Thanks to Felix from Conifer for introducing us to a previously unknown road which is in every way, fun to drive!!

Forks

When we came to the fork in the road, we ran over it. Didn't see it. That was a fun run on ???? street last Friday night, especially since MINIs have excellent lights.

Next MAD run

All right you wacky warriors of the roads in the woods. Say that 150 times fast I'll be ready to take lead or follow. I do have another rally stage all set up for you perfect night vision types. And yes those MINIs do have great headlights, it also helps if you did like me and upgraded the high beams. Come to the Sonic on the west side (if that's where everyone votes yes, I'm pretty sure JS will) and we can compare high beam wattage Note the tints on my man here. See you all soon F

Sonic

I'd like to propose that we meet at the brand new Sonic on Alameda Parkway, just east of Green Mountain. It's bigger than most other Sonics in the area. Directions, etc. soon.
