Please excuse the tripple post. I hit a wrong key somewhere. More exact details will follow soon. Thanks, Dan

 

Sounds like fun, we will be there.

I figure this is the thread to respond in

This is my favorite event of the year but it's the same weekend as the BMW Frost on The Pumpkin Track event at Gateway. :(

 

I am looking forward to this! We have not been able to make it out to an event is SO long. How long do you think the drive will be this year?

 

Since the start point is a little bit of a drive south of St Louis and the route goes south from there, we've made a run that is around 2.5 hours. We understand that once you drive from the St Louis area (or farther) to the start point, run the route, then possibly drive back north in one day that's a lot of driving.

At this time, we have one stop planned during the run. We are still in the process of finalizing the plans and the route may change some before the day of the rallye, as well as the final location plans.

 

This should be a lot of fun, I know Mike and Jean have been planing this for a long time, let's have a good turn out and show the folks in southern Missouri that we don't drive lawn mowers as we accused of once down south.

 

Good to hear from you, it has been a long time, look forward to seeing you. People at MITM were asking about you.
Cheers,

 

It's not THAT far south

But a few years ago some of us visited Mike & Jene down there in Dexter & I think they referred to us as driving cotton gins

And, thanks Mike, for being patient with the powers that be & finally getting a chance to do the run we had tried to do last Spring.

I went and got married, and moved all in like a month of each other! Oh I am still trying to getthings back in shape.

 

Hello Everyone, More info for the fall drive.

Starting

 

Excuse me but my keyboard has a kremlin hiding somewhere. Starting location for the Fall Drive: 1NOV08, 10AM, Buchheits Farm Supply Store, 1011 S. Hwy 51, Perryville, MO This is exit 129 on I-55. Destination: RiverRidge Winery, 850 County Rd 321 Commerce, MO They do have a website for more information on their winery. So, mark your calenders, check your oil, air up the tires and wash the bugs off the windshield for a super day in southern Missouri. Event Hosts: Michael & Jean McGill. Let's Motor, Dan

 

Bump-Perhaps someone should sticky this thread

If anyone is interested, I checked the mileage and it's about 75 miles from Kirkwood. About a 1 1/2 hour trip if you go the speed limit

See you all there. We may be bringing a surprise

Lois

 

I hope you do surprize us. We'll be there. Motor On, Dan

 

What surprise

Mark

 

Surprise Did you get me something, sweetie

Lois

 

[See you all there. We may be bringing a surprise

Is it by chance a new cousin for Rupert to meet? .

MsBrit

 

Can't wait to see Rupert, more than just blasting by in traffic. I could see the big smile on your face.................NICE!

 

Didn't know for sure that you had Rupert Congrats And hopefully we'll see you on the 1st

St. Louis Post Dispatch, front page headline, "St. Louis area policeman dies in an auto accident returning from a winery in Commerce, Missouri"



I would be fine, I am just "fun'n ya!"

 

Can't make it, as Mike said, same weekend as the BMW track day. I'll be working with the BMW/Porsche/Audi clubs over the winter to get their schedules to us early so we can avoid event conflicts like this next year.

 

Howdy, just one more week till the Fall Rallye. Get those yard jobs done this weekend so you can have some fun Motoring Time on 1 November. Let's Motor, Dan

 

Do you have any idea what time you may be getting to the winery?

MsBrit

 

It's 2 1/2 hour run to the winery according to the email. So with a potty stop & maybe not getting started until 10:30 or so, I would say somewhere between 1 & 2. Just a guess however.

 

If it's a nice day I was thinking about driving straight to the winery from home and meeting everyone there, but by looking at the map there doesn't seem to be any way to get across the river. Does anyone know if there is a bridge off of Route 3 on the Illinois side into Cape Girardeau? Google is showing me to go all the way to Sikeston and then North.
