I posted this on the Charleston club's thread, but it's pretty darn slow. I just got my MINI, Rocket J (Rocky to his friends), on Monday, and I just planned my first road trip in him! Here is the original post:

Coming to visit in March and I would love to meet up with y'all and have a drink or something while I'm there. My dates are March 9-15 or 16.

I'm very excited--Charleston's my hometown, and I'm driving my brand new Rocky from Austin! I expect we'll finish the break-in somewhere on this road trip.

And hey, my dad told me long ago that SC police were special, that you had to drive the speed limit. Is that still true? I should have a friend's fuzz buster.

looking forward to seeing Charleston and meeting y'all,
k

 

Watch for unmarked SUV"s

 

S.C. Has unmarked SUV'S Pick Up Trucks and Motorcycles along with camero's and Chevy's and some new dodge's. I-26 probably get away with 10 over 1-95 15-19 over in some locations. Back roads better have a birddog! Luke retired Trucker and Mini Nut! March 10th come by Hendrick in Charlotte we all hang out there.

 

They also have E36 M3's. Watch out for those guys.

 

Eep. Thanks for the tips. Camaros for cops? Wowsers! What a fat lot of wasted taxpayer money.

Don't think I'll be making it further north than Charleston, though thanks for the invite. I was in Asheville once and loved it, though I also remember driving white-knuckled through the mountains as I drove back to my wee college in Indiana. I hear the Dragon is like that. Maybe Rocky could handle it better than I can, LOL.

Thanks again!
