I've commented about this in another thread. With exceptions, it seems as though we early adopters who crossed the chasm a while back are in the majority of wavers. You sound like an exceptional MINI driver.

My MINI has just over 119K miles. It's on its third transmission, second half-shaft and clutch, second passenger-side window motor, and a defective windshield wiper motor. The passenger-side door has an 18-inch long key scratch. A hit-n-run (by kids your age) where my 6 and 7 year-olds cried with fright and various road scars have all taken their toll on my '03 Cooper. Aftermarket doodads include a KN cold-air intake, Nology ignition wires, H-Sport suspension (springs and control arms), and the prototype Megan exhaust.

I'm ready for an R56 Turbo!

lol.. is there a safe and big area to park our cars there ? I am just **** about parking in packed parking lots so this might be a stupid question.

Where is everybody coming from and how long is everybody up 2 drive ?

Does a drive around pch and some canyons up there sound good or too far ?? We did a run a while back and it was amazing and perhaps we can do the same route.

We're not finding it hard to start a mini only meet. We just want to set up a nice little meet and run, which will happen on feb 9th.

Yeah Glen , I am talking about the moala run. We could do something like that. It was a blast so why not.

Should we meet around 9:30 am and roll out at 10am ?

We could meet somewhere around LA, hop on the freeway and go to some local twisties. Anyone know of a good spot in LA, good parking lot and somewhere with a starbux ??
