That was a nice little ride up Bear Mt. It was great to meet all of you in person. Sorry I couldn't make the 2nd half to Octoberfest, how was that? Also, who got nailed by the "bear" on the way out near the Pallisades? Ouch!

Beautiful day. Thanks everybody.

 

good time was had by all. good job guys.

thanks to Pete for stickin around and sobering up with me.

 

I was going to say the same thing! Thanks for the fun ride down the Palisades

 

I was bummed I missed it, just couldn't get free'd up.

Sounds like it was a good day though. Lets get another one planned in the books!

Pics???

 

Thanks to all for the great Bear Mtn run.
Even though I got lost I still had fun once I got there.
Special thanks to Peter,Paul,Was Mary there?

Here are a few pics when we met initially in Farmingdale Bagel Factory.







Just love that 1980 Cooper next to my Cabrio S

 

And a few more.....

Thanks again guys.

 

PICS!!

 

im really bummed i didnt go, whens the next one?

 

Nice. Was an awesome run. I'm glad I was a part of it.

I wish I could have stuck around longer, Spaten was delicious.

 

I'm still working on the next one for MINY, but my work schedule changed. Now i only have to work ONE sunday a month!!! That means MORE MINI RUNS!!! YAYAYAYAY

This coming weekend I'm getting together with the US Mini club in LI for their anual RLI4 which sounds like its going to be awesome. I'm really excited for it, and maybe this time I'll have film for my Vacu-Cam .

Anyone who came out yesterday and expecially those who couldn't make it should DEF come out for this one.

This is copy and pasted from US Mini Clubs site regarding the run:

"Round Long Island 4

ok new date is October 14.. leaving between 8-8:30

we should get some nice foliage also...

start as will be Airport Plaza in Farmingdale, NY. near the back by the Bagel Factory. Breakfast (lunch) and more important.. Rest Rooms!! (see link below for applebee's)

Drive will head up thru the East Hills.. and yes up Snake Hill Road.. along the north shore out to Port Jefferson where we will have our first... "pit" stop... continuing out on the north fork.. to Greenport and the North Ferry to Shelter Island.

I hope to have a spot for a BYO Lunch on Shelter Island.. only stickler is "pit stops"

afterwards.. take the South Ferry to North Haven and Sag Harbour.. and head down to the south shore... heading down to Dune Road in Westhampton Beach..
then up thru Westhampton.. and out with a stop in Mastic at another "pit stop" basicaly a Boston Chicken or some such..

then Highway driving back to Farmingdale and the Applebee's

Basically this has all... twisty beginnings.. hills.. single lane roads... pretty towns.. water scenes.. 2 ferry trips... beach views.. and higher speed highway.. but hey. that's what we have here rt??

please register at USMINICLUB.COM for this event"

 

Great pics Paul

Thanks for uploading the images. It was great day to be motoring. I had an idea for NYC based rally. What about following the NYC marathon route? It's not all that long but you do get all 5 boroughs. Needless to say, it wouldn't be easy keeping everyone together.

Also wanted to say great pix Paul(from MINY). We are looking froward to all MINY friends joining us at the RLI-4 this weekend...

When is going to be the MINY NYC run? I will post it and send out emails to everyone on Long Island.

Paul-USMINI Club.

 

i would love to come out for that drive but, like i said on sunday... "selective driving". ill get in touch with my LI guys and see what the roads are like.


* THERE IS ANOTHER BEAR MTN RUN THIS SATURDAY. FYI!!!!!
now that we know where the closest bathrooms are i think we can enjoy it even more!!!! maybe even get Pete stien or glass slipper!!!!

 

Haha, indeed.

 

Great photos, TurboMINI, Sorry, once again, that I couldn't make it... I wish I had..

This was posted on M|U (Motoring Underground) and, considering I am really wanting to be a full-fledged member of MINY, I'm going to post it here (also considering it was my b'day yesterday, I just decided I want to have a run like this close to my b'day!)

**What? Philly Cheesesteak Run
**Where? Down the corridors to Philadelphia
**When? Saturday night (probably late) 20-October-2007 (still TBD time)
**Who? Whomever wants to meet and have fun at meet/greet
**Where? Tony Luke's on Oregon Avenue in Philly

MINY Members, M|U East Coast Members (and others who want to share on the fun and good Philly Cheesesteak food)..

You in? I am.. let's get some fun going here.. and meet up with the folks that live in the Philly area or South Jersey area as well. If you live in Connecticut, New York, NY/LI, or New Jersey or anywhere, and would like to join us, we welcome you to do so! Look for updates in this very first post.. let's party in good ol' MINY and M|U fashion!!

 

great pictures turbomini, but where's the video?

question about this upcoming run in LI -- is it rain or shine?

 

Thanks for coming out. I had a great time and as far as I could tell everyone else did too. If thats not the case please let me know . I'm really excited that I'm going to be able to RLI-4. Is it rain or shine? becuase the weather looks a little sketcy...

In my haste and excitment t get for the run, I brought a tape that only had 8 minutes of footage space left, so i didn't even bother but I will DEF make sure that I have a fresh one this weekend! Rain or Shine? I'm trying to find out now.

Sounds like a good idea. A NYC based club should visit all the boros. We'll work on a route becuase it will be difficult to keep evyone together...

 

next one is on saturday. being held by prestige mini in jerz. gonna be a good run. come out if you can.

 

argh!!!
i work saturday,
the only day i have free this week is sunday, anyone got somethin planned for then?

 

Paul i think i might try and get to the RLI4 run

 

Don't forget everyone to clear out your PM inbox so we can PM each other, I'm having trouble PMing some folks at this time.. not to mention any names... :D
