been recently paved and there are NO gravel roads!

Look forward to seeing everyone since we didn't have a drive last month!

This drive goes through the area where I grew up, nifty.

 

Please note: If you go by the map that is linked to the MINICCI.org site it looks like you should take Reeves Rd to Center St. You will not be able to take Reeves as it is closed. Here is the best route from I-70:

SR 267 North to the first light (Hadley Rd), turn left onto Hadley, take it to the first stop sign (Center St.), turn right onto Center St. Hummel park will be about 1/2 mile on the left.

If anyone has questions just email or PM me.

Looking forward to a nice drive and picnic on Sunday. Hope to see everybody there.


Motoring for the fun of it!

 

I'll be there for sure! Tiff, did you ask me if I was going? You are welcome to jump in my ride. Just call!

 

Had a great time today! Hope everyone else did too! Nice to see all of you that came......there was a couple from northern IN (really good to see Absorbine Sr. & wife) and even one from MI (yes, Jorge made it, although he's in Bloomington right now ).

And it was great to be seen! :smile:

The day was great becuase of an excellent route with plenty of twisties, a chance to test the ABS , and only a small amount of throwing up.

We'll be back for many more events. You folks know how to have a good time!

Mike & Deb.

P.S. Cheryl, it was 101F when we got home.

 

I had a great time. Thank you to everyone who helps get these drives together. Looking forward to the August drive.

Another great Sunday drive. Thanks Tom and Cheryl for putting together a great route and a good place to have a picnic.

 

Yeah I had it on my post but I didn't hear from ya so I took it out.. bummer

 

Add my thanks to the list. Tom and Cheryl, you did a great job setting this up. It was a good drive. Greg is on Denise's hit list for advising it would be a calm route. :smile: And only one close pile-up. Those sudden stops after a blind curve are murder. Thanks again for hanging in there on a your very busy weekend. It's appreciated.

 

Thanks for putting this together! Nice twisties and enough shade on many of the roads to keep the temperatures down.

 

Just uploaded my images of the Sunday Drive a minute ago. Here is the link:

Enjoy guys, and thanks TanCan put up the events.

 

MINI Car,

Is there a way for me to save some of the pics to my computer? Tried it but nothing saved.

 

I don't know if you could save or not. I can burn you a CD if you wanted. Do you live around Indy?

 

Henry, I think Swing wants to know how to save his pics.....and the pics you took on the Sunday drive are great!!

There was a major MINI sighting Sunday! Someone with a CR/W spotted all of us on SR 67!

Can

 

I really have no idea why he couldn't save. I am a MAC user, I could just drag the image to my desktop and save. But, PC... hmm... sorry... no idea what's wrong with it. I could email him if he PM me his email address.

 

Ya.... Flickr is annoying that way. It's difficult to save images from there.

If I find a work-around, I'll post it here.

EDIT: The work around is to create a Flickr account. Not a big deal really and it is a nice place to host a picture gallery. I already had one, but you may need to create one.

 

Thanks for the help. I'll register and then save MINI CARs pics.

 

Try saving the pages and pulling the pics out of the saved file folder. That's what worked for me.

BTW, great job Tom & Cheryl. We all had a great time, even Ginger who got stuck driving the van.

 

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! We're glad everyone had a good time..........that makes it worth doing. :smile:
