I just got a phone call from 2minis. He is on his way to North Carolina for the Dragon Run. I am sorry to report that he got a speeding ticket and could not talk his way out of this one. So any one leaving tomorrow beware of TIFTON, GEORGIA. They are waiting for and looking for MINI's so watch out and slow down. 2minis reports the speed limit drops quick to 65 mph without much warning. Sorry no more details to report. :evil:

Good thing he didn't take one of his motorcycles... they'd have really hassled him. Those Gaw-juh cops are not nice.
Thanks for the warning!!

I never get tickets! But at least Barney Fife put it
down to 14 above the posted so it is no points.
But $100......
The last time I got a speeding ticket was in Montana....
$5 on the spot and he told me they don't like enforcing
speed limits in Montana but slow down a little
