Run to the Rhineland Rallye
Updated: 4/3/09

When: April 18, 2009
Time: 9 am

Where: Park n’ Ride ( Rt 94 & 64/40 S.E. Corner) Weldon Spring, MO

We will be taking some great back roads to Hermann, MO. and then ending in Chesterfield Valley Airport area. A picnic lunch/restaurant of your choice for lunch time and some time for site seeing. Route maps will be handed out before the drive.

Note: We have had to change to another route since Paul was not able to finalize everything with the coordinators. The Rallye will go on, and it will still be great.

 

If the date works, we'll be there I've been on Paul's rallyes

I hope to make it too, depending upon the date.

Glad to see you back!

 

I hope to be there too! (Depending on the date.)

Welcome back, Paul!

 

I will be there! I'll be looking forward to no snow by then!

 

 

Any updates? Are we on? Would be most cool

 

Sounds great, we are ready to motor. Becky and Dan

FYI: At the start of our Rallye, Jim Hunt ( local Amsoil dealer) will give a short presentation and special pricing on his products. He will also have a drawing for a FREE oil and filter change. See you all on the 18th. Dan

 

Mr Sun is REALLY bummed. His driver has a knee problem and can't bend his left knee. A full knee brace for the next month is what I have. We're sorry that we can't make this one.

 

Hope you have a speedy recovery on the knee.

 

Is this a rain or shine event? I've been watching the forecast and they can't seem to decide if it is raining Saturday or not.

 

MINI's love to play in the rain, but we're hoping for some sunshine. Yes, this is a rain or shine event. Motor On, Dan

 

Have fun! I was planning on visiting, but I'm not going to make it.

Val

 

I'll be there, but I'll have to peel off before lunch to pick up the daughter at noon.

 

Rain is the reason the windscreens have wipers, and wax was invented to protect the paint

Fun day today Great job Dan, and Becky.

Sure it rained, but you need to know how to handle twisties in all kinds of weather, and for some tire conditions

Mark

 

Dan hit it on the head, 'Mini's like to play in the rain'!

Appreciate Dan and Becky pulling this together

Great time!. Awesome Route. Enjoyed meeting you all

Awesome route

I'll post the pic's Cathy and I took later today.

Shall we do it all again next weekend?

 

I don't think I've ever seen Gimli so dirty but we sure had fun in spite of the rain

Great job, Dan & Becky

Lois

 

I thought next weekend was supposed to be nice weather

I'll hold Gimli down, and you take the hose to him

Mark

 

Great to see everyone yesterday. A little rain cannot keep our MINI's from being afraid to come out of the garage for some fun. Motor On, Dan

 

We had a great time at the "Rally in the Rain", so much for cleaning up the car to make a good first appearance. We met great people, I drove the car for the first time (its the wife's), the car got driven in the rain for the first time, and it also got its first rock chip ON THE ROOF! (I knew I should have had Mark clear bra the whole car). The roads were absolutely perfect for the "spirited" driving even in the rain. I can't wait for the next rally!

 

Yeah, nothing better than motoring in a tight group, rolling and twisting along
