OHIO G2G, Interested?

Hello. First off, the reason I am posting this in MINI Talk and not the Regional Forum is because I know every doesn't read them, thus we might not get as many people.

Anyway, this is a feeler thread. I have sent out a PM to all of those around the Cincinnati area that I know are on the boards. If you don't know, we have monthly meets at Quaker State and Lube resturant in Milford the first Monday of every month. Please check out www.cinciminis.com for upcoming event's and event details hosted by Beth.

The event's would be hosted by me, or anyone else that is willing/interested in doing so. I need help thinking of times, locations, lists of people, etc. One problem is that the meets would have to be on Sunday's for me to attend, and most likly earlier in the morning (but not too early).

PM me or post in this thread here if you are interested:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...59#post1024559

I would love to make this happen, and even more so if we could get enough people to get this G2G going every other Sunday if possible.

I will be keeping an updated list of the people around the Cinci/lower OHIO region that would be willing to attend. You can either post in this thread or PM me.

I hope we can make this happen.

List of people interested:

No idea really. Depends what everyone wants to do, and how many people would come. Sunday's I have to work at night, usually at 4pm or 5pm, so I would be able to get up earlier and go for a nice long drive!

We need everyone to post here and figure things out, and come up with some idea's!

Sweet. Please spread the word to people so we can get even more! A G2G isn't fun with only 4 people!

And how/where do I post on the Cinci MINI's site? I went to www.cinciminis.com but found no forum link?

Cinci is like 2 hours form me so a Monday is sort of out for me, but we have something like this at the Quaker Steak and Lube in Polaris in the Columbus, Ohio area on July 10 (NEXT Monday).

We'd be up for something on a weekend, though. We have friends in Cinci that we don't really need an excuse to go see them, but we'd always love to go driving with other Mini folk.

We'll also be headed down thattaway on the for the Cincinnatti Mini Fun Run on the 29th- see this site, "Upcoming Events" for details. This looks really fun.

Sweet, I know I will defenitly be at the Rally! I've been planning that for months! I'll add you to the list.

And just to let you know, we also have monthly meets at Quaker State. But once a month is NOT enough in my books!

I'll also see if some Focus people want to meet up with us, seeing as I'm a member of www.focaljet.com.

We need one large all Ohio G2G in Columbus some day.

If its in columbus, its nice and central so everyone is traveling about the same distance.

Cinci is about a 5 1/2 Hour drive for me, so anything south of Columbus wouldnt really be an option for me.

We could do that to...but as for now I'm talking local so we could meet up like every other Sunday or something.

Be my guest to host it, because I would be down for sure!

Quaker State on the 10th, G2G on the 23rd, Road Rally on the 29th, my birthday on the 31st! Wow that's a busy month!

Updated!

And I agree, let's meet at the car show! $5 isn't bad at all, and it's not far away. Alright, so who's up for this?

I may be up for it. My wife will be out of town so I'm a free spirit. Where is it & what time does it start? Details details?

Edit >> Found the link to the show in casanewt's post.

It's only $15 to enter. Wouldn't a bunch of new MINI's brighten the place up?

Of the active Localrider members I believe it's just you, me & Eddie. I'm glad Cody threw this out to the main discussion area because I didn't know you were on here! How's the summer going up there in Cleveland?

Going well. Just turned 30K on the Mini (Since May 2005). Biking has been a different story. The bike has spent most of the early summer at Crooked River (still some minor issues to figure out).
Was contemplating getting to Cincy this weekend, but it's not looking good.

I'm with Rick, we're up here in the Cleveland area, Cincy is a bit too far for a "day trip". Got a bunch of pals down there though.

Did go out to your Yahoo Group to join (even though I'm way far away)
