Another successful run this last weekend with 27 MINIs and 1 "MINI Counterfeiter" participated in this fun event. On the next run, we'll be visiting our neighbor down south in CA.

(Sorry, the event is now FULL and no longer accepting RSVPs.)

Motor on!

 

Lots of work putting that together! Do you recall the length of the journey in miles from morning meeting place to end of trip? Thanks.

 

We're still in the process of mapping the route. So far, we have 400+ miles for the first day. Usually, we do several pre-runs to validate the route before the actual tour with club members. For latest info, please check out our website at www.PDXMINI.org. :smile:

 

How many cars do you expect from PDX joining you on this trip? Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts (REME) members will likely be meeting up with you on Friday in Garberville and join you on Saturday to Brookings.

 

I believe we have somewhere between 10 to 15 cars for this run. Last year when we made the trip down to Crescent City as a 2-day tour, we had about the same amount. For more info, please contact our event coordinator at events@pdxmini.org.

 

According to our event coordinator, this event is now full and no longer accepting RSVP. However, if you've made hotel reservation and haven't RSVP'ed, please do so ASAP by contacting events@pdxmini.org. As for those of you who already RSVP'ed, get ready for a thrill of countless twisties and the beautiful scenery that Redwood has to offer.

 

Hi PDX,

We just got back to Healdsburg about 30 minutes ago, and I wanted to thank you all for such a fun ride. Despite our single casualty and the wet weather, the run was a blast and we all enjoyed it.

Your club members ability to drive in the wet weather proved beneficial with all the down pours... leaving most of the REME group a little behind with your sweepers. Wet weather driving is not our forte' but we learned a lot of new skills on this run.

I think we should distribute 'Trail Tested' decals for all cars completing "The Wildcat". That's a ride that I look forward to in my Jeep Liberty on a sunny day in the near future (although I don't think I'll take the MINI on it again until the state invests in some asphalt and a road grader).

I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Peter

 

Hello PDX Mini, This is Glenn, the mini that broke down. Thanks to all in your club for the invite. I am OK, the Mini suffered a broken belt. Mini USA covered the tow. I had to pay for repairs. I arrived back in Sacramento at midnight. Got a room for 2 nights until repairs could be completed on Monday morning.The main thing is the MINI will ride again. I have more time off later in the year. Thanks again for all that you did to make this a success. GLENN

 

My Mom, who lives in Grants Pass, wrote me this last weekend and said she saw about 10 MINIs headed out the 199 out of Grants Pass headed for the coast. She saw you!! [img]images/smilies/thumb-up.gif[/img]
