Longmont CO Cruise Night July 28

One of our members with a really sweet R53 asked me to post this up.

If your looking for something to do on a Saturday night or after the MITM bag and badge stuffing on Saturday afternoon, here it is.

I will calendar this as Phillip is suggesting that we could have a little grill going up in the parking area he has access to.

Longmont is having a cruise night July 28th was thinking about getting some minis together to hang out maybe grill some dogs or something like that. I do have a spot on main we can park 30 or so cars. So my question is how or where would be a good place to post to let people know? Your help would be greatly Appreciated.

Post your interest here over the next couple of days, I will calendar it for a count after Wed. of this week.

Calendar entry is active as of Thursday AM.

Don

Hi Guys,

We will have our other car in a show in Old Town Arvada from 2:00-600pm. If that ends early, we'll try to hook up with you. If not, can we contact someone in the group to try and find you? I don't know much about the actual Cruse. Is it like the one in Golden?

Thanks,

Franny

Hello,Franny I haven't been to the cruise in golden but from what iv heard about it, it's similar in the way of lots of cars out for a night of cruising. Cars from classics, hot rods, old cars new cars and our cars. We will for the most part be hanging out on the corner of Mt. View & main at Keller williams. It's nothing really formal just something for some minis to get together hang out and get some cruising on. Feel free to call me any time 303-517-8129


Phillip

Well attended! This took me back a number of years, way back..... 1963 reflection on the San Bernardino Street Cruise Scene.

OK, no guff from you guys, I know I am old.

Some pictures uploading to my FB page, check the Picasa albums in about and hour.

Here is the direct Picasa Link, you can download the pictures, use as you will. If you send to a news agency (Longmont Times), please give proper photo credit.

Usually you can do the right click save routine in Picasa/G+, lately they even provide a little menu toggle at the bottom of a photo.

Philipp, Thank you and the family & friends making this a very cool thing to do in Longmont on a great Saturday night.

Don

One picture for fun!

Cruise Night

Thanks Phillip for setting this up, it was a FUN evening and a great way to end July for MINI5280.
This needs to be on everyone's radar for next year.
And thanks to ColoRODans http://www.colorodans.org/ for setting this up with the City of Longmont.

I only took a few, but I did go back this morning to get a picture of something I noticed last night.

I would like to thank Charlie and Marcie of Longmont for letting me sit in the drivers seat of their "92" Mini. Come out with MINI5280 more often.

Robert

AMAZING MINI CRUISE PICS

Great memory Don. This was a real fun event...the time that I've lived in Longmont, we've never gone to check this out. Can't wait til next year! Thanks Phillip & Marie for getting the lot, the food and the front row seats...

...and why would we want to support the Longmont Times (inside joke)

Hi All,

Thanks again for putting this all together! It was great fun hanging out with you guys.

Golden also holds a Cruz the first Saturday of ever month in the summer called the Golden Super Cruz and it is very well attended - a bit crazy actually. Just like the Longmont one, but no lights and maybe a bit shorter with roundabouts.

I hear there is an annual cruz out on East Colfax I think as well.

See you all up in the hills this weekend!

Franny
