Thats what I was thinking. So that means that typically there are about 480 slackers for each run? Where are they all???

Norcal should have a convention. With 500 members we could converge on a raceway or small town and take it over. The Mini equivalent of Sturgis!!!

Hey ! I resent that remark, some of us are too far away to attended meetings or all runs, I make a few during the year and pay my dues just like everyone else. I know you didn't mean anything by it so I fogive you

Sandie,

You are one "hella trooper". I have known you to drive hundreds of miles to make a run. My hats are off to you!!!

I remember the day you drove down from Yreka to San Francisco, drove the midnight SF run Saturday night, got up in the morning and drove over to Sausalito and drove the entire BSSP run on the coast and Mt. Tam before getting back in your Mini to drive all the way back to Yreka Sunday night to make it home in time for work on Monday AM. This does not count your trips to AMVIV or to Colorado.

And my congrats to Nor Cal for reaching such a milestone. You should be proud.

You will never be known as a "slacker" in my book!

Cassie,

Didn't think you were pointing any fingers. I just want Sandie to be sure none are pointing her way. She is a die hard and commited MINI community member that lives a far-far away. No harm, no foul.

Time to get "Back on topic" - Congrats again to Nor Cal for acheiving such a lofty milestone.

Guys it's all good, I'm okay, I know he wasn't trying to offend anyone, and congratulations to number 500, hope to meet you one of these days. Pooper thank you for all the kind words, but I'm no different than any other MINI enthusiasts I just love to drive
