ATTENTION mini owners near the CT Area!

Hey, anybody out there near the CT region want to set up some type of meeting for a day to just cruise or whatever? I'm growing tired of my friends not wanting to go cruising around once in a while anymore because all they cry about is gas prices. Also, i've never had a mini experience with more than 1 other mini!

Count me in as well!
I'm sure I can scrounge up a few more to motor with.
The usual suspects from nemini.org... you know who you are.

You got another one

Hey,
Just picked up our CR/W, S 3 weeks ago. We live in Holyoke, just north of Springfield, MA. We could do some homework and find the best roads in the area between the 2 of us and motor!

We'd be interested, but we are in Stamford, the other end of the State, but let us know. If it doesn't interfere with sailing... The other love, and less mods!

I live in PA, but am from CT (Newtown) originally, and make frequent trips back to Fairfield and New Haven Counties. Feel free to send me a PM if you plan a drive.

Mistro, I'll be in Stamford Monday for a golf thing (apparently a 3-some was missing a really bad player and asked me to be their 4th!). I'll be sure to look for you in the MINI towing a sailboat :-)

Dave

Sounds great! I was thinking sometime in june would be good for a cruise, the weather should be good and there shouldn't be any school interference. I've got to check out some roads to go on, unfortunately i haven't been out just randomly driving in a while.

Please keep me in mind. My car and I should be on the mend with our final mods by mid June. I know some great backroads in Litchfield County.

My 03 Cooper is going into the body shop tomorrow - danced with a deer. But as soon as it comes out - would love to join.

Driver's side crinked - managed to not take it straight on - just a glancing blow. Insurance says 3 grand!

Mot 2006

I wanted to do the Maine and New Hampshire events, as I have spent time on Mount Desert and know it well and have a family house in the White Mountains. Unfortunately, my daughter's high school graduation is on June 17, so I must skip this year. I plan to do the MTTS leg from NJ to Lime Rock and hope to do some informal events and driving later this summer and fall. I would like to check out some of the roads along the west bank of the Hudson above and below West Point.
