We need to leave for the ride a bit earleir than expected due to the special events being held at the winery later in the evening. We need to be at the winery at no later than 3PM for a tour & tasting so we need to start the drive at 2PM. Get to the Dairy Queen a bit before 2PM for some chat time

p.s...We are meeting at the Dairy Queen in Cahaba Heights. If anybody wants me to email them the Drive Map w/turn-by-turn instructions PM me.

I want to do the ride, we can't make the winery though . I have been to Morgan Creek, they have some wonderful wines , and it is such a pretty place to visit.

That's OK! Come for the ice cream, join us on the ride, and then enjoy a peaceful ride home .. ..

No, just a UAB alum and big fan. I like that plate Yucca, the one on my other car says ONO50. I'm looking for something MINI-like.

Well I don't think I will make this one. It has been a long week and I need a free day.

Second reason for not making the run is the fact that today I was rear ended. My poor MINI has to go back to the body shop again. It was just in the shop back in December because of something stupid I did. So The bumper that was just put on my car is going to be repaired again. The back door may need to be replaced too but maybe thay can fix it.
Sorry but I had to tell my story.

Have fun and take some pics!!!

Update: Here is a pic of my MINI!!

magic mini,

I'm sorry to hear that you've been rear ended. That is really crummy!

Had a great time & I am glad so many Minis came. I counted 10. Now if we could just figure a way to make those other (dang slow) cars stay off Hwy 25 . Last time I tried driving it there was a charity bicycle ride going on w/around 70 bikes riding 3 deep UGH

I hope the maps I handed out were right I noticed I had a few for another ride mixed in so if I gave anybody a wrong one, oopsie

Now...let's get planning so we can try to get 1 or 2 more rides in before summer is gone


p.s..PPE I hope your eyes get better

No actually it was really great seeing everyone, and tasting and buying some really nice wine.

I had a great time with everyone today! Great to have such a good turnout for a fun drive (even if we were slowed down on 25)

Let's plan another event sometime soon! I'm thinking a drive in movie night might be a lot of fun?
