"Fast N Twisty" April Fools Ride

Wanna have some fun? This ride is hosted by MOTR - MINIs of the Rockies (www.minisrock.com) jointly with MINI5280 and all MINIs and Minis are invited and welcome!! Sunday, April 3rd, at NOON at Invesco Field.

The theme is "April Fool's" and there will be fun and excitement for all pilots and co-pilots. This is also an "information scavenger hunt" to go along with the theme.

This ride starts at NOON at INVESCO FIELD / MILE HIGH STADIUM between Gates 4 and 5, by the Picnic Tables on the North side of the Stadium. The ride ends downtown at the Laughing Dog, for lunch. Then, there is an optional event at the UA United Artist's Theatre at Colorado Blvd. and I-25, right next to Dave and Buster's. The ride will go about 2 hours, followed by lunch at the Dog and a screening of "The Italian Job" (Charleze Theron version) at the Theatre. MINI5280 will provide Popcorn and Sodas at the movie, which is free to you.

Sign up in the MINI5280 Calendar here in NAM and come join MOTR Minis of the Rockies for this fun, fun event!!

And the winners were..

18 intrepid MINIs and Minis gathered earlier today for a short, fast and twisty ride in, thru and around downtown Denver. The ride culminated with some Beer Pong and cold ones at the Blake St. Tavern (24th and Blake) and then a short ride to the Theatre where --- April Fool --- there was NO Italian Job movie showing, anyway. Sorry.

As for the ride quiz, here are your winners:

Henc and Tisha Bouwmeester 19 of 20 correct
Andy and Erin Autobee 19 of 20 correct
Whitlow and Eleanor Wong 19 of 20 correct

Each of the winners will receive a brand new DVD copy of "The Italian Job" (2003) with Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron. Congratulations to you all!

Among other things, we had today some beautiful Classic Minis from MOTR - Minis of the Rockies. They were:

Armando Martinez
Paul Herrmann
**** Shearer
Dennis Johnson

Thanks guys for bringing out the Classics. They are always fun to enjoy.

Join us at Detailer's Paradise this Saturday.....MINI Mini Tech Session, free but RSVP required.

Thanks,

JPS
