Eastern NC?

Where are the members from the eastern part of the state? Most of the events seem to happen west of the triangle Speak up if you'd like to see something happening in the east!

Hmmm, I don't know of any beaches in NC that you can drive on w/out a 4x4.

Maintenance Day?

How about a maintenance day in the east? I can provide a nice area to have the event with climate controlled garage space for 3-4 MINIs plus a ton of outside parking/work space. I just need someone with more skills and better tools than mine

If I can get a few people interested I'll set it up

Lets do a beach run. We do not have to be able to drive on the beach but maybe go to the beach as a group. that would be great. I will looking to the 4x4 and see f there is a spot if you guys want to go out on th ebeach. I will see if we can with out 4x4.

October 15 looks like a good day for me, but it coincides with Eurofest. ECU, UNC & State don't have home games that day.

November 12 also looks good right now... hopefully it will still be warm here.

:smile: I was hoping that we would have soooo many participants that some work would have to be done outside!

Did I mention the guy next door is a professional window tinter and he could do 5 MINIs that day

You need to come down to Eurofest with us, BJ. I know it's a haul for you, but the show's such a blast!

Hey Todd I hope you can join us soon. I hope we get more events in Eastern NC, I am ready to travel.

How is it going over there.

Some of my family have gone to the Hill Country to get out of the way of Rita.

See you soon.
George

It's HOT!!! 145 degrees during the day last week, mostly in the 120's though. Other than that it's not too bad. I have an aunt that lives in Houston heading to my parents in Austin to get out of the way Rita. More to follow... Todd
