Its out there... trust me. Too many MINIs on the road now for me to tell if I know any of you guys though. Usually 80-90 year old asian ladies lollygagging around in the fast lane with their giant sun visors over their face

 

Guess I'll have to show up to see my MTTS buddies again!

Did you SEE how I got dissed in Motor Trend??

Some people don't seem to understand that geezers just wanna have fun!

PS: Bring on the Bimmers and Loti. (Big smile with wolf teeth showing)

Cheers,
Sid

 

J, If you'd like a sun visor mask too, i can pick one up for you

 

Im good on the sun visors dude

 

I refer to those as welder's masks.

 

"Age and Treachery will always overcome Youth and Skill".
Geezer-on my man!
Hope tou see you there.
Jim

 

Thanks, Jim. But I think the verb form is "geez" as in "Why don't you quit geezing on those young ladies?"

 

Or quit being a Hefner

 

But Hefner actually GETS the young ladies!!

 

Tru dat!

The only problem I have is, if I get them, then I don't want to follow through. The thrill for me is in the chase and counting coup. Kinda like on the track.

"Counting coup meant rushing up to an enemy, usually on horseback, and simply touching him with your hand or with a coup stick. In essence, the warrior was stating, "I could have killed you, but I did not, and there was nothing you could do to stop me!" A coup showed disdain for the enemy as not being worthy of killing. To die in battle was the ultimate honor, so it was a huge disgrace to be merely touched in battle.

Since the eagle is the spirit closest to the creator, eagle feathers were sacred to the American Indians. Any warrior could possess an eagle feather, but he could only wear an eagle feather after he had earned a verified coup during battle. Thus wearing an eagle feather was a great honor and commanded respect amongst other warriors. The more coups a warrior earned the more eagle feathers the warrior could wear. Thus, when a warrior earned many coups, his fellow warriors would donate eagle feathers to create a head dress of eagle feathers that signified the warrior’s coups, and they would give the head dress to the warrior to signify their honoring"

At the track we award the FMOTD (Fastest MINI of the Day) Thunderhill cap because eagle feathers are so hard to find these days. We'll add an eagle feather for each repeat,though, 'cause that's really special.

 

Ah! Yes! I now undestand, Obi-Wan
What I need to know is can one be a member of the "Peter Pan never wanna grow up Club" and still be a geezer?

Jim

 

Geezers do not discriminate. we welcome ladies, gentlemen and children of all ages!

Bump.

This is tomorrow, folks! Hope to see you there!

Here's the proposed route:

 

Looks like I'll be able to make it sans my trusty co-pilot. Look forward to seeing you all again.

Cheers,
Dave

 

Not this time ... I'll be traveling to Red Bluff to check out a '63 Ford for my son (OK - it's really for me, since he is only 15).
Hope you guys have fun.
Keep at least 3-wheels on the asphalt!

Tim

 

Was fun guys. Sorry I couldn't stick around longer.

cleaning asphalt bits from the hatch/bumper/rims, not fun

 

Great run today, gang! Thanks for coming out!!!
We'll see you all next Sunday for the Scavenger Hunt!!!

 

Thanks for the fun run everyone!

Kept me too busy drivin' on the twisties that photos were out of the questions. Only photo I took was at the Ikky-Ds:

Jim

No worries, Jim - just glad yo could join us!

 

looks like it was a good one! I was at a wedding in Pleasanton... but thinking of twisties...

Nikki is that your new aero kit I see?

 

Freaky scary as in not broken in, or as in not the same grip as the Avons you were running?

 

Think about 50/50. Car was real tail-happy.
