Hey RaceCarDriver you thinking of heading out for this one? Does this mean I'll finally get to see your new MINI after chatting with you while you were waiting for it? Cool!

Nittany and I are already signed up for this one.

Well, we went on the pre-run with John today and all I can say is "WOW!". The roads were fantastic. Really looking forward to running it "for real" on the 26th. If you're even considering going, DO IT. You won't regret it.

Check out some pictures we shot on the pre-run today. Click here!

I'm working on a little project for the spring and I need some photos to make it work. I'm looking to get photos of the badges on the back of:

1. Red Cooper
2. Red Cooper S
3. Black Cooper
4. Black Cooper S
5. JCW Badge (I'll take any color I can get, though red and black would be ideal)

Anybody with any of these cars planning on attending the run on Sunday? If so, I'll be looking for you when we meet at Cracker Barrel, before the back ends of all our cars are dusty from the run!

See you all on Sunday!!!

Hey thanks! I don't know where you are outside Philly but if it helps you any, the starting point is about 22 miles west of the Allentown exit (Rt. 78) off the Northeast Extension.

Hope you can make it!

ohhh, thats not bad, thats about an hour or so from me total. And those pre-run pics make that a justifiable drive - not to mention my love for driving.

I'm in.

Sdanaher, I have an extra radio you can borrow this weekend if you want. They aren't really very expensive if you want to invest in them eventually. If you do, just make sure you get ones with a 5 mile range (the really cheap ones only go 2.5 miles). The longer range helps when you're in hilly areas like this weekend's run.

They just help keep the group together. If for some reason someone gets left behind somewhere they can call and let the group know.

Let me know if you want my extra or if you think you'll pick some up before Sunday.
