Hey everyone,
It's January and I was wondering what we should do for Nikki Run #4.
Any ideas?

 

Pardon my ignorance but what is a nikki run?

 

im down!!!

 

Oh this is going to be fun to watch..........

The only day I can go is the 29th at noon otherwise I'm out, sorry.

 

It's what we named a group of Minis that have gotten together in the past to go on a spirited drive. The organizer/leader/poster/head dudett's name is Nikki, thus the name Nikki Run.

 

I'm good for the 29th as well. Entered a car show on the 22nd - come check me out in SF @ Japan town

 

what show? Ilive 2 blocks away........ I'll come check it out

 

Here is one of the flyers - shoot me a PM and I'll see how I can get one to you

 

Would be fun remembers when chp passed us up last time on 280 going to Point Reyes.

 

29th works for me, too.
Jim

 

Does anyone know the where-abouts of Nikki??

 

Im determined to make this one.... can I hitch a ride with someone the rest of the way if my car breaks?

 

What's the proposed route?

 

Now how can you have Nikki Run #4 without Nikki???

I'm in! Sounds like we're going with 1/29.
Anyone want to propose a route? I'll rustle up the regulars with some PMs.

Jason, since you were a gracious host back in April before my MINI arrived, I'd be more than happy to return the favor - should you need a ride. Let's just make sure we can call it a night before 3am!

Welcome bpetzold!

 

How bout Bear Creek Road out to Felton, head out to the Bonny Doon area and hit 1 back up to 84. Take 84 back over the hill maybe stopping at Alice's. From there we can figure out if we wanna do more or stop there.

Opinions?

 

As of today I'm good to go ... hopefully work won't raise its ugly head that weekend.
Jason - your route sounds good to me.

 

Sun the 29th probably works for me If i'm in town, I'd love to go. I live in Scotts Valley. Could pick up in felton perhaps. I'll check in later to see how it's setting up. Haven't been on a MINI run yet...
Hi Nikki.
Cheers,
Skottoman

 

The 29th works for me too. Count me in. Thanks for the heads up!

 

Hey everyone, getting ready for another snow storm . Have not been to the BayArea in awhile. 29th sounds good for me Weather permitting. Also want to let you know I am now in NEW Mini group called SIERRA NEVADA MINIS. glenn

 

Unfortunately I will be out of town that weekend. I’ll actually be up Glen’s way snow camping. But if this falls through I’ll be there. Also I have a garage full of new parts I need to get some time to install. Should have them on the car by Nikki Run #5

 

I've drawn up a map for Jason's proposed route and I've added a couple of side roads (#3 Zayante Rd, #6 Gazos Creek and Cloverdale) to add to the excitement. I'll verify the quality of Zayante Road before we head down there.

Maybe we could meet in Los Gatos near the end of Santa Cruz road where it merges into highway 17. This should make for a good jumping off point.

70 miles through the mountains and down the coast with lunch at Alice's. Should be fun.

 

Hi Everyone,

We won't be making it to Nikki Run #45 . However, we are going to try to make the Mines Road to Lick Observatory Run on 2/12 (posted in the Norcal Mini and REME. Hopefully we will see you there.

Awesome!
