If anybody coming from the west of Daytona wants to meet at the Volusia Mall at 11am let me know... We could caravan up to the park from there.

Also, two things: I did the loop last Saturday to check traffic, and noticed lots of cyclists (pedal type, and sport bikes). I saw two people walking, and an abundance of people fishing. Second, if the papers and TV news people are coming, we can be damn sure the Sheriffs and Police will know all about us...

Kat, when are you leaving and where from? Might tag a long with you.

 

Anyone else leaving from Orlando around 10:00am?

 

We live near the Avenues Mall and since it's only about 1 hr drive (normal cars take about 2 hours) I'd say at the earliest 10am. I wouldn't mind arriving a little early. We could meet at the mall if you'd like. Do you have walkie talkies? I have spares.

 

Yea, I have walkie talkies. I would be happy to arrive early. Where do you want to meet at the mall?

Shall we say, near the Parisian entrance? That's in the middle (Southside Blvd side) and away from parking congestion. I'll be there a bit before 10. Keep your radio tuned. Was that Ch 14/7?

 

Yep 14/7 and I'll see you at Parisian at 10 or a little before.

On a side note, do you have racks on your MINI?
I passed a EB MINI yesterday with racks when I was leaving work yesterday.

Wasn't me. I'm EB/White/Racing stripes and pretty much standard issue MCS. I don't see too many Mini's on the Southside. 1 or 2 a week. And I flash every one of them! Glad we could hook up. We'll have a great day.

 

See you Saturday then.

 

minimotorin and KatKrenn - I had planned on taking US1 to SR314 (?) in St. Augustine, then driving down A1A to get to Gamble Rogers. Would you guys consider going this way? I have taken this route to Daytona several times, and it sure beats driving through the Interstate construction. If so, I'll meet you guys at The Avenues at 10!

 

That would be the route of my choice as well. Yes, please join us!

 

Abe, I'd prefer to go this way to avoid all the construction and the filth that will put on the cars. How about you Kat?

 

Yep! It's a deal then! Let the SUV's eat the dust.

 

C U @ 10 U 2 !

 

>>Okay... The people at the park are getting PRETTY EXCITED about the rally! They have called several newspapers and TV stations... Geez...LOL. I just got off the phone with a reporter from Palm Coast wanting to know all about the "MINI Phenomenon." LOL. I'm still cracking up. She wanted to know about how we all got together and just the MINI "culture" in general. She'll be there Saturday to take pics for the paper. Geez... This is turning into something huge.


We're going to be famous!

 

>>Yep 14/7 and I'll see you at Parisian at 10 or a little before.


My bad Kat, it's actually Channel 7 sub 21 .

 

I'm actually leaving Clermont and will probably be in Orlando by 10, do ya wanna meet up??

 

>>Anyone else leaving from Orlando around 10:00am?

Yes, my girlfriend and I will be heading up from College Park in Orlando around that time. Where are you? Are you thinking about a caravan from Orlando?

James

 

Yes, I'm going to be leaving the Orlando area around 10 ish, would you like to meet somewhere and all leave together? Let me know! It would be fun fun fun!!

 

How about the rest stop in between Longwood and Lake Mary at 1030??

 

Yup. A Caravan. Or if you're old enough to remember the 70's, "Looks like we got us a convoy..."

We're leaving from College Park as well. How about if we all meet up at 10:00am at the Starbucks on Edgewater at Yale?

Easy access to coffee, Publix and I-4 via Princeton.

Sound good?

- Mark

btw... What kind of walkie talkies are everyone talking about?

 

>>How about the rest stop in between Longwood and Lake Mary at 1030??


What if the College Park contingent hits the rest stop around 10:15-ish and picks up the rest of the caravan...??

 

Oh gosh guys....I'm a bit lost, I don't know my way around that area too well.....I'm from Clermont. Can you give me directions coming from Clermont on the turnpike? I would reaaaallllllly appreciate it a lot!!

 

Ok wait a second I know where Princeton is at.....do I get there via the East-West? If Princeton is where you all are meeting, can you tell me what to do once I get off on the Princeton St. exit off of the East-West? Or am I totally going the wrong way.....I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING PLEASE HELPP MEEEEEE!! LOL. :evil:

 

princeton exit on the east west? man, you are lost!

starbucks from clermont:

take the east-west to I-4, go east (towards daytona) to princeton st.
go west (turn left) to get to edgewater drive.
turn left on edgewater, it will be on your left.

OR

take east-west to john young parkway, go north (turn left)
john young parkway turns into lee rd. at 441 (keep going straight on lee rd.)
turn right on edgewater. it will be on your left.

OR
