Well after seeing nothing but gloom doom and rain forecast for this coming weekend for the last month, today I check the weather and they've done an about face! Now they're saying sunny and dry for the whole weekend - Yay! Temps look perfect too - low 60's and sunshiney.

We'll see if this forecast holds up till Thursday, the day before we go, but so far I'm encouraged!

I've got my Miata seat bolted in, I reset the ride height and the alignment yesterday and Buzz seems to be running well. I am going to add a hose for some carb heat, he's a bit cold natured these days and I sure won't need my Aux cooler, so it's shut off.

One day I may buy an old Mini just so I can go on this excursions.

One day we'd be happy to have you come along!

Right now the weather looks absolutely perfect, mid-60's and sunny all weekend! Woot!

We'll head out mid morning Friday and have a fun run down on some back roads I've scouted out, and arrive in Harrison late afternoon.......ready for our big drive on Sat.

Have fun!

Allrighty then!

We're all here at last, John, Don and I took the long way down, rather than just take the freeway and get here quickly....and it took even longer that expected due to traffic (getting stuck behind slow moving trucks and old farts who would NOT pull over and let us by) but the good news (touch wood) is that no one had any car issues.

All three ran perfectly the whole trip - I'm pleased to say.....

Tonight we're off to find a bite to eat, quaff a few cold adult beverages and make plans for tomorrow.

Tomorrow we'll hit the road bright and somewhat early after breakfast and go terrorize the locals! ;D

Since it was dark when we got here I couldn't get a pic of all 4 cars, so I'll do that tomorrow.....in the meantime, here's a couple from where we met up this AM at Krispy Kreme for sugar pill fuel and coffee, and our lunch stop for gas. The weather is perfect as predicted, we should have a blast tomorrow blasting around!
