calling all Minis to join us on a Mini adventure down to Auburn Ca. on the 20th of May. Seven Mini Parts is having ther Annual open house and BBQ. Details to follow on tueday. I will post meetup points and times. Glenn

 

I will be there this time Glenn...thought Lisa sent out a news letter giving the details...Reno at Krispy Kreme again (yum...what could be better). Ordered in a clear paint bonnet protector, since the rocks on I-80 are killing me! Big time bugs too going over the hill! Hopefully I will have it for the trip!

Jeff

 

See you there.Q

 

The wife and I are planning to attend. I am assuming there will be a Carson City starting point, but a stop at Krispy Kreme in Reno would be quite enjoyable.

 

I wonder how many donuts will fit in the Mini's trunk...
Next time I get stopped by a cop...maybe I will ask him/her

 

Based on the last Sierra Nevada Mini Coopers Nevada run, I know for a fact that the answer is more than two dozen.

 

Mr Econ i'll trade you cinnabons for krispy kremes

 

Snookered you right in!!!!

But you know I will try too!!! Now cinnabons also sound good but they are located in the mall!

Just increased my budget for the trip...

 

I'm planning on bringing more Krispy Kremes with me on Saturday.

 

Sounds good folks... I'll see everyone there!

 

Will meet with Lisa shortly about depature times from the meetup locations. Glenn

 

Having posting issues.Hope to get help from Lisa or Econ. glenn

Jeff

Thunder Boomers Moved in, so I took off for the House!!! Mini does not go out in snow /rain...that's for the "uglymobile"!

Alright Mini's...1st meetup will be North Albertson"s in Carson City at 7:30am. Then north to Reno where we will meetup 8am, at Krispy Kreme .Bring your 2-way radio's set at channel 7 sub 21. Maps will be handed out. Show up Early, so you can talk with others. 7 Enterprise will have a BBQ for all. I will lead you down to Auburn Ca. Should be a FUN day for all... See You... Glenn

 

Glenn, Don't think I can make the 730 start. When do you expect to arrive at 7 enterprise. I will try to meet up there.

cheers,

TT

 

Tahoe T, open house begins at 10am. Weather will be cooler this weekend so everyone bring your coats along. It may be raining also. Spring showers bring May flowers. Glenn

 

Just as long as it doesn't turn into one of those raging snowstorms over Donner....

Glenn...can all FRS Radios (different brands (like Cobra) talk onthe same Freq together ?

Great deal at Walmart on a pair of Cobras...$20! Probably will pick up a pair!

Jeff

 

Brand does not matter, just as long as they are FRS. However the cheaper ones may not have as good sound quality and may not have all the sub channels . I have a set of Motorola T7400R GMRS/FRS with a 12mile range that work great. A little larger but seem the have better audio, the extra range helps as well. I also have a headset that works even better. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to hear with windows down. Check out http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html...F8&node=172654 for pricing.

 

Have fun guys, I was going to go, but I have too much going on. I was able to get the Classic running good enough to go.................but too little time. maybe next year

Nik

 

These guys were originally $45 but have been marked down....they have propriety rechargeable batteries (hate that) but if no good...Walmart has a great retrurn policy!

Might give em a shot anyway and they do have the same channels and sub channels that the motorolas have + security codes...I would only be using them for the Mini get togethers so I didn't want to spend a ton....rather spend it on the mini and custom bonnets for my head!!!!

Weather forecast seems to be going downhimm fast for sat...

5-19 Update - got a nice Motorola T6530XLR set at Costco! The new ones with NOAA weather radio (10 mi range...sure they rate then line of site on flat ground with no obstructions and that is only for the GMRS band...FRS is always limited...I do not feel like going thru the FCC for a GMRS License!) - $50! Nice thing about the "club" pkgs is that they come with stras.NIMH batteries and 2 sets of Earbuds Ivox etc! We will see since Costco has a great return policy!

Regards
jeff

 

It's just weather. I spent 6 months waiting to drive my Mini after all the snow we had in Tahoe. DO NOT let it stop you from joining us on Saturday.A little rain is OK with me. Glenn

 

Thanks glenn. I hope to see everyone there!
TT

 

Well, just like that I am out.. Have fun everybody, see you next time.

TT

 

Thought you might make it. Oh well. For you Truckee members, we will be stopping at the Donner summit rest stop around 8:30 for a quick stretch. So if you want to meet us at the West bound parking area and save a trip into Reno that might work for you. Glenn
