Hello All,
I'm still coming. Bummer that you can't make it 1Minigrl, you will be missed.
20Cooper04, I will be coming from the East on I-40, so i will meet you there. Anyone else want to motor out with us?
BTW, what is the exit # for Clemmons?

melindalou, count me as a singleton for the restaurant.

Looking forward to it. See you all there.
Vroom.

That's okay I'm already missing it! All the more reason for people to come out and see me DJ next month, that live in the RDU area! Bwuahahahahaha!!!!!!

That'll be enough to scare anyone! Well all for Bob and the guys from last month who saw me dressed up to go out that night after our MINI dinner in Morrisville!

have fun motoring and get some killer pictures!

Michelle

Update for me!

Is is too late to change my mind about going???? I've done some serious thinking, and I'm going to come to the drive! YAY!!!

Melinda Lou, I'll be cruising solo for this so if you can add one more to the dinner list that would be great!!!! I need this break, so I'm taking it! See you all this weekend!

Audioman, let me know what time to meet up with you and we'll motor up there...our late but always welcome parade of black MCSs!

Okay Everybody,

I think you can put in the address 1485 S.Sterling Street into your NAV systems, and it should get you pretty close to the BP Station. Sorry, I'm just getting that number off of Streets and Trips, so it's just a guesstimate. If you get off the exit and head north, the BP station is about 2 inches (more or less ) off the exit. I don't know what I was thinking in not getting the exact address of the BP. I hope we have a good crowd, and I hope you guys find the drive and the company enjoyable!
I will see you Saturday!
Melinda:smile:

My daughter has decided to spend the "Day with Dad". So please add one more guest to the trip. I know its late notice. But you don't get many of these when she's 13!

Thanks!!!

I wanted to thank everyone for coming out! We had 9 MINIs, and I hope everyone had a good time! This was the first drive that I have helped organize, so if anyone has any comments or constructive criticism, I would be glad to hear them. I will try to post pictures soon.

Melinda,

I think you did a great job! I had a great time! Now I just have to step up and take charge of the Halloween run! I have a couple of ideas, so we'll see how it pans out! THanks again, you really did a good job!

Here's a link to the photos I took from the run! Sorry if they are a bit blurry or shaky, but it's hard to take pictures and drive! Please let me know if you all have a problem getting to the pictures. OOPs, one last thing, if anyone wants a bigger print than what comes up, just drop me a line and I'll email it to you!

Glad to hear that Trainmama's recovering well! Tell her she's got to be better by then, as she's the club's official photographer since the early June dirve!

Wow!

All of you guys pictures are great! I'm having trouble getting mine posted. I hope to have them up soon. But all of yours will put mine to shame! I don't know what I was thinking, but I didn't get any scenery shots, and the lake really is beautiful. I wish I would have gotten a shot of Table Rock too!
Melinda
PS-Trainman, tell Trainmama I'm glad she is doing well!

Melindalou,
Great job organizing a fun event! It was nice to see some new faces as well as the familiar ones. I think we have great community of enthusiasts. Glad I could partake.

Trainman,

Glad Trainmama is doing much better! Can't wait to see you guys out and about again! Although when she's taking pictures, you'll have to be careful and not hug the right side of the road! I remember the last run up in the mountains very well and how many trees came close to getting kissed!

Michelle
