So weve been talking about it for awhile now. So lets get this planned!

Going:

88Mini (James)

Maybe:


Sorry Can't Make it.



Once we get a good list of name we can work on the meet up and route,

 

well, for me it would depend entirely on the day/time.

so i think you should figure that out first :p

 

How about April 30th...

 

Count me in.

 

Im/we r down... where at... time? Maybe meet at rubys? Just a thought.

 

Ditto.


It would be wise to plan the route, times, food stop, length, etc..first, then post it here. This would generate more intrest and or participation.

 

Ok so lets see This is all subject to change with input from everyone that wants to go. This is my first time planning a trip.

APR 30
Start time 0900
Meet up at Starbucks in Southgate.
Lunch at Eddyline Restaurant and Brewery in Buena Vista, Colorado

88, that is quite a route, how many miles is it total?

Do you want to make it an official MINI5280 drive or just to the Springs MINI folks?

I'm sure you would get some folks from up in this area.

If you want to make it 5280 contact Teena (Rudebox) or Jeremy (d3?????) and she/he can put it into the Calendar.

Don

 

Its 251 miles we can shrink it down. Im not a member of Mni5280 yet but Im open to letting anyone and everyone to making the trip. Im open to shorting the route if thats what the majority wants.

 

I'll meet up but probably not do the 251 mile route

 

Hello,
Anyone is welcome to plan a trip and you don't have to be an official MINI5280 member to attend...Once you have your plans confirmed, be sure to also post it in the Members South thread for more exposure at https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...s-south-4.html

If you want me to add it to the event calendar on NAM once the details are confirmed, just PM me.

Thanks for planning!

 

Jeremy (d3?????)


don,

if you look, you'll see not a single ? in my handle..

please give out the proper info sir.

ty!

 

Ill relook over the route tonight again, The mini is going back into the shop for a leaky water pump, Thermo is stuck closed, and the AC no working. Sure glad I got that extended warrenty.....

 

Wow - that is crazy!

 

I may be interested if the weather is good, etc.

 

Jeremy is it really Doritos? Hey, got you to post.

Thanks for the mileage, now that is a run.

Don

 

Have them look at your cooling fan too..

 

Well they said the water pump is good it just burped and spit some fluid but we shall see tommorrow when I take her for a nice hard run. But bad news is the condesor (Spelling) is shot I hope the warrenty will cover it but not sure.

 

The Eddy Line is a nice spot...good Root Beer too!

 

Is the route final now?

 

Ok here is a 24 hour notice that if no final plan is in order this thread will be "hijacked" lol! Now people are talking about a CoS run and no other info has been put into place.... i dont have a problem with the Eddy Line plan (i did almost 300 miles on the tax recovery run) but that is an all day event and will probably deter some from going... we can do another route around criple creek, lunch and back to the springs as a shorther suggestion.... any way Feedback would be nice! and These runs are for us to put together... lets plan something CoS peeps!

P/s i'm no LIL'valentino but im trying my best (she has a talent for these things)

 

Im no planner or either So Lets;

1. Either cancel this.
2. Someone else come up with a route.


I just havn't had the time to go back into map quest and redo a route so T-rav plan the route post it and lets see if we can get some people comited to going. I leave for Oklahoma in a few days and will be back shortly before the 30th.

 

will do! have a safe trip!

 

I will think about putting something together for this . Let me consult some Springs expert drivers (Mike Gleason) and see what we can do.

I would really like to just get everyone in the Springs together - whether a drive or some coffee. There has been a surge of interest in the area and would be good to meet everyone. Another event we missed out on due to lack of interest was a DIY day with Bahman. The last was a great event and I am in need of an alignment .

Here is something else we need to do as a Springs event

http://www.firstandmaintowncenter.co....aspx?ID=10317

I will have my classic out there on May 7. I would take the R56 but I can't drive two cars at once

One other event is the Saturday car meet on Austin Bluffs. I don't know the address but it is the old grocery store. I have taken my classic there and the R56. I think it would be awesome to invade with a bunch of MINIs/Minis one Saturday night.

I think this is one of those cases of, if you plan it they will come.

 

How about we do this: scrub the April 30 drive and have a meet/drive combination on May 7.

Meet for the First Saturday car show - http://www.firstandmaintowncenter.co....aspx?ID=10317

Once over, we do a drive (route TBD) to a lunch location and then head back. I can come up with a route that isn't too long but fun. Again, I will need/require some input into this but it will be a good time.

Thoughts????
