This is a repeat of what Paul (from USMINICLUB )asked.. and I fully endorse it:

Calling all Club members and friends,

I propose that all “RLI2” Rally participants, Club Members and their friends join me in collecting donations for the Hurricane Katrina and thousands whom remain stranded in New Orleans. The donation should be at last a price of a full tank of gas per attending car.

Please sign up at this thread with your donation commitment, and choice (Red Cross, Salvation Army…etc) of the charity organization. The Club membership will determine the final charity of choice at the Rally on September 24th. All donations must be submitted in at the Rally meet place on Saturday September 24th.


MOTOR ON!
They can NOT!
Paul, host of USMiniClub.com


Rob here... one more thing... my own choice is the Red Cross.. plus.. the MINI Tank is approx 12 Gal.. and with Gas around $3.00 per gall.. that's $36.. which is also known as "chai".. no.. not the tea.. but from the hebrew word.. l'chaim.. which means to life.. so 36=life.. which is also a common pledge at temples. Anyway.. let's see how we can help AND have a great time!

 

Hey guys, my girlfriend and I saw you cruisin while we were heading over to Pindar for some wine tasting. Your squad looked pretty good!

I'm one of the committee members of the largest Infiniti G35 club in the Northeast, called GSquad. http://www.thegsquad.org/ We're always looking for new meet ideas, which brought us to Hot Import Nights, a couple cruises to race tracks, dino pulls, etc. Since you guys seem to be a lot like us, I was wondering what you'd think about a G/Mini meet? Most of our meets bring anywhere from 30-60 cars, but usually less in the off season.

What do you guys think?

 

Im game for any type of car meet. When and where do you guys meet up?
