We will meet at 10:30 am in the parking lot of Ruby Tuesdays located at the intersection of Highway 40/64 and Highway K. (Exit 9, 3 miles west of the Missouri River Bridge) Go north on K to the 1st traffic light (Technology Drive) turn left and you will see the group forming up. There is a Cracker Barrel, Starbucks, Quick Trip, and Mobil at this intersection if you want to come early for fuel for the body or Mini.

We will push off at 11:00 am for the run to the winery on a mixture of roads you have been on before and a few new ones. This is the 5th year for Minis On The Dragon and the 5th year for The Winery Run. We don’t have the Dragon, but we do have a few roads that might be called The Salamander.

Rick & Carol Balducci will provide us with special parking, a covered picnic area, and all Mini owners 21 & older will receive 50% off their first bottle of wine. Bring a picnic or they have very nice reasonably priced food to purchase. They also have several micro beers for sale and soft drinks. The covered picnic area and live music make for a wonderful day in the in the Missouri Wine Country.
The winery is a family friendly place, bring a kite or Frisbee, but no animals please.

Lots of attendance prizes, a raffle, 50/50 drawing, good twisties, good food, good wine, good friends, life is good when you drive a Mini.

Please RSVP to lois@stlmini.com so we can determine how many placards to order. They will cost $5.00 each, first come, first serve.

Last year we had 51 cars, let’s break that record.

Don’t forget a camera & a GMRS/FRS radio if you have one.

I think I've RSVP'd... If not the Zoom's from Indiana will be there.

 

Sorry about that... checked my sent messages and I emailed our RSVP on the 16th. Curse this forgetfullness!

 

I won't be there this year :(. But can I still be part of the Raffle? I actually start school on august 13 and it will take up just about every saturday for the next year and a half. I'm really disappointed I can't come, but school is more important....I guess. As long as I have the gas money I will see you all at Bella Milano's

You can be in the raffle if you give someone who is coming cash or check for tickets. We'll be sending out an email to let everyone know how much the tickets will be. And a check to Backstoppers will be acceptable.

I RSVP'd, and it looks like my MINI will arrive just in time! I pick it up tomorrow afternoon...

This looks likes a lot of fun!

 

Hello fellow Mini enthusiasts in St. Louis,

I just picked up my PW/PW Mini on Friday and am really really happy!

I cannot make the run this Saturday but hope to join in another event.

Could someone let me know where you are getting the spiffy Mini Cooper cartoons from? I would really like to acquire one to add to my signature!

With a cheery wave,

Minimyway.

 

We ran the route on Sunday. It was fun, and the roads are in good shape

Mark

 

We will be there...coming from columbia...if anyone is coming from that way, please email or im me so we can hook up for the drive...

bryan and tammy

 

I'm sad to say that I won't make it to this one.
Some family event was scheduled without consulting me first, and then I just found out about it yesterday.
Besides, I wasn't sure if Holly (my classic) was going to be back out of the shop in time anyway, and it looks like she's not. Mid July the differential pin snapped and took the back of the transmission housing with it, dumping all of the oil in the engine and sump. Talk about catastrophic failure! Ah, the joys of owning a classic Mini.
So, combined - I'm just gonna call it on this one.
Catch 'ya all next time and have a glass for me!

 

Remember gang RAIN OR SHINE!!!

It's looking like rain on Saturday But we'll be in a covered seating area & hopefully it will be much cooler

Upwards of 60 MINIs have RSVP'd Including Indy & KC folks

See you all on Saturday

Lois

 

Had a great time with everyone. The Drive was excellent! Prizes were great too. Not to mention a great cause.
