BTW, please pardon the hijack here...but does anybody know how to change my user name...it's not bolick anymore...took the maiden name back a few weeks ago. Changing the password is no problem...it's the user name that can be a pill.

Much obliged...Joyride

I just sent you a Private Message, Rebecca.

Herbert, unlike most MINI graphics, which are vinyl applications, Jeremy's "Sprog" is painted....that all-over Union Jack was painted, not applied!

Sexy beast, isn't it?

how about this baby... I think everyone else got better shots of it, though

I caught it as i was leaving, since it was only my first run on the dragon, and i was a little slow catching up

Neko graciously offered Sebby to me for a Dragon Run! Unfortunately, I ended up behind Camrys that could not even get up to the posted speed limit. But since the sherriff was parked near the Overlook with his radar gun, perhaps I was lucky after all!

Awesome Lotus Exige!! A bunch of Loti (isn't that the plural of Lotus?

) had been at Fontana Village all week and most left on Friday. We had the pleasure of seeing LOTS of them on Thursday night. Funny thing, they sounded like MINIs roaring up Fontana Road...MINIs with Magnaflows!

One of the first things i remember someone saying Friday morning was that Josh was with them for dinner, and was looking for me and Deb.

And i can't even remember who said that. But i know everyone that was there was totally awesome, i had an absolute blast.

It was a thrilling, fun MINI vacation...

I just regret I didn't go for a ride on the Dragon with one of the more masterful drivers... next time, right Kool?

I will proudly state I got my all-time worst ever gas mileage on the Dragon!

And I gladly paid every dime to fill up twice in under 300 miles...

Each time always goes too fast and the next time is always too far away...
I've got to upload some pics..

I wasn't there but I bet it was the Alta intake that made the sound. I have the BMP intake and it has a good sound but I think the Alta intake sounds better.

Was only able to make it up on saturday but still got in some good runs. We were sitting at a picnic table on the road to Fontana having lunch and I think it was a dark blue mini with black roof that went flying by

and waved, it's air intake made a cool sucking sound when he came off the gas, can you tell me want brand of intake does that?

Like I said up top I didn't make it but I see in the pictures a lot of people I know was there. Great pics.

Right on, Clover! Koolmini & Soundwave are good people... as are you!

Finally have some pics to post! Drat -- nevermind. The stupid library locks you out of right clicks and I can't see the properties to get the URL from the gallery... I'll have to add them tomorrow at work.

I need a real computer at home!! Grrr...
