MINI Driving school partner

I am looking for a partner to split motel/hotel room cost with on Friday the 29th in the Jupiter, FL area. I want to attend the Phil Wicks MINI driving school on the 30th. Last week the cheapest rate I could find was about $80 which, after dropping $200 for the school tuition, I could not justify. Don't even know if that rate is still available. So I decided not to go, then thought , maybe there is another cheap @$%#%^^ out there that would like to split the costs. Would really like to go to that school. (wife says roomy cannot be female , oops .
Email me or post here.

I totally understand! I do lots of track events, they are not cheap, but I am! I frequently share a room, but being female, it's not always so easy to find a roomie! I've shared with men who are married, men who have a girlfriend, two guys, all of us on a separate bed! Well, one each on two beds and one on the couch!

Anyhow, post on MINI2.com in the region appropriate for you, find the regional MINI club/forum and post there. Contact Phil Wicks, perhaps he would have a suggestion for you. Who knows, maybe someone emailed him looking for the same thing.

Good luck!

Ben....

Talk to me... give me some details. I have been wating to go to a driving school and such.

I am in Charleston, SC and could drive down if the school is worth it....... but that would be one hell of a drive for me!

If the course is worth it we will see... be happy to split the room or just pay for it outright (you will owe me a few cocktails) and yes I'm a guy.......

I appreciate the responses from Tontobird and Custom AV. Thanks for the suggestions Tontobird. CruzinChris from over Tampa way PM'd me and we are both searching for a mutually acceptable room rate but availability is not good in that area. CustomAV that would be a heck of a drive for you. Since I am a novice I don't know a lot about it but have read several raves about it that convinced me to go for it. You can get the details at www.sunshineminis.org or Phil Wicks website. Thanks for the offer, if Chris and I can't work it out I'll contact you. I hope we can still register for it this close to the date. Thanks again to y'all.
