Yes. I meant from Flemington area and others round here to Gloucester Cty.

Road Trip thru Tavistock & Pine Valley would be extraordinarily short. Can't take more then about 3 minutes to drive thru the only road into & out of Tavistock & Pine Valley is a gated community that doesn't allow admittance to the huddled masses. Then again, I DO know a few good bars in the area....

I live and work in Springfield...but I also haven't got a mini yet. I'm waiting to see what the Clubman is like, so I'm still in the EVO.

I know the feeling !!! I was laid off for about a year ! Matter of fact all last year i didnt work. It sucked. I was first laid off after 9-11, then in 2002 and then again last year. Currently have a job but still seeking a "career" move. Its def alot harder to find good work these days !

Back on topic, someone mentioned GTG's in north Jersey. We dod Starbucks coffee MINI gtg's frequently, like once a month or so. I usually organize them and they are usually held at our Linden Starbucks location right on rte 1&9 so keep your eyes peeled here for the next GTG. Ive had my car apart so i havent done a coffee meet in awhile, but im thinking maybe sometime next month we can do another one

A nice place for a GTG in Central Jersey is the Hillsborough Promenade on Rt 206 as there are a lot of oversided empty lots and a Dunkin Donuts for coffee.

Hah! Actual bars, zero. There is a Martini bar called 381 Main, you guessed it, right on Main St. After that You'll either have to go on Rt23 (pompton turnpike) for some other bars or towards west paterson for some others.

And I stand corrected! I seriously thought Little Falls 2.8 sq mile township was the smallest.

Funny enough I think Little Falls is in the Guinness Book of World Records for most pizzerias on one street!

Linden Starbucks has plenty of nice paved smooth parking trust me. Alot of us are lowered so parking and the condition of the gravel is always a concern for many of us.

And since when did Dunkin Donuts make good coffee ? ...J/K I just cant see us MINI guys hangin out at a D&D. thats what i did in HS and there was no starbucks open in my area yet. But you guys outta check out our coffee meet one of these days. Weve gotten up to 9 MINI's all together in the past

I can do either Middle New Jersey during the weekday, and I could do Northern New Jersey on the weekend.

Hey guys, I could do mid-Jersey during a weekday as well. Evenings? Staying lighter later now. Maybe a Wednesday evening. Weekends are family, so I'm out as far as that is concerned.

I think the guys that travel from one end of Nevada to the other to get to Mini meets are laughing at us for complaining about driving from one end of NJ to the other, but anyway, someone plan something for a weekend.

BTW, anyone planning on doing the Dragon run? Could be good to plan a convoy for that if anyone is interested.
