My problem.
In March there is a big Mini meet in St. Petersburg where I live. Autocross, old and new Minis....really big meet.
There is also the Boxter cup in Daytona. The Boxter cup is a motorcycle race, evenly matched BMWs so driver skill is key, that is coming to the states for the first time.
I also will get a chance to demo some BMWs, on the track at Daytona that weekend, like the K1200, etc. Also may run my R1100R around the track. Now the autocross in St. Pete was going to be my first in the S so that is pretty significant as well. What would you do? I wish I had a clone.
BTW anyone taking vacation in March both of these events will be great but that is Bike Week in Daytona so I advise the Mini meet in St. Pete for out of towners.

LMAO!! With the way 2minis drives, the helicopter would probably be a waste of money...he could get from St. Pete to Daytona in no time...barring those wonderful FHP officers....I HATE it when they have the traps with the camaros...they need MINIs...then again...they don't!!

Seriously, I think Spring Thing/Fling...whatever it is, is going to be amazing this year. A couple hundred classic and new MINIs...what could be better?

<woohoo...my 150th post ::doing happy dance:: >

2! thry're letting you on the track!? Go for the bike thing! You know that that is for a much more limited audience and may not come around again ... whereas there will always be another MINI meet; I'm sure all the MCO'ers at the Spring Thing will be extreamly disapponted at missing the opportunity to meet a real 6th-gearer, but they'll see you next time - - Go Biking!!

I'll be at the March MINI meet in Clearwater/St Pete. So that's my answer. Motorcycles aren't for me. The MINI is small and vulnerable enough.
