Ok So my fiancée and I just spent the last week on a road trip... we first hit the back roads around Harrisonburg, VA before seeing my sister,, then we head north and saw the falling water and kentuck **** homes that frank Lloyd Wright built.. Btw this is a great part of PA to drive, the mini was awesome, and it makes a road trip feel like a road trip...!..... Then we high tailed it up to Niagara Falls by way of Erie... I went through some really cute towns... I'd like to see more of Cumberland it a cool town... so my mini ambrosias got to go to Canada and we stopped into TOWNE MINI in Buffalo... OMG thank you guys sooooo much there was no way for me to get my 1st 10k oil change before I left and you guy were able to squeeze me in, I really appreciate it... I know towne gets on here and posts so hopefully you'll hear my warm thanks and gratitude for helping us out!... btw Towne has a lot of mini goodies that I haven't seen in awhile like the air freshener and 3d glasses good to see that all that marketing stuff hasn't gone to waste... I hear that a lot of mini stores don't even do the CD thing anymore,, though they're sitting right there in the lobby.... anyway, onto highway back we took rte 15 ALLLLL the way down to basically our backyard in VA,, saw Gettysburg, Hershey and Harrisburg, and very happening town and just a whole lot of beautiful Americana and some beautiful starry nights...lakes, plains, mountains and water falls Thanks mini for making the roadtrip possible its been awesome... with the windows down and the sunroof open.. I say Motor On! MCO!.. !1500 miles

PS, I want to give a special thanks to mini for the road journal..We kept the whole trip logged in to itand we plan on loging all of our roadtrips in it...

PPS, to all the mini owners who waved to a BRG Wroof w/sunroof Licence plate
1 T BEAR Karen and I would like to send a special hello ! to you!

Regards,
Spike

Nice trip. Falling Water is awesome! I'd love to get out there again. I guess they've reopened it. I know it was closed for some repairs.

I think if I went on a little adventure like that my car would be pointed toward New England. Love it up there.

Glad you had a great time!!

Sounds like a great seven day trip Chollomo. Ain't Falling Water a trip? For the uninitiated, a river runs through it. Frank Lloyd Wright = my favourite architect.

Sounds like fun! I have yet to go on a road trip in my mini but I want to someday, does a 100 mile round trip drive to and from a mini meet count?
