Sounds like a fun run. A bit far for me - I'm in Central Jersey, between Somerville and Princeton, on Rt 206. Hoping someone in my area catches this thread and knows of one in the works for our area.

Nice little run we've got goin' here! Happy to see some more faces turn up!

As an aside, we were all over the Brandywine/Chadds Ford area today, saw a bunch of Mini's, and plenty of friendly wavers. Nice...

Don't know if I already mentioned...

I have one extra 2-way radio if anyone wants to borrow it during the rally. At the minimum, we should at least make sure our lead driver (Jeff?) has one...

I hope the weather is as good next weekend as it was this weekend.

I also have an extra radio if anyone needs one.

As requested, meeting at 9:00 AM at West Deptford High School.
Directions to West Deptford High School from 295...
Driving north on 295, take exit 22. Go straight thru traffic light at intersection with Red Bank Ave. & school is immediatly on the right.
Driving south on 295, take exit 22. At bottom of exit ramp, make left, go under 295 & make immediate left. School on your right.
Note: At the intersection of Crown Point Rd. & Red Bank Ave., there is a Lukoil & a conveninece store if anyone needs food or fuel.

Weather-wise, it's looking pretty lousy. Nevertheless, I'll be there.

Yeah, weather does look sucky.

But I'll still be there! Just be bringin' my rain jacket along for Fort Mott.

Hopefully the rain will clear out at some point during the day, as this weather system is forecasted to be history by Sunday.

And in response to our Miata friend... I'm sure we'd be happy to show off our Minis if you wanted to show up and peek! (But, uh, I won't be relinquishing mine for the rally...)

have you driven a boosted miata? 15lbs of boost on Hi, runs 12.9 from dead stop cause of turbo lag (doesn't hit full boost till 3800).

and yea i don't let me girlfriend drive my car either but i have let other enthusiasts driven mine in return for driving theirs.

Thanks for posting the pixs.
Sorry about the weather...I'll work on it for next time!
Seems like we got a nice start for future runs thru Gloucester/Salem/Cumberland Counties
I enjoyed myself & I hope everyone did as well.
Hope we can do it again with more MINIs & less rain.
