Don't sweat the route. We'll just wing it. If we get split up, I'll just call your cell.

It's raining here, too. I'm bailing. BUT!!!......

Anthony is leaving and I want to get the crew together for one last ride before he goes. Aug. 24th is the date I suggested and Ants said it's good for him. I'll start another thread about that later today.

Sorry to be such a freakin weather wussie, but I spent hours yesterday out in the pouring rain and I'm just not up for another wet day.

Cheers,
Kim

It's sure humid but it's stopped raining over here in the river towns. (Sorta like how the c'van LAST sunday started GMINI...)

Will wait at Nyack - if no shows by :15 after, then I guess I'll go hit the par 3 over at Rockland Lake. trust me i'd rather be driving the MINI than driving the golf ball today...

Oh nomo, hope the pup is okay. It sucks when out pets are sick cause they can't tell us what's wrong.

We're talking about August 24th for an ANTSMINI going away party.

Those wet roads sure were fun!! And the dry ones tore rubber off my tires.
Top speed seemed like 115 (but couldn't have been since we obeyed the posted speed limit on every street.)
Great day for motoring. Missed you kim - especially as this meet was per your request.

I especially ejoyed the conversation in between. Mini motorers on current events.
I don't think we actually talked about cars but like three times.
And nobody ever mentioned movies - that's the measure of a good conversation in my book.

Love to do it again and again and again (and again!)

Where are we meeting for the 24th run?

Hey guys, great fun run today! Nice to 'break-out' after breaking-in for about 3 weeks. Ants- how fun to have 2 CVTs run with the pack of Ses with attitudes! I just replayed the GPS log file and we sure covered some nice roads there - thanks koolmini for the lead.

I guess this is what we missed at that turnaround:


...but certainly no lack of excitement on some of those slick turns.

Julian - thanks for posting those pics!

Uptick - you are the newbie but you kept with us like a pro.
You were great to have around, too. Thanks for signing on.

Koolmini - David - you and Cindi were great fun today in retrospect.
Thanks for the lead!!! Loved ALL the roads - especially the improvised.

What a crew.
