Hey Mini's and Miniett's, I was just thinking that we usually do these spirited drives earlier in the day so that everyones ready for lunch just after noon. If an earlier meeting time works I can meet everyone later in the day. I'm stuck at work til at least noon or so.

Hopefully, I'll see everyone at an earlier time! Look for me in your rear view mirror flying to catch up.

 

Disregard the above post.......... I got beat to the punch.

 

I'm in (PENDING).....

Need to mount my SSRs/tires and of course get my alignment.. So depending how busy it gets w/ my new job, I'm about 25% in right now..

And be sure to stop off at the Union 76 on Woodside Rd. and fill up with Sunoco 100.
Jim

 

sounds like a fun run. hope to see you all there.

 

Took my MINI out last night for about 10 minutes and it was worse than I remembered. The car died at idle three times and once when I was coming up a hill in my parking garage As soon as it stops raining Ill go tweek a few things and HOPEFULLY M7 sends me my parts soon!

 

Is your Mini going to be ready for AMVIV?

Brad

 

I just got done takin it apart and checking everything out and it looks like Ive got a few things Ive got to get done before I even think about AMVIV. Hopefully M7 will send the stuff out quickly so I can at least get my intake all sorted out.

My To-Do List

• New spark plugs
• Change rear brake rotors
• Fix driving lights
• Install new throttle body
• Install new AGS tube
• Have roll bar built
• Install Recaros

HOPEFULLY thats it. The only thing that are stopping me from really being able to drive it are the plugs, AGS tube, and brake rotors.

 

I may tag along for this one. It's been 10 months since my last run and I'm curious to see how everyone's cars are comming along.

Jason, I'm bummed to hear your car is having trouble, you seemed to be making good progress with it.

 

I'll be there, just got my car back, w00t!

Hey, I was scouting out the route and Zayante Rd is just too beat up from the rain. So, at this point we won't be able to make both of the suggested points (Bear Creek Road and Felton). Sooo, I've modified the route so we can still run through Felton and make it out to the coast up to Alice's.

Here's the new, slightly modified route that now runs over highway 17 instead of Zayante Rd:


So, the route is now:Let me know if this route looks okay with everyone!

 

not gonna make it on the 29th

me and some friends are going to big bear lake for the weekend, but i went over to 9 today around 1am and i love that road :P

 

looks like my MINI wont be ready but I still wanna meet up with you guys. mind if I tag along in my other car? I think ill cut across bear creek instead of going over 17 since 17 = speed trap. Im definitely down for empire grade thought.... I love that friggin road!

 

What time will you be in Felton?
Easier for me to run over to Hwy1 and then North to 17.

 

Won't make this one. Working that weekend.

 

Nikki says clutch out at 9:15am in Los Gatos which will put us into n Felton sometime around 9:45 (assuming that we leave on time ). We will be coming down Mt. Hermon road from Scotts Valley and heading up Felton Empire Grade. Maybe you could wait next to the Chevron in Felton.

 

Mind if I tag along with y'all? I've been itching to go on a good spirited run lately. I'm afraid I've never been on a Nikki run before.

 

Welcome, latte hiatus! The more the merrier!!!

Dudes and the Dudette, not going to make to this one either, to busy preparing for the little one on the weekends now.
We will be back though!!! +1 even for better corner balancing.

Have fun out there.

 

Is the run on come rain or shine? Seems like there's a slight possibility of rain this weekend.

 

what's the $/gal for 100 octane these days??

 

It was $4.70 / gal last weekend.

It looks like it's going to rain on Friday and Saturday but Sunday looks nice!
