Had a great time with fellow SCMM members in San Diego today. I drove down from Orange County with a few other members and back on one tank of fuel, and that's with hard aggresssive driving included! I averaged 29.8 mpg, and filled it up with premium at $2.48 per gallon. Ouch!!!

On man, I wish that I would have known about this run! I was looking for something to do all day today. I need to send in my SCMM membership.

35mm only, and have not processed yet. The Palomar Observatory down hill run was wild! The hardest I have pushed my Mini to date. 5,000 miles of tread scrubbed off?

Moving this thread from MINI Talk to SoCal forum.

Sounds like a fun run, speltzer! And, Rick, do sign up for SCMM. Great group and there are lots of fun events year-round.
