ZINFUL, if there are placards left I would like one too. We got into this late too but no problem if there are all out.

Thanks,

Scott

 

Add COOPER FLAGS, to the list of nice folks that have donated attendence prizes for the run. Don't forget a camera and radio if you have one. See you on Saturday, ready to MOTOR.

 

Sorry to say, My and my wife can't make it after all. We will however be able to meet yall at the Bella Milano's event in two weeks. See yall soon.

Cheers, Jason

 

Looks like we may have rain on Sat. however we will be there and look forward to seeing everyone again.

The roads around where we live just were resurfaced with chip and oil so if it rains it may wash off some of the gravel dust I get just trying to leave the house and go anywhere. I can't stand having my new MINI dusty

Scott

 

Well, OF COURSE it's going to rain!
40-some-odd people are all washing their cars on Friday!

 

Should have seen the rain we had when 100+ MINIs all washed thier cars in MITM.

 

I won't wash Lucy, just scrub some bugs off her hood. That might help fend off some rain. I'll be driving down from Quincy, anyway, no point in washing Lucy before running a two hour gauntlet of summer bugs (and the same gauntlet on the way home).

 

It's looking like we will have 40-50 MINIs/Minis for the rallye tomorrow About the placards, Doug had a due date to order them. If you told me before July 31st there is one waiting for you, if not it will depend on how many are left.

See you all tomorrow Rain or shine A little rain never hurt our MINIs

Lois

 

Needs to be less! Better chance I will win the car cover! =P

 

Wish I could be there. Oh well I'll see you folks next month

Have a glass for me

Mark

 

If it rains it is all my fault.

Looking at the radar, now 2045 local time there is a good size thunderstorm just to the north of us and a severe thunder storm watch until 0100 local time.

Go figure!!!!! No rain all summer!!!!!! But tomorrow they are calling for it.

They have been wrong before....but since "we" washed "our" Mini ....it will rain.

Sorry everyone. :impatient

 

I'll still wash mine before heading over there in the morning. That's part of what's nice about owning a MINI basic cleaning only takes like 10 minutes. Well I definitely look forward to meeting everyone I haven't met yet. And sorry doug that I never got that disc mailed out to you...I will bring it with me tomorrow.

 

What a good time!

Thanks to all our coordinators and sponsors! It was a bit hot, but no rain and we did have a great time. I saw at least 34 MINIs and one Mini, but my count is probably a bit light as there was wine begging to be sampled.

Cheers,
Mike

 

Mike, spot-on with your post!

It was a great time and the rain held off for the days events. Always nice to put the faces with the login names.

Lois, GREAT DRIVING with the first group!! DataBob, sorry we lost you along the way.

It was great to have made new friends today....hope to see everyone again real soon!

I agree the best outing with the club since joining. What a day and what was the final count, someone said 50? Great prizes and such a nice drive on the twisties. I'm glad I'm back in a MINI again to get out with everyone and have fun together. I can't wait for MTTS now with the rumors of the numbers of MINIs that are signed up to drive.

I took a few pics and will post them this weekend. Good seeing everyone.


Great job Doug and everyone that organized this annual ralley, can't wait for next year.

Motor on!

Scott

 

Glad to see there was a big turnout! Unfortunately my work decided they needed me to drive a train this morning at 4:30. They just don't understand the importance of MOTORING!

 

I agree with the great time. Thanks to everyone that helped set it all up, it was fantastic. I got to meet a number of new people which is always a good time. Can't wait for next year.

Shannah

 

What a great day The sun stayed out, the rain didn't happen & I'm pretty sure everyone had a great time Thanks for a job well done, Doug & Donna

And to whoever won the California Duster, I have the carrying case

Lois

 

Great event!
Great turnout!
Great day!

Thanks to everyone who coordinated this event -- especially Doug!



I'm already looking forward to the 5th annual run.

 

Come on.....no pictures yet?!?!? Our battery died at Ruby Tuesdays.

If we had some we would post them.....stop holding out and post pictures!

 

We would like to thank every one who attended this year's winery run, it was a lot of fun putting it on and I hope everyone had a good time. The offical car count was 42, just 2 off of the record, that gives us something to aim for next year.
I have some really good news to report. In recounting the money raised for STRAY RESCUE, the grand total is $483.00, so thanks to everyone for the generous donations.
Don't forget to patronize the nice folks who contributed our attendence prizes: World Class Motoring, Viking Products, Red Line Oil, Out Motoring, Mini of St. Louis, Mini Mania, John Bull Garage, and Cooper Flags. And tell your friends how nice the Balducci Winery is.
Hope to see everyone soon,
Cheers,
Doug & Donna Travis

Those are some of the ones I took, at least until DataBob and I lost the group. Still, it was great fun.

 

Checkmate and Cube, thanks for posting the links for your photos.....they look GREAT!!!

Cube, next time we get together we need to talk Home Theater.

 

We have to agree - it was a great day and thanks to our coordinators for setting up the drive, and making sure that the weather held for us topless motorers. I think i counted 42 MINIs and that included the one Mini.
